This charming New England Farmhouse, dating back to 1832, boasts 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, inviting you to step back in time while enjoying modern comforts. Nestled on a sprawling 18.5-acre lot with 785 feet of Penobscot River and Route 2 frontage, this home conveys a sense of tranquility and natural beauty. The property features a private well and septic for as well as a gray water pit for the kitchen sink, ensuring functionality in a rustic setting. The lot includes a paddock, pasture, and fields that are ready to be brought back to life with a little bushhogging and mowing. A well-placed beaver dam along the river creates a logan perfect for duck hunting, adding to the allure of the landscape. A small private pond, apple trees and tall grasses in the pasture, attract wildlife like deer, making it a haven for nature enthusiasts. The Penobscot River, a defining feature of the region, stretches 109 miles and offers spectacular smallmouth bass fishing in Lincoln. Adventurous souls can explore class 5 rapids further north, providing exhilarating whitewater rafting and kayaking experiences. Step into the antique farmhouse rich with history, showcasing unique features like a summer kitchen/pantry, a tin ceiling salvaged from the Lincoln Theater and many built-ins that take advantage of the nooks and crannies in the formal living room. There is also a parlor with a wood stove, the master bedroom, with walk-in closet and a charming glassed-in 3-season porch. Ascending to the upper floor, you'll find two cozy bedrooms, a central playroom, and a walk-in storage closet as well as the second bath.. The barn, a true relic of the past, stands as a testament to the property's age, providing ample space for storage and potential livestock accommodations.
