About This Home

Welcome to the George Cox House, built circa 1855 and steeped in rich local history. Once part of a bustling 18th- and 19th-century mill site that provided flour to the Continental Army, this is one of Portland's most picturesque and storied locations. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers original wide plank floors, exposed beams, and stone walls. It needs some work, but the charm and bones are undeniable. A large 3-season sunroom and deck overlook the tranquil brook and waterfall, where you'll hear the soothing sound of the waterfall year-round-a peaceful soundtrack to your mornings and evenings. On the grounds, you'll find not just one, but two incredible outbuildings: a two-story 18x29 red barn with additional storage on the 2nd level, and an additional 30x20 workshop with power - ideal for hobbies, storage, or creative use. Set in a peaceful yet central location, close to parks, golf courses, and town amenities, this is your chance to own a piece of Portland's legacy. Bring your vision and breathe new life into this historic homestead!
