279 Meadow Brook Road, New Portland, ME 04961
What's special
This cozy 3-bedroom farmhouse is only 30 minutes south of Sugarloaf ski resort and is nestled on a scenic 2-acre lot. There's historic charm and character throughout the home, and the pastoral backyard includes a big apple tree, fields and a stream. Downstairs includes two living areas, a kitchen, a dining room, laundry and a half bath, while upstairs offers a full bathroom and three bedrooms, including a spacious primary with multiple closets. The expansive wrap-around porch has great potential and room for multiple outdoor seating areas. The oversized detached 2-car garage was built in 1999 and includes significant unfinished storage space above, perfect for gear and equipment. All just 5 minutes from Diadema Golf Club and 10 minutes to multiple landmarks and amenities including the Embden Pond public boat launch, the famed Wire Bridge, and downtown Kingfield. This four season recreation area is also great for snowmobiling, fishing, hunting, and hiking. Head north 30 minutes to paddle Flagstaff Lake or hop on the Appalachian Trail to hike the Bigelows, and whitewater rafting in the Forks is only an hour north. This is the perfect spot for a first-time homebuyer or as a home base to explore the great Maine outdoors.
