Wesley ME..2 acre open lot that used to be a pretty good blueberry field, with a ranch style home. The house has a new steel roof but the rest will need to be redone. Open concept kitchen/living room with a lot of cabinet space. 3 bedrooms and a full bath. Built around 1940, other than the new roof, it has had very little upkeep and it shows. Gut it and make it your own, or take it down and build your new home. Wesley is a small town of about 130 people. This house is located about 20 miles from Machias, 30 from Calais and about 70 from Bangor, making it a pretty easy to get to anywhere from location. With a population of about 122, the town of Wesley may be small, but its large in land size at 50.64 square miles with only 2 main roads passing through. (Rt 9 and Rt 192) The Airline and Jr Williams Road. We have more stop signs on 4-wheeler trails here than main roads. Wesley was incorporated January 24th 1833 and named for John Wesley who was the leader of the English Methodist Movement. The area is rich in history with the 'Airline' being an old stage route running from Bangor to Calais, it was also called the Wolf Route due to a famous tin type photo put out to try and get people to be afraid to run Rt 9 due to wolfs attacking the stage, this was done from people with businesses on the coastal route to try and keep the early traffic coming that way. Wesley is well known for its wild blueberries and the production of those in August comes before everything else. It's a fast moving quick season and its all about the berries! The area was well known for its logging history, there were many woods camps for that along with sawmills and river drives on the Machias River. There were books written about some of the local legendary hunters and poachers as well, such as Wilber Day and George Magoon. The town has a wonderful little historical society based in the old Wesley Corner School on Rt 9.
