Description
Are you dreaming of a self-sufficient country
lifestyle—somewhere peaceful and private, but still within easy reach of town
services? Welcome to 379 West Old Main Road in Lowell, Maine, a property that
offers just that. This ranch-style home sits on 10± beautiful acres, blending
open fields, productive berry plantings, and a backdrop of mixed Maine
forest—an ideal setting for anyone looking to homestead, garden, or simply live
more independently.
The property features approximately 2.7 acres of open fields
with Howland and Plaisted gravely loam soils, well suited for crops and
gardens. The remaining land is timbered with Monarda and Burnham soils,
offering both privacy and potential for firewood or small-scale forestry.
Lining the fields are rows of high-bush blueberries and cultivated raspberries,
enough to enjoy fresh or even launch a small commercial berry operation. With
500± feet of road frontage, this land offers easy access while maintaining a
tucked-away country feel.
The 1,450± square-foot ranch home features two bedrooms and
one bath, a spacious living room with a wood stove, and an inviting deck to
enjoy views of your land. Heating is provided by both oil hot-water baseboard
and wood, giving you flexibility and self-reliance during Maine’s winters. A
6,500-watt generator ensures you’re ready for anything, while an attached wood
shed keeps firewood dry and accessible.
Outbuildings include a 30′ x 30′ garage with a 12′ x 30′
carport—previously used as a sugar shack—plus a 10′ x 30′ tractor shed,
additional storage sheds, and even a greenhouse to extend your growing season.
Recreation and natural beauty surround you here: Cold Stream
Pond, a 3,600-acre crystal-clear lake, is just 4 miles away. The Passadumkeag
River and Nicatous Lake conservation area offer miles of wilderness
exploration, and ATV and snowmobile trails are nearby for four-season fun.
Located just 12.5 miles from Lincoln, you’ll find groceries,
restaurants, and a hospital within 20 minutes, while Bangor is about 45 minutes
away for major medical, air travel, and entertainment.
This property is a rare opportunity to enjoy modern comfort,
productive land, and Maine’s peaceful rural lifestyle—all in one beautiful
package.
