Description

Crawford Maine:  Opportunities……what could you do with this property? This mostly wooded 38.9 acre surveyed lot could be your perfect homestead!  There is 325 feet of road front with this lot, then it widens out to about 600’ reaching back about a ½ mile in depth.  Current owner has a small one room camp on the property and a small rough “apartment” attached to one garage. These are camps, with no inside plumbing. The property has multiple outbuildings, closest to the road is the original “saw mill” building, and the owner would sell the mill privately, this is a post a beam building 33 x 37, it has also been used as a barn and for storage.  The garage is 20 x 40 with a 10’ wide addition off one side that houses the apartment.   The newer garage in the back is about 24 x 70 built on a slab with a full loft, garage doors on 2 sides and 2 sets in the back one set for trucks, this garage was being set up for growing several types of mushrooms.  There is also a nice sized green house that was set up to produce 200 heads of lettuce hydroponically. The water source comes from a natural spring and/or a hand dug 16’ well.  Currently there is about an acre that could easily make garden area with more that could be made ready with some work.  The woodland has had some timber cut and hauled with a horse. Current owner is willing to help to understand his systems and how to set up and run the green houses and the hydroponic systems he has in place.
