129 Branch Mills RoadChina, ME 04358Price: $175,000

Country farmhouse property just a stone's throw away from Branch Pond, featuring a historic late 1800s farmhouse and barn that combine charm, ample space, and creative potential. The attached barn boasts over 2000 sq ft of floor space, including a 15'x50' area ideal for a workshop. Almost all of the original interior woodwork is present, including hardwood floors throughout. This home features a farm kitchen, separate dining and living rooms, a bedroom (or den), bath/laundry room, with two additional bedrooms upstairs. Set in a great village location with an easy commute to Waterville, Augusta, Rockland, Camden and Belfast, the property offers a 12'x24' outbuilding for additional storage. With a solid foundation and most of the undercarriage recently restored, the home has settled and has terrific bones, it just needs some renovations and TLC to bring it back to life. Nearby, Branch Pond, a 366-acre body of water, is perfect for small boats, canoes, kayaks, swimming, and fishing. The pond hosts a variety of birds, including eagles, osprey, heron, and loons, who make their homes here undisturbed. Trout and bass are among the pond's aquatic life. The Atlantic Salmon Federation owns a nearby dam to reestablish the migratory salmon population in the Sheepscot River. With a 10-horsepower motor limit, the pond is ideal for kayaking, canoeing, and serene fishing. The waterfront population is quite low, with long stretches of empty shoreline. Let your creativity flourish within the historic charm of this property.
