About This Home

As of July 2025

This 1906 Victorian farmhouse invites you to embrace its historic elegance while enjoying modern conveniences on a sprawling seven-acre property. Nestled alongside Upper Spec Pond with 600' of owned waterfront this property extends to both sides of the road and is perfect for fishing or canoeing! This 3-bedroom, 1-bath home features stunning maple floors, vinyl windows, and durable siding, along with a solid roof to ensure longevity. Currently, the front rooms serve as a country store and mail-order business, but the adaptable layout means you can easily transform these areas back to their original residential purpose with minimal effort. The home includes essential upgrades such as updated electrical systems and a professionally insulated basement, walls, and attic for enhanced peace of mind. One of the standout features is the impressive 40' by 40' four-story barn, crafted from hand-hewn, hand-cut timber. In excellent condition, this versatile space is currently used for woodworking and lumber storage, but it also offers endless possibilities for hobbies, storage, or even animals—perfect for horse enthusiasts looking to make the most of the gorgeous acreage.
As you explore the property, you'll discover lush landscapes filled with mature trees, vibrant perennials, and established garden spots. Don't forget to take a moment to relax on the inviting front porch, breathe in the fresh air, and enjoy the beautiful water and mountain views. This property offers the idyllic blend of country charm and limitless potential— what a place to call home!
