Set in a private, wooded rural Saco setting, this spacious 1,954 square foot home offers a rare combination of space, privacy, and convenient location. Built in 1977, the home retains many of its original features and offers comfortable living today with plenty of opportunity to make it your own over time. With 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, it is well suited for buyers who value space, privacy, and a prime rural location. The expansive one-level layout provides living spaces centered around a classic wood-burning fireplace and a wood stove. The 0.92-acre lot delivers nearly a full acre surrounded by woods, offering excellent privacy in a country setting. Outside, the property offers plenty of useful space, including a screened porch for bug-free outdoor living, an oversized carport, and two separate outbuildings for tools, gear, hobbies, or workshop use. Location is a standout feature for outdoor enthusiasts, as the property sits just moments from the Thurston Mill / Nonesuch River trail system located directly on Watson Mill Road. This established public space offers wooded trails, river rapids, and a waterfall. Residents also enjoy easy proximity to numerous additional established trail systems, snowmobile trails, and the Saco River nearby. This property delivers a solid, spacious footprint in a prime recreational setting at a more approachable price point than newer or fully renovated Saco homes, offering the perfect canvas to bring your own updates over time.
