Property Description
The original Cape comes replete with the original antique pine board floors and molding, open beams, three fireplaces (and a Dutch or beehive oven), and much-sought after original Monson slate sink.
Sitting on 4 acres of land at the foot of Douglas Hill—the house is surrounded by open fields and a blueberry-covered hillside with a peak view of Sebago Lake (3 miles as the crow flies). Enjoy private beach access for residents only at the Sebago Town Beach. Three sides of the property are surrounded by the Maine Woodlands Land Trust. There are classic stonewalls, a frog pond, perennial flowers and shrubs, former garden beds, raspberries, thriving concord grapevines and a screened gazebo. It is surrounded on three sides by a non-profit woodland trust.
In the early 1980s the back half of the house was renovated, insulated and heated, for comfortable retirement living six months of the year. Improvements included: new bedroom and full bath; sleeping and storage loft; open concept kitchen with a bay window seating for family meals. A free-standing garage was built with upstairs apartment paneled in pine, ready to be converted to a winter home. A new well was drilled in 1991.
The homestead awaits someone with vision and means to restore [update] this old lady for the next generation to experience the calm beauty of the setting, the possibilities for gardening and small farming, and the joys of a three-season family homestead.
