Realtor Comments

Imagine coming home to your new home, a Maine fixer upper farmhouse, driving along Back Ridge Road and spotting deer along this dirt road.  Cameras have spotted deer, turkeys, fox, raccoons, rabbits, fisher, hawks, eagles and more all on this property. Are you looking to homestead? There’s a large fenced in garden area waiting for you to put it back in production. In addition to the 3 bedroom, 1 bath home, there are attached sheds and a woodworking shop. Plenty of room for hobbies and storage. Possibly turn some of this space into a garage. Possible Airbnb space or guest house when the family visits. The home heats with wood and pellet stoves. Oil furnace in basement has not been in use and may need to be replaced. There are two outbuildings that could be refurbished. Needs septic system. 15 minutes to Canadian border and just 5 miles to shopping, services and I-95. This property needs work and imagination to live up to its full potential. Great spot to live year ’round or seasonal get away! BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. PLEASE DO NOT ENTER PROPERTY UNACCOMPANIED BY REAL ESTATE AGENT. Cash buyers only!
