Charming Refurbished New England Farmhouse in a Peaceful Country Setting Welcome to 565 River Road in North Anson. .. a beautifully refreshed New England farmhouse that perfectly blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates. Just 2.5 miles from town, this inviting 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home sits in a quiet country setting surrounded by Maine's natural beauty. Step inside and you'll find original wood floors and classic wainscoting that showcase the home's heritage, while recent updates provide lasting comfort and peace of mind. The chimney has been fully rebuilt with a new high-rated liner, and the furnace has been completely redone for efficiency and reliability. A new cement pad and oil line have been added to the oil tank as well. The home features kitchens on both levels, offering flexibility for guests, extended family, or potential rental use. Outside, you'll enjoy plenty of open space and easy access to nearby hiking and ATV trails, local boat launches, and scenic Embden Lake all just minutes away.

This fixer upper has tons of potential. Bring your tools and turn this into your weekend get-away or bring the whole family and enjoy the country life. The back yard has plenty of room to start that vegetable garden. The snowmobile trail is about 100 yds away with super easy access. The Kennebec River bank is a short easy walk for fishing and relaxation. This property is just minutes to Anson Village and Madison for shopping.
