This beautifully restored 1886 New England farmhouse and its newly (2008) re-constructed ell's living space with attached barn is a Maine treasure. The farmhouse has sitting rooms, office space and four-bedrooms with the modern two-story ell having the kitchen and primary bedroom down and two large bedrooms up. Each of the farmhouse rooms preserve the character of the original home; the rooms are bright, impeccable, and spacious. Located in Western Maine within the Mahoosuc Mountain Range and at the edge of Lake Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge the Upton House provides access to some of our Nation's most pristine woodlands, lakes, and mountains. For summer recreation the Upton House is just minutes from the southern shores of Lake Umbagog and a public boat launch, 15 minutes from Errol NH and the northern headwaters of the Androscoggin River and nearby Magalloway River access areas; and for great day hikes, its only 10 minutes to the Appalachian Trail and other famous trailheads. All creating a recreational destination of boating, kayaking, paddling, hiking, hunting, fishing, wildlife photography, and pristine birdwatching. Additionally, a very special draw for the property is the onsite connector trail for the extensive local winter snowmobile trail system. The property has more than adequate parking to accommodate all your toys for winter and summer recreation, all just 35 minutes north of Sunday River Ski Resort and Bethel Maine. Come for a visit to view the property... you may decide to stay awhile! The farmhouse and ell are being sold mostly furnished making this a move in ready opportunity.
