Classic new england characterRoom to growThree bedroomsRural settingSpace for gardens

Tucked away in Peru, this early 1800s farmhouse is the kind of project property buyers wait for offering classic New England character, a rural setting, and plenty of potential for the right renovation. Believed to date back to 1812, the home sits on approximately 1.6 acres and features a compact footprint with three bedrooms and one bath, making it an ideal candidate for a full remodel and reimagining. The property benefits from an updated drilled well and an updated septic system, providing a strong head start on major infrastructure items. Whether you're looking to restore the charm of a vintage farmhouse, create a simple country retreat, or take on an investment rehab project, this property offers a solid foundation and room to grow with space for gardens, outbuildings, or future improvements. Being sold as-is, this is a great opportunity for buyers ready to bring their vision and craftsmanship to revive a piece of Maine's history.
