Welcome to 46 Buffum Road in Wells—a distinctive two-unit property offering exceptional flexibility for investors, developers, second-home seekers, or full-time residents. Situated on a recently surveyed 1.86-acre lot spanning both the General Business and Residential A districts, this rare opportunity features two separate, stand-alone residential units.
The main farmhouse, originally built in the 1800s, offers 1,992 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Notable features include a generous mudroom entry, an inviting breakfast nook and living area centered around a striking stone wood-burning fireplace, a bright sunroom, formal dining room, and a galley-style kitchen with ample cabinetry. A spacious first-floor primary suite includes a full bath and walk-in closet, while an office, laundry area, and second full bath complete the main level. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms and a third full bath.
The charming 1-bedroom, 1-bath cottage—dating to the early 1900s and recently remodeled—provides 884 square feet with a galley kitchen, expansive living room, dining area, and laundry. Each unit features fully separate utilities, including electric, public water, public sewer, heating systems, water heaters, and laundry, with all appliances conveying.
The grounds offer open fields bordered by mature trees, along with multiple outbuildings for storage, including a detached two-car garage/barn, several sheds, and the whimsical ''Kippy Kottage.'' Located just up the road from Webhannet Falls and approximately 1.5 miles from the sandy shoreline of Wells Beach, this serene setting offers privacy without sacrificing proximity to restaurants, shopping, schools, and all that the Southern Maine coast has to offer. The property has been recently inspected, and the full inspection report is available for review upon request. A truly unique property with endless possibilities—schedule your private showing today.
