1850 traditional Maine farmhouse with ell on 36 beautifully managed acres of fields and mature woodlands bordering Stubbs Brook. This farm has been carefully maintained and modestly improved over the years to preserve its historic charm. The traditional farmhouse architecture includes an attached ell with firewood storage, mudroom, workshop and attached garage. A deck has been added overlooking the rolling fields to the west. Improvements to the home include insulation, 200 amp electric service, replacement windows, and an oil furnace to make this a comfortable year round home in an quiet neighborhood setting that offers privacy without isolation. Lifetime-warrantied (transferable) roof shingles were installed in 2019. The home was painted September 2020. The original 36 x 50 post and beam barn has a wood floor, 60 amp electric service and a partitioned workshop room with wood stove. An 18 x 36 equipment shed has been added adjacent to the barn for storage of tractor implements. The house overlooks 4.6 gently sloped acres of fields abutting Stubbs Brook, a small trout steam that borders the entire parcel. On it's southern boundary, sharing frontage on the brook and the road, the property includes an additional 2 acre parcel with a well and septic system already in place and ready to build. An accessible trail system for hiking, horseback riding, skiing or ATV's provides access to 28 acres of beautiful, carefully managed forest. As always, location is key to value. Bangor, shopping, hospitals, and I-95 are 20 minutes north. Historic downtown Bucksport, access to the world class sailing waters of Penobscot Bay and the road to Acadia National Park, just 6 miles south.
