A Riverfront Retreat with Timeless Character and Endless Potential.
As you drive onto this unique property, it's immediately clear—you've arrived somewhere truly special. Towering old-growth trees and storybook boulders line the landscape, creating a sense of peace and history. Step out of your vehicle, and the soothing sound of the Mousam River welcomes you. This enchanting setting may just stir memories of your favorite places—quiet, magical, and full of possibility.
The main home stands with pride, nestled in nature and filled with character. Though it shows signs of age, it radiates potential. Gorgeous woodwork is found throughout—some pristine, others in need of a little TLC. The summer room, with its stunning views of the river, is a highlight, offering the perfect spot to relax or entertain.
Over the attached two-car garage, a Grand Room awaits. Anchored by a grand fireplace with wood-burning stove insert and framed with graceful wood arches, this space is ideal for gatherings or creative transformation.
To the right of the main residence, a separate guest suite offers privacy and comfort. Featuring a first-floor bedroom, ¾ bath, spacious living area, and a charming sleeping loft, it's perfect for visitors. While not equipped with a full kitchen, it includes a vintage cast iron sink and cabinetry—ideal for preparing morning coffee or simple meals.
The adjacent buildable lot is included in the sale.
