Nestled in the heart of China, Maine, 257 Pleasant View Ridge Rd combines historic character with modern agricultural facilities. The centerpiece is a remodeled barn, originally built in 1800 and updated after its purchase in 1996. Designed to accommodate up to 400 head of cattle, it also offers potential as a horse farm. Supporting structures include a 30' x 40' commercial steel garage, a 30' x 30' Quonset hut, and a double-six herringbone milking parlor with covered holding area, added in 2008. Two silos, with precast walls and paved floors, were built in 2013, enhancing storage and efficiency for farm operations. The land spans 94 acres on a single deed, with 46 acres of open fields for hay or pasture and 48 acres of woodland featuring ATV paths, and horse trails. Two heavy-use areas improve functionality: one with a Quonset hut and 170-foot fence line feeder, the other behind the barn with its own feeder and manure storage. A large 170' x 100' manure facility with precast walls further supports the farm's livestock capacity and environmental management. Beyond agriculture, the property offers excellent recreational opportunities. A hunting camp sits beside a stream, paired with a 10' x 10' elevated platform for hunting deer, turkey, and birds. The woodland acreage provides year-round enjoyment for hiking, ATV riding, and horseback adventures, making the property versatile for both work and play. A 16' x 16' generator building houses a 25 kW self-contained diesel generator for backup power. The main house offers 2,058 sq. ft. of living space with 5 bedrooms and 2 baths on its own 2 acre lot. The first floor features a primary suite, updated bath, laundry, kitchen/dining and living rooms. Upstairs are four bedrooms with new hardwood floors, a carpeted hall, and a walk-in attic ready to finish. Outdoor features a new composite deck, fenced backyard with patio. Located only 15 minutes to Waterville or Augusta and 2 minutes to China Lake.
