Nestled on a sprawling 7.2 acre piece of land, this charming farmhouse offers a picturesque retreat with abundant potential. While the property is in need of some renovation, its classic appeal and prime location make it a gem waiting to shine.
The farmhouse boasts four spacious bedrooms, providing ample room for family and guests. Each room is filled with natural light and scenic views of the surrounding landscape.
The heart of the home is the welcoming 1st floor living space. A spacious kitchen, living room, and den (or dining room) make the first floor perfect for relaxing after a day spent on the nearby trails!
Outside, the property extends to a serene 150 feet of waterfront along the gentle Madawaska Stream. The tranquil waters offer opportunities for fishing, birding, fiddle-heading, or simply enjoying the peaceful sounds of nature. The land surrounding the farmhouse is ripe for gardening, farming, or creating your own outdoor paradise. Chickens welcome!
With a bit of work, this farmhouse has the potential to become a cozy country retreat, blending rustic charm with modern comforts. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence or a weekend escape, this property offers a unique opportunity to create a personalized retreat in a beautiful setting.
