Tucked away on 5.75 private acres in the quiet town of Garland, this charming 2-bedroom, 2-full bath log-sided home/camp offers a wonderful blend of rustic character and recent improvements. A trail leads from the property into the surrounding woods, perfect for exploring, recreation, or simply enjoying Maine's natural beauty.
Recent updates include a bright red metal roof installed in 2024 and newer windows added approximately three years ago, bringing in abundant natural light. The second full bathroom is nearly complete and features a beautifully tiled walk-in shower. Set on post-and-pillar construction, the home also offers the rare advantage of two drilled wells—one currently servicing the home and a second in place for a future garage or outbuilding.
With a bit of TLC and elbow grease, this property has excellent potential to become a comfortable year-round residence or a classic Maine camp retreat. A peaceful setting, acreage, and key upgrades already in place make this a great opportunity for those looking to add their own finishing touches and build equity. Being sold AS-IS
