Step into this beautifully renewed 1870 farmhouse set on more than 7 acres, with workable land and rare frontage on the historic Penobscot River. Enjoy sweeping river views, a natural boat launch, and the chance to pick your own fiddleheads each spring. With open fields and multiple outbuildings, this property is ideal for livestock, gardening, or small-scale farming.
The henhouse offers electricity, year-round water, and a fenced yard. A large garden shed provides storage for equipment, hay, feed, or recreational gear. Additional outbuildings, including a tractor barn and an insulated utility shed, expand your options even further.
Inside, the home has been completely renovated with meticulous care and craftsmanship. Walls and ceilings were taken to the studs, wiring and plumbing replaced, walls and attic insulated, floors refinished or upgraded, and fresh drywall and paint added throughout. The kitchen was fully remodeled and features an antique ''Kineo C'' cookstove--perfect for warming up after a cold day, with the aroma of bread or stew filling the home. High ceilings and abundant natural light create a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
Both bathrooms were fully updated, and a working summer kitchen offers a dedicated space for canning and processing garden harvests. Additional improvements include a new service entrance panel, basement drainage and repairs, a concrete floor, and a new water softener and filtration system. The restored staircase and hallway add classic charm, while the spacious bedrooms and large second-floor family room provide flexible living space.
The heated, insulated garage includes 220-volt power, year-round water, and a rear tool room--an excellent workshop with room for a vehicle. This rare farmette blends historic character with modern comfort, offering land to roam, a river to enjoy, and a truly turn-key farmhouse ready for its next chapter.
