What's special

Three 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.
