Cozy 2-bedroom ranch home! Located on 43 to total acres! The original house lot was 2 acres. The remaining 41 acres is part of an old homestead and there is an old farmhouse on the comer lot that needs to be torn down. Possibly used for building materials? Over 3000 combined paved road frontage between Route One and the Number Nine Rd combined! No Close neighbors and no one across the road make this a private location. Detached 2 bay garage that fits 4 cars comfortably with 2 additional storage rooms attached. New shingles in 2019. 1-2 bedroom. I've been using the second room as a big walk-in closet but could be used as a second small bedroom. Laundry room. A 12 x 16 shed, 4 years old near garden. Many apple trees, plum tree, strawberry and asparagus patches, large patches of blackberry bushes, a few high bush blueberry bushes, and an existing fenced-in garden plot. Trees on property haven't been harvested for over 35 years. The large house was originally a farmhouse but is now only fit for the birds. Minutes from Scenic views and highway, East Grand Lake Maine's 3rd largest lake renowned for its salmon and Lake Trout fishing, Brackett Lake, Deering Lake, and North Lake also. Lots of wildlife hike or hunt your own property or enjoy the thousands of acres of commercial forest land to the west mostly open to access. Recreational paradise easy access to ATV and snowmobile trails also. What's your plan? this could be your subsistence homestead or your recreational getaway! Just 30 minutes to Houlton for additional shopping or services! One hour and 20 minutes to Bangor to a commercial airport.
