Nestled at the base of the East Machias River, this 1856 Cape comes with an abundance of character and has been lovingly cared for and maintained. How many properties can boast that it has only been in two families? Its historic details are present everywhere from its trims to wooden floors, doors, and the warming smell of wood heat. The big red barn is slightly older, built in 1855 and it compliments this picturesque spot. Morning light floods this home and the views of the simmering river are spectacular. Lining the river are our rails to trails that have easy access to walk, bike, ride, roll, or traverse your way around our beautiful Maine and catch sights of our varied wildlife. For the love of old homes and nostalgia, this four-bedroom two and a half bath is looking for its third steward who would need to address some areas of the foundation in the near future.
This home sits on about 7.21 acres but has no power or water to it. There is no basement. There is a drilled well but not connected to either building. There is another building on this property and it has not been finished. This would make a great project for anyone who likes to build places.
