Presented for sale is a rare opportunity to own an Amish built home in Thorndike, Maine. The home is a 100' x 32' ranch building that has been split into a both 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home and several utility rooms; the living space within the home is measured at 2412 sq ft and includes a very spacious open plan living area. Being an Amish home there is no power throughout the property and all heating sources are wood/coal based, even the radiant heating. With some imagination and ingenuity the right person could convert the extra utility rooms in to living space, a 2 bedroom in-law apartment or even a separate dwelling. In addition to the main home are 2 large outbuildings. The first is an 80'x40' barn with open spaces, overhead storage, an additional 16' lean to and a total of 5 stable bays, there is also a fenced field off the rear. The second outbuilding is a 60'x36' heated metal building, previously used as a workshop, this could easily be used a 6 car garage, workshop or has the potential to be converted in to an additional residence. The sale includes 52.3 acres with approximately 7.25 acres of open field next to primary home, giving plenty of space for a private homestead and for anyone looking to hunt their own land. There are also mature fruit trees toward the front of the lot including apple and plum trees. So, if you're looking for a peaceful and spacious home; large acreage; outbuildings for animals or toys and no neighbors in sight from your home; then come and see this home and see if this is the one for you.
