Property Description
Welcome to Athens, Maine, where you can enjoy the peace of rural living without being remote. If you are looking to experience all of the tranquility and adventure Maine has without sacrificing the comforts and amenities of modern life, this may be the home for you. Boasting more than two acres of established blackberry, raspberry, and blueberry bushes alongside a small orchard of apple, pear, and cherry trees, as well as grapevines and room for horses or other animals, this property offers a literal taste of Maine before you even enter the home. The yard is also frequented by local wildlife, who enjoy the abundance of fruit just as much as you will. Inside, historic character blends with modern updates, showcasing exposed wood beams from the home's early construction alongside renovated bedrooms, office space, workshops, kitchen, and exercise and pool areas. The indoor resistance swimming pool provides a wonderful place to relax or exercise year-round, while multiple well-maintained heating sources help ensure comfort throughout the seasons. The large basement provides plenty of additional storage for all sorts of belongings. For those who want to venture beyond the property, nearby Great Moose Lake offers year-round recreation, with access provided by a public boat launch. The Maine ITS, or Interconnected Trail System, with its extensive network of over 10,000 miles of snowmobile trails according to the Maine ITS, travels near but not on the property, providing access throughout the state and connections to New Hampshire's NHSA system and into Canada. For families, the property is only a six-minute drive from Athens Community School, which is rated by PublicSchoolReview among the top of Maine public schools and has an average student-to-teacher ratio of less than 9 to 1. Sitting approximately twenty minutes from Skowhegan and Madison and less than thirty minutes from Pittsfield and Interstate 95, this property is ideally located for anyone seeking a home in Maine
