About this House

Magical estate offered in the center of Bristol champions 35 acres of rolling meadows and hay fields, hardwood glens, and a beautiful marshland to the east. Enjoy private access to pristine Biscay Pond, a swimming and fishing and small boating paradise among all the salty mid-coast adventuring. Whether you are looking to homestead, farm, or further improve this horse property, there is so much to love here. First, the land is unparalleled in its beauty, accessibility, and functionality. Second, the turn of the century farmhouse exudes so much character with decorative period elements, solid structure, and many updates, including heating and cooling with a recent heat pump, and an automatic generator! Enjoy a full horse barn with stalls, hayloft, and drive-in capacity or convert to whatever vision you might have! Finally, the access to Biscay Pond is closely held, and rarely used by others. It features a small beach area at the end of an old carriage road -- great for swimming and setting on in a canoe -- or keep a mooring for your larger boat. Also included is a small lot across the street from the home with a two car garage and additional storage space for boats or hay, etc. Much work here, but many rewards, too. A hot water baseboard heating system is here and requires some work or perhaps new boiler parts in order to fire up again. Status of plumbing is uncertain after a vacant winter; some roof leaks have caused a bit of mildew in places. No appliances, but don't let the details get in the way of your idyllic homesite or that renovation you have been longing for...offered in As-Is condition. Contents of garage not included. Contents of barn and home convey. Property will not support a conventional loan. Land loans or construction loans or cash. Private road to pond is the northerly boundary of the subject property. Fogler is the southern boundary, Benner is the western bound. And the east boundary runs through a wetland / stream.

    "We stayed here each summer when I was younger. This home is one in a million from the view, location, scenery, the walk on the rocks below and the secrets this home holds. I have always hoped to one day return again. "

    "Bristol is just my favorite coastal area in Maine there are lots of great coastal attractions including the Pemaquid Light House. which is in the neighborhood that this fine cottage is located in. Bristol is on the Pemaquid Peninsula just south of Damariscotta. From Bristol you can enjoy small town living with the convenience of all that Damariscotta has to offer. "
