Remodeled in the 1980's, including walls, dustpan, kitchen, sunroom, attached garage w/apartment, mud-room, wiring, windows and more awaiting a buyer to update and enjoy. Sits high and well back from the road. Pastoral views of hayfields and seasonal distant hill views. Apartment is due for a bit of attention and could provide potential income as could the detached 2 car garage/shop and the 220 x 40 3-story barn (sound but deferred maintenance). 3 parcels being sold as 1 package! Tremendous potential for development, homesteading, animals, horses, dogs, raising munchkins, hiking, catching fish in Pratts Brooks even harvesting your own firewood. Close to Bangor and to the historic and evolving downtown Bucksport which sits on the banks of the Penobscot offering deep water and recreational activities ... gateway to Belfast/ Camden and to Bar Harbor/ Acadia.
