This classic New Englander-style home combines small-town living, river frontage, and outstanding access to some of Maine's best outdoor recreation. Whether you're searching for a year-round residence, vacation getaway, or investment property, this property provides exceptional value in a scenic riverfront setting. Built around 1890, the home offers approximately 880 square feet of living space with three bedrooms and one bathroom. Heating options include oil-fired hot water baseboard heat, two heat pumps for efficient year-round comfort, and a wood stove for supplemental warmth during Maine's colder months. The property is served by a dug well and private septic system. A detached two-car garage provides space for vehicles, tools, outdoor gear, and recreational equipment. One of the property's most attractive features is its impressive river frontage. The land extends on both sides of River Road and includes more than 1,000 feet along the Mattawamkeag River. The river-side portion of the property offers potential for an additional waterfront building site, creating opportunities for future expansion, a guest cabin, or simply a private location to enjoy the sights and sounds of the river. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the property's location in the heart of northern Maine recreation country. The Mattawamkeag River drains a watershed of more than 1,500 square miles before joining the Penobscot River less than a mile from the property. Anglers, paddlers, and nature lovers will enjoy easy access to both waterways. For experienced kayakers, the challenging whitewater of Upper and Lower Gordon Falls is located just upstream. The surrounding region is known for its vast timberlands, much of which allows public recreational access for hunting, fishing, hiking, snowmobiling, ATV riding, and wildlife viewing.
