875 Mullen RoadStetson, ME 04488Sale Price: $225,000

The Stetson Farm and Forest was originally part of a much larger working dairy and woodlot operation until about 30 years ago. Now these 95 acres are ready for the energy of the next generation hopefully to be appreciated for the diverse beauty of the native grass pastures and wildlife sharing the forest and bog. While many large parcels are turning into subdivisions in Central Maine, it would be a joy for this sanctuary to remain in sustainable agriculture such as pastured livestock, vegetable production, mushroom cultivation, native plant propagation and sales. Someone talented in crafts could find a treasure trove of ideas while exploring the deep woods. Many past guests comment on how restorative it felt simply walking the half mile around the back-field hay pastures on the mowed walking path following along the edge of the forest. Agri-tourism would defiantly find a niche here with the location between Bangor and Augusta on State Highway 222. Perfect location for farm stand, CSA, or even a rural B&B. There are two manufactured homes on the property; The first, a 2003 (24x44) Fleetwood on cement slab with tie downs, attached insulated 12x44 sun room with views south over the fenced pastures, as entry and relaxation space. The six full sized picture windows are warranted by Home Depot, even to the next owners! The passive solar gain is outstanding during the coldest winter days. Also attached is a three-bay carport semi enclosed for two large vehicle parking, storage and workspace. The second, a 1993 Liberty 14x76 on cement slab with tie-downs, attached 14x45 semi enclosed carport with 10-foot-wide automatic garage door for the winter snow. Both homes have 3 bedroom 2 full bath each. Equipment to convey:Dr lawn and leaf rake, Husquvarna 42-inch mower and snow thrower, 2013 Polaris Rancher 450 four-wheeler, Dr Rapid Fire log splitter, and other tools. This is not a property you'll want to let pass you by!
