About this home
A distinctive Bethel property offering the space, character and versatility that are increasingly hard to find. Ideally positioned between Bethel Village and Sunday River, this substantial Victorian is well suited for large gatherings, vacation use and buyers seeking a property with an established rental history. A generous number of ensuite bedrooms provides privacy and flexibility for extended families, multiple couples and larger groups, while expansive common areas offer plenty of room to gather, relax and entertain. The location is a standout, with excellent visibility along the primary route connecting the heart of Bethel Village with Sunday River Ski Resort. While the property is an obvious fit for winter recreation, its appeal extends well beyond ski season. A private outdoor pool, spacious living areas and accommodations for large groups have contributed to strong summer and fall rental activity, creating an attractive opportunity for an owner who wants to primarily enjoy the property during ski season while generating rental income during other high-demand periods. Rich in character and offering a scale rarely available in this price range, the property provides numerous possibilities, whether envisioned as a four-season vacation home, a gathering place for family and friends, or a combination of personal use and vacation rental income. Offered in turnkey condition, it is ready for its next owner to begin enjoying from day one.

Mayville, located between the Androscoggin River and Rumford’s downtown mill district, is a residential and riverside Rumford neighborhood with hillside streets and long water views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Route 2 corridor near the Rumford Falls, where brick mill-era buildings, small storefronts, and river overlooks set a working-river tone. Rumford Falls Auditorium, the Rumford Public Library, and the Rumford Historical Society anchor local culture with performances, stacks, and exhibits. Housing reads as classic Maine: compact capes, older colonials, and practical multi-units on walkable blocks. River air and trail access shape daily routines, with parks and ballfields close by. Winter brings a ski-town edge via nearby Black Mountain of Maine.
