Description
Historic Farmhouse on 12.8 Acres with 761' of Water Frontage on the Eastern River
Set on 12.8 peaceful acres along the scenic Eastern River, this rare property boasts 761 feet of private water frontage in a truly idyllic setting. The 2,400 sq ft, 5-bedroom, 1.5-bath farmhouse—built in the mid-1800s—offers timeless New England charm and character, now awaiting a visionary to restore and reimagine.
Adding to the property's appeal is a classic post and beam barn, rich with history and full of potential—perfect for storage or workshop space. The home requires renovations, including a new septic system and heating.
Whether you're dreaming of a tranquil riverfront estate, a working farmstead, or a smart investment property, the possibilities here are substantial. The lot may be sub-dividable (buyer to confirm), offering added flexibility and opportunity for return on investment.
With its rare combination of acreage, water frontage, and development potential, this property is ideal for investors, builders, or anyone seeking to create a truly special place in a serene, natural landscape. Don't miss your chance to bring new life to this historic gem.
