Historic 1780 Farmstead on 5 Beautiful Acres - Prime Location Near Freeport
Opportunity awaits on this rare 5-acre flat and picturesque parcel just 5 minutes from the heart of Freeport Village. The current home sits very close to the road, however, the entire parcel is suitable for a building site creating the perfect layout for a home to sit back off the road and be surrounded by open sky and rural charm. This property offers the perfect canvas for your next chapter.
The circa 1780 farmhouse is in tear-down condition, creating a unique chance to reimagine the site while honoring its rich history. A historic barn and additional outbuildings also remain on the property, offering character, storage, or potential for creative repurposing, if they are preserved.
Whether you're dreaming of a custom-built home, a modern farmhouse retreat, or a small hobby farm, the level land and generous acreage provide endless possibilities. Enjoy the peace of country living with the convenience of nearby shops, dining, and coastal amenities.
Bring your vision and make it your own — or let me connect you with one of my trusted local builders to help bring your plans to life.
A truly special setting where history, location, and opportunity meet.
