Quiet Country Home

Description

Country home on 210-acre lot in the heart of Plymouth, ME. This 1990 cape style home features 3-bedrooms, 2-full baths, an open kitchen/dining/living area and a large entry/laundry room.  The home has a nice sized attached 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom in-law apartment featuring a private entrance that can also be accessed from the main floor bedroom which is currently set up as an office.  Additionally, enjoy the convenience of an attached 2-car garage with ample storage on the walk-up second floor along with a private heated office/studio space. This all adds up to 2855 square feet of finished living space.  The home also features a full basement (under both the home and the apartment addition). The residence features a private well and septic system, with two electric meters and two Oil-fired forced hot air heating systems as well as 2 water heaters (one for the main house and one for the in-law apartment.)

The home is surrounded by many flower gardens and has a large vegetable garden area as well as some fruit trees and bushes.  It sits well back from the road behind a field and a privacy tree line and is on a private gravel road which is included in the purchase.  The driveway is also gravel but the owner has placed a paved parking area leading to the garage to minimize gravel and mess in the garage and home.

This exceptional parcel of Maine land offers 210± acres of diverse and picturesque terrain. Approximately 13 acres are cleared fields, while the remaining acreage is forested land. A recent timber harvest has left a well-distributed stand of hardwoods and softwoods, showcasing a healthy and sustainable forest ecosystem.

According to NRCS soil mapping, over 60% of the property consists of variations of Colonel-Peru-Brayton complex soils, which are ideal for tree growth. Common species thriving here include red maple, sugar maple, eastern white pine, paper birch, yellow birch, red spruce, and balsam fir. If cleared of trees and rocks, this soil will support pasture and some cultivation on areas of moderate slopes. The existing field areas, reported to be Danforth channery silt loam soils, are ready for pasture and/or your cultivated crops.

The land gently slopes from an elevation of 180 to 310 feet above sea level, with three ravines that aid in drainage and provide seasonal water sources for wildlife. The property boasts 2,900± feet of frontage on the East Branch of the Sebasticook River, a significant tributary of the Kennebec River. This river flows for approximately 50 miles, originating in Dexter and reaching its confluence with the Kennebec in Winslow. Its 606,000± acre watershed is a critical flyway for waterfowl in the northeast.

This versatile land is perfect for various uses. The well-managed timber continues to thrive, while the cleared areas offer excellent potential for organic farming. Hunters and nature enthusiasts will find this property ideal for whitetail deer, ruffed grouse, wild turkey, and waterfowl hunting, as well as bird watching and observing a myriad of woodland creatures. 

This remarkable parcel of Maine land combines natural beauty with practical utility, making it a rare find for those seeking a rural and productive retreat.
