About this House

Totaling approximately 133 acres in the heart of Buxton, this remarkable property offers open fields, mature woodlands, exceptional privacy, and significant long-term potential. Held by the same family since 1977, the land has been carefully maintained, with expansive fields, established tree lines, and an extraordinary sense of space. The property can be divided into two distinct components: 127+/- acres with residential development potential and an approximately 5+/- acre parcel improved with a three bedroom Cape style home. A subdivision concept has been prepared for the larger parcel, illustrating the potential for a 23 lot cluster subdivision and presenting a compelling opportunity for future residential development. Set well back from the road at the end of a long paved drive, the home was built in 2004 and enjoys peaceful views across its private setting. The interior features hardwood floors, a kitchen with gas range, formal dining room, first-floor bedroom, dedicated office, three-season sunroom, central vacuum, walk-out basement, and an attached two car garage. A collection of barns and outbuildings, offered as-is, provides the opportunity for renovation to create additional storage, workshop, or equipment space, or for removal to create more open land. Just 35 minutes from Portland, 701 River Road represents one of Buxton's most significant land offerings, equally suited for those seeking a private estate, a long-term investment, or the opportunity to thoughtfully shape the property's next chapter.

    "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!"
