Description

This classic farmhouse is sited on an exceptional 8 acre parcel with approximately 400' of tidal waterfront on Back River. This sizeable parcel is rare and lends itself to a private estate or future division. The farmhouse is solid and has classic lines and although it was cared for, it awaits updates. 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, an attached barn and a 2 car garage are intriguing to any old house enthusiast. The land allows for a gentle walk to the shore through a beautiful forest of mostly hardwoods and rolling terrain. This unique parcel has ample opportunities and is truly a quintessential Maine property.

    "I don't have any dogs so not sure but many neighbors do and dogs seem happy and plenty of areas to walk. no dog parks though. "
  • Dana
    "I've vacationed here several times in the past 35 years and also know a family who lives here. It is quite a safe area with a unique charm. Traffic can get heavy during tourist season, but it's usually fairly manageable. It close enough to some larger cities so you don't feel completely disconnected. "
  • Dana
    "My family vacationed here and stayed in a local house. The area if very family oriented, and seems quite safe. You can walk to a local store and a mall and supermarket are about a 5 minute drive. There are several parks within 20-30 minutes away, and even more within an hours drive. Boothbay Harbor is only about 10-15 minutes away by car. Everyone we met was friendly and more than willing to help out."

    "I am a summer owner with a cottage on Lake Knickerbocker less than a mile from salt water in Boothbay, ME. As a retiree who has spent time in the area each summer for over 50 years and now enjoys over 3 months each summer, I can attest to the attractive vacation atmosphere and small-town life. Because it is a highly desirable and busy summer vacation destination on the Maine coast, dining and summer recreation opportunities are outstanding. In addition, with a large 12-month retiree community, the YMCA and school system activities provide a wide array of fall, winter, and spring arts and athletic opportunities enjoyed by all ages. An active Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club and outstanding semi-private Boothbay Country Club also provide additional activity for the so-inclined. "
