| Notes: |
LAKE SENNEBEC FARM, a historic lakefront farm...always admired by passersby, often photographed. This property was home to the Butler family for 3 generations, who were amongst the original settlers in this area of Maine.<br />
The house and barn were built in 1814 and were completely renovated and expanded in 2000 into a modern home, with a new roof, siding, windows, insulation, plumbing, a new sunroom, and an expansive deck providing a beautiful view of the lake and rolling hills. <br />
For fans of old barns, this one is exceptional! It is a post and beam barn that has been maintained in almost perfect condition for 210 years. The barn's 3 stories contain a large sewing room, a woodworking shop, a nearly finished studio apartment overlooking the lake, with boat and equipment storage on the lower floor. BONUS: a 14 ft. by 42 ft. addition to the barn provides indoor storage for a large RV or boat.<br />
The property includes 200 ft. of waterfront on Sennebec Pond, a lake that covers 537 acres, is almost 3 miles long and ½ mile wide, and provides some excellent Bass fishing and ice fishing in the winter. Sennebec is fed by St. Georges River, which you can kayak up into for over a mile, experiencing a natures paradise that has a wide variety of wildlife, including eagles and otters for you to see close-up.<br />
The property has 14 sugar maple trees, 2 pear trees, 2 apple trees, and a raised bed vegetable garden. Currently the property's 24-acre field is used for haying, but a new owner with a new vision could potentially use it for horses, alpacas, a vineyard, an orchard, or for community vegetable gardens. <br />
Sennebec Farm is located just a couple of miles from Union, a very active farming village that provides nearby shopping, restaurants and banking, and it is conveniently located halfway between Augusta, the state capital, and the best coastal villages of Camden, Rockport, Rockland and Damariscotta. Don't miss this opportunity to experience Maine's ''the way life should be'' |
