$118,000 616 Common Road, Dixfield ME (see video below)
There is a great little 6 acre Maine homestead tucked away in Central Maine. With a population of about 1700, a proud history, and an independent spirit, Dixfield tangos on as a picturesque hidden gem here in Vacation Land. The Ellis family homestead offers an updated 3 bedroom home with a classic front porch, wood stove, garage, horse shoe driveway, hiking trails, pole barn, shed, fire pit, incredible views, hunting or wildlife viewing platform, and a traditional sugar shack with a wood fired evaporator to make maple syrup from the trees on your own land.
This home was built just before the turn of the century and has been owned and lovingly lived in by various members of the seller’s family. As a family homestead, useful touches and handy amenities have been added over the years. About 15 years ago the main home and full exterior were completely overhauled and updated. With the exception of it’s classic Maine shape and style, you would never guess the age of the home from the outside, or from within. From the vinyl siding and durable metal roof, to the updated circuit breaker wiring, to the nice level floors (a rarity in older Maine homes,) to the beautifully updated and modern kitchen, the homestead is solid and set up for ease of living and low maintenance.
The only clue to the original age of the home is in the annex. Similar to an attached carriage house, there is another, non-updated section of the home currently used for easy access storage that could also be renovated for even more living area...extra bedrooms, baths, family room, in law suite...whatever your heart desires.
As is true with many small rural towns, it is best to bring your job with you. This property has great cell phone reception and internet service, perfect for those planning to work from home. Just a short hop over the river and you are in Canton Maine. A 15 minute drive in either direction will take you to the grocery stores in either Jay or Rumford, and the University of Maine in Farmington is less than 30 minutes away.
If you are ready to taste that “awesome sauce” and start living the good life here in Maine, give me a call.
