MOTIVATED Sellers! Fifty acres, a historic home, 1,000 feet of river frontage, Bangor Loam soil (the best), and forest enough to supply your wood stove: self sufficiency comes with this property. The house features three bedrooms, a bonus room, a big dining room, and a kitchen with 3-inch thick, live-edge countertops. This Cape Cod-style home was moved to this location from a mile away more than 100 years ago, using oxen and rollers! An inscription on the granite foundation and many old photos attest to its history. Your privacy is assured, with a bog and Maine Conservation Land on one side, and the Main Stream of the Sebasticook River on the other. The river offers great kayaking, canoeing, fishing, and swimming, not to mention irrigation if you decide to farm. Hunting is great too. The current owners used the superior soils to grow garlic and other vegetables using only organic practices. They controlled the (plentiful!) deer by using the four-plot rotational method with one plot for clover and other cover crops that the deer preferred. Ripley is a food sovereign town, so a roadside stand with your goods is possible. Is it time for you to add your history to this homestead?
