About This Home

As of August 2021

PENDING BUT ACTIVELY ENCOURAGING SHOWINGS/BACK-UP OFFERS! 'Stepping Stone Farm'' is a charming antique cape that has been lovingly maintained through the years. This is for the true New England cape aficionado with its beamed ceilings, beautiful fireplaces, old doors and thumb latch hardware. Like many early capes, this is one floor living, with a series of ells added -true to the tradition of this architecture.
Set back from the road, it has a prominent presence as you turn into the driveway, and there is an ample front yard with ornamental gardens.
In the back there is a deck and a great backyard with a gardening plot all ready to till. Enjoy over 4 acres of land just a few miles outside Castine's picturesque village and with boating, golf, tennis and recreational opportunities.
There is an opportunity to make some cosmetic updates in kitchen and baths and to raise the value here. Systems are in good shape. This one is a beauty and won't last long at this price!
Attached garage is oversized to handle your gardening equipment or boat.
Deed listed as partial due to a ROW that was returned.

    Amazing waterfront opportunity for anyone who likes ''messing about in boats.'' Your choice, lift up with a new foundation and restore or rebuild. A certified shoreland engineer's expertise will be required in either case.Caution is advised in walking around the exterior of the property.
