This classic New Englander-style home combines<br \/>\nsmall-town living, river frontage, and outstanding access to some of Maine&#8217;s<br \/>\nbest outdoor recreation. Whether you&#8217;re searching for a year-round residence,<br \/>\nvacation getaway, or investment property, this property provides exceptional<br \/>\nvalue in a scenic riverfront setting. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Built around 1890, the home offers approximately 880 square<br \/>\nfeet of living space with three bedrooms and one bathroom. Heating options<br \/>\ninclude oil-fired hot water baseboard heat, two heat pumps for efficient<br \/>\nyear-round comfort, and a wood stove for supplemental warmth during Maine&#8217;s<br \/>\ncolder months.

The land extends on both sides of River Road and<br \/>\nincludes more than 1,000 feet along the Mattawamkeag River. The river-side<br \/>\nportion of the property offers potential for an additional waterfront building<br \/>\nsite, creating opportunities for future expansion, a guest cabin, or simply a<br \/>\nprivate location to enjoy the sights and sounds of the river. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the property&#8217;s location<br \/>\nin the heart of northern Maine recreation country.

Anglers, paddlers, and nature lovers<br \/>\nwill enjoy easy access to both waterways. For experienced kayakers, the<br \/>\nchallenging whitewater of Upper and Lower Gordon Falls is located just<br \/>\nupstream. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The surrounding region is known for its vast timberlands,<br \/>\nmuch of which allows public recreational access for hunting, fishing, hiking,<br \/>\nsnowmobiling, ATV riding, and wildlife viewing. Baxter State Park, encompassing<br \/>\nmore than 209,000 acres and home to Mount Katahdin, Maine&#8217;s highest peak, is<br \/>\nless than an hour away. The park offers world-class hiking, backcountry<br \/>\ncamping, pristine lakes, and some of the most spectacular scenery in the<br \/>\nNortheast. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Despite its rural setting, everyday conveniences remain<br \/>\nwithin easy reach. Lincoln is only 14 miles away, Millinocket approximately 22<br \/>\nmiles away, and Bangor can be reached in about an hour. Portland and Boston are<br \/>\nalso accessible for weekend trips or travel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">48 River Road presents a rare opportunity to own a<br \/>\nriverfront home with extensive frontage, recreational access, and room for<br \/>\nfuture possibilities at an affordable price point.<\/p>\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\n<p><!--Features--><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 1000px;\">\n<p><strong>PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<table class=\"prop_table\" style=\"width: 1000px; ,border: 0px #fff;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><i class=\"fa fa-check\"> <\/i>Maine Home for Sale<\/td>\n<td><i class=\"fa fa-check\"> <\/i>Large Garage<\/td>\n<td><i class=\"fa fa-check\"> <\/i>Gardens<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><i class=\"fa fa-check\"> <\/i>River front property<\/td>\n<td><i class=\"fa fa-check\"> <\/i>Screen Porch\/Sunroom<\/td>\n<td><i class=\"fa fa-check\"> <\/i>Apple Trees<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><i class=\"fa fa-check\"> <\/i>3 Bedrooms<\/td>\n<td><i class=\"fa fa-check\"> <\/i>Mattawamkeag River<\/td>\n<td><i class=\"fa fa-check\"> <\/i>Country Homes<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover an affordable waterfront opportunity at 48 River Road in Mattawamkeag, Maine.
