Bring your vision to this extraordinary 2 parcel 95 acre property in Van Buren. Overlooking Canada this former family farm has been vacant for decades and is looking for its new owner to bring it back to life. The home itself is still standing and will require a teardown. The well and septic have not been inspected. There is power located at the property. The town map identifies the 2 parcels. The property is unsurveyed and does not have any current outlines that have been identified. The property does go beyond the fields into the tree lines on the house portion. Bring your vision for this exceptionally beautiful piece of Northern Maine land and reinvent it, build on it or bring it back to a farm as it once was. Opportunity on this property abounds.
