Property Description
Discover the timeless appeal of a classic Maine farmhouse set amidst 8±
acres of rolling fields, woods, gardens, and 700+- feet of frontage on Martin
Stream. With its combination of historic character, productive land, abundant
gardens, fruit trees, and direct access to the water, this is a property that
invites you to slow down and enjoy the best of country living.
This 3-4 bedroom, 1.5 bath home retains the warmth and character that
make Maine farmhouses so special, including beautiful antique wood floors and
inviting, thoughtfully arranged living spaces. On the first floor, a rustic
eat-in kitchen provides the heart of the home, while a formal dining room
offers plenty of space for family gatherings. The comfortable living room
features a wood stove, creating a cozy retreat on cool Maine evenings. A
first-floor bedroom and separate office provide flexibility for guests, working
from home, or single-level living. Heat
pumps provide efficient cooling upstairs and down.
Upstairs, the home becomes a private retreat. The second bedroom is
joined by a beautiful bathroom featuring a large soaking tub, perfect for
unwinding after a day outdoors. The spacious primary bedroom opens to a balcony
overlooking the back field, offering a peaceful place to enjoy morning coffee,
evening meals for two, and the changing seasons.
Outside, the property truly comes into its own. The gently rolling
landscape includes open fields and woods, along with an impressive asparagus
garden and a vegetable garden currently utilized by a local farmer. Whether you
envision growing your own food, continuing the agricultural tradition, creating
additional gardens, or simply enjoying the open space, the land offers
possibilities rarely found so close to regional amenities. There is also a spring fed farm pond.
And then there is Martin Stream. With over 700+- feet of frontage, the
stream provides a beautiful natural boundary and an exceptional recreational
amenity. Bring a kayak to the water and explore the stream from your own
property, or simply sit beside the water and enjoy the sounds of nature. The
combination of open land, woodland, gardens, and waterfront creates a private
Maine landscape that changes beautifully throughout the year.
Despite its peaceful rural setting, the property is conveniently
positioned for exploring central and coastal Maine. Bangor is approximately
20–24 miles away, with Bangor International Airport approximately 24 miles
away; I-95 access at roughly 10 minutes
and Bangor International Airport at about 30 minutes. Belfast is approximately
21 miles away, providing easy access to the coast, while Camden is roughly 37
miles and Waterville about 28 miles from Dixmont. Boston is approximately
205–215 miles away, making this an accessible weekend destination from New
England while still feeling wonderfully removed from city life.
Nearby attractions and destinations include the coastal communities of
Belfast, Searsport, and Camden; the Penobscot River and Fort Knox/Penobscot
Narrows Observatory; hiking and outdoor recreation throughout the region; and
the many farms, orchards, and small communities that give this part of Maine
its distinctive character. Dixmont itself is home to local agricultural
destinations including Maine-ly Apples and other working farms.
For those seeking a genuine Maine property—with character, land, water,
gardens, and a connection to the agricultural landscape—298 North Road offers a
rare opportunity to make a classic farmhouse your own
