About This Home

As of October 2025

New Price - 3.7 Acres with River Frontage - $395,000

An outstanding opportunity to own the oldest home in Bethel, Maine — The Historic Josiah Bean Farm (Circa 1780). This beautifully preserved 18th-century farmhouse now sits on 3.7 acres with direct river frontage at a new price of $395,000.

Once the site of Dustin's Ferry, which carried travelers across the Androscoggin River in the late 1700s and early 1800s, this historic property blends rich heritage, natural beauty, and timeless New England character. With its river access, you'll enjoy fishing, kayaking, and canoeing, along with stunning mountain views in every season.

Historic features include:

Wide pine floors, original woodwork, and wainscoting

Authentic country kitchen with vintage slate sink

Elegant brick fireplaces in the dining and living rooms

A cozy den, three second-floor bedrooms, and a charming summer kitchen

Step outside to a screened porch overlooking open fields and the river — a perfect place to unwind. The landscaped lot includes flower gardens, a one-car garage, large attached shed, and extra storage outbuilding.

Modern updates include:

Whole-house backup generator

New roofs (6 years old)

Lined chimney

New septic field (2 years old)

Bordered by Mahoosuc Land Trust conservation land, the property ensures lasting privacy, abundant wildlife, and peaceful surroundings — all just 10 minutes from downtown Bethel and 17 minutes from Sunday River Ski Resort.

An outstanding opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind piece of Maine history.

Additional 3-acre adjoining parcel with 252± feet of river frontage also available for $495,000.
