Rare opportunity to own a classic New England Farmhouse with 20+ acres of beautiful woodland that adjoins 80+ acres of conservation land with dedicated trails. Just step out your door for a peaceful walk in an enchanting forestland. Join the Ice Pond trail at several boundary points. Enjoy the year-round 3 bedroom/1 bath house or build your dream home, deep in the woods, in a quiet grove under a canopy of white birch, spruce, fir, or alder. The Farmhouse has many original features that include hand-hewn beams, wide-plank pine floors and other period accents. There have been recent updates plus previous replacement windows and roof repairs. The Kitchen and Dining area opens into a spacious Living Room with a pellet stove for an additional heat source. There is a Bedroom on the first floor plus two more upstairs. The Primary Bedroom is roomy with its own wood stove. There is a multi-use alcove, as part of this bedroom, that could be a great office or double walk-in closet. Besides the other 2nd floor bedroom there is a large unfinished apartment floor plan with a bedroom, living room, and bathroom space. At one time there were stairs from the entry mudroom that led up to this privately contained living space. It needs renovation and completion of the plumbing hook-ups. There is a terrific full house attic space with high ceilings that could be finished off for a creative use. The landscaped yard offers many varieties of fruit trees with an enclosed, quite large, vegetable garden area to the side of the house. The house is move-in ready with partial furnishings. Another bonus opportunity, with this location, is the multi-use zoning that allows for a commercial venture on this highly desirable RT 1 corridor. Join the other existing business ventures in Hancock including two fine-dining restaurants, cabinet shops, a landscaping/garden center, assisted living facilities and a B&B. Close to both the Schoodic side of Acadia National Park or a short drive to Bar Harbor.
