This beautifully restored 1799 post and beam residence, once known as the Old Buxton Tavern, offers a unique blend of historical charm and modern updates. Nestled by the scenic Saco River and just steps away from Salmon Falls, Point Pleasant Park, and Indian Cellar Preserve, this home is a true gem for history enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.

Come see the magic for yourself!
