50~ ACRES + 900' AROOSTOOK RIVER + HOUSE + 2-CAR GARAGE: Leave the pavement behind and discover a place where the days move a little slower, the nights are quieter, and nature is never far from your doorstep. Tucked away less than four miles down a dead-end dirt road, this 50-acre property is the kind of place where whitetail deer wander through the yard, the Aroostook River becomes your backyard, and the gateway to the North Maine Woods is just beyond your doorstep. With approximately 900 feet of river frontage and mature mixed wood stands, there's room here to roam, explore, hunt, fish, paddle, or simply enjoy the peaceful rhythm of northern Maine. Inside you'll find 3 bedrooms, 1 full bath, a welcoming mudroom, dedicated laundry room, eat-in kitchen, and a cozy living room centered around a wood stove, the perfect place to gather after a day outdoors. Wood and propane heat, propane on-demand hot water, spring-fed water, and an engineered septic system provide the essentials for year-round living. A detached two-car garage and large storage shed provide plenty of room for vehicles, equipment, outdoor gear, and recreational toys. Whether you envision gardens, chickens, fruit trees, or simply more elbow room, the acreage lends itself beautifully to homesteading or a quieter country lifestyle. While you'll feel miles away from it all, the commercial hub of Presque Isle is less than 40 minutes away, providing convenient access to shopping, dining, healthcare, and services. The home does have some unfinished interior projects, including portions of trim and painting. Buyers planning to finance should consult with their lender, as these cosmetic items may affect eligibility for certain loan programs. If you've been searching for privacy, river frontage, abundant wildlife, and a place where every season brings a new adventure, you've just found it.
