Description

The classic New England homestead you've been waiting for has just been listed for sale, offering a slice of historic rural Maine in a post and beam colonial built circa 1796 and sited on 9.44 acres of fields and woods. Many of the original features have been lovingly preserved.... pumpkin pine wide board flooring, Indian shutters, exposed beams, beehive oven and a massive brick arch in the basement that supports the main chimney for the five original fireplaces. Added to this charm are recent renovations including upgraded kitchen, freshly painted exterior, Andersen replacement windows throughout, new roof shingles in 2015, new 4- bedroom leach field in 2013 and two lined chimneys for Jotul wood stoves. There's even a finished room tucked away in the attic for an office, playroom, or bunk room in the summer. The land offers 2+/- acres with a seasonal pond all enclosed with panel fencing, and 7+/- acres of woodlot where the current owners have blazed many hiking trails and hand-built footbridges over the winding brook. There are over 35 native species of trees and shrubs, including sugar maples, oak, peach and shagbark hickories, high and low bush blueberries, raspberries, elderberries and asparagus patches on the land that was certified organic in 2020 by MOFGA and farmed organically since 2013. Come picture yourself this summer on the screened porch and deck in this beautiful country oasis all within commuting distance to the Jetport, Amtrak, beaches, Costco and all that Portland has to offer. Possibility of enough frontage and acreage for a buildable flagpole lot or accessory dwelling unit. Welcome home!

    "Nothing really. I don’t think there’s much of a neighborhood on Route 112. The cars go too fast on my 25mph stretch. They think it’s a drag race strip. "

    "I have lived in Buxton and worked in Portland for 10 years. It is the EASIEST commute, and takes the same 25 minutes it used to take me when I actually LIVED in Portland and had to deal with traffic. (We now live 14 miles from the Portland line) I love living in the country, feeling safe in my community, and what began as "neighbors" are now "extended family." We were amazed that we could purchase an 11-room farmhouse, huge attached barn, and 2-car garage FOR THE SAME PRICE as what we had sold our tiny Portland cape for. Lower taxes, neighbors who are available 24/7, a terrific school system, and being surrounded by beautiful farmland... all while being so close to Portland. When this information becomes more publicized, I would not be surprised to see house prices rise here. We easily learned about wells and septic systems, and they have proven to be an asset instead of a hindrance. Buxton is a kid-friendly place, with ball fields, streams for fishing, summer programs, wonderful small libraries, as well as lots of roads to safely ride bikes. Pick all the wild blackberries you want...they grow wild just about everywhere! I guess I'd better stop. I could go on and on. But you get the idea. Lower prices on houses, lower taxes, schools with teachers who would do anything for their students, and take your pick of Saturday night bean suppahs! Please consider being our neighbor!"
