156 North Caribou Road, Fort Fairfield, ME 04742 - Aroostook County

Aroostook River Farmhouse with 900 feet of river frontage: This 31 acre property offers the American Dream. Two miles from town and built around 1875, this well maintained 4-5 bedroom home has a large, beautifully renovated kitchen, dining area and pantry, a mud-room/laundry room with lots of closet and storage space, a closed-in front porch for the sun lovers, an open and heated back porch and huge deck for summer entertainment, a spacious living room with built-in cabinets, book shelves, and working fireplace, two state of the art newly renovated bathrooms, and a large well-lit sewing room.

The attached two story barn has hand-hewn wooden beams, a built-in "clean room" for storage, and a workshop. The new two car garage is insulated and roomy. The horse barn built with local tamarack is in the 15 acre fenced pasture. The backyard has mature trees lining the privacy fence, a huge cultivated raspberry patch, gorgeous perennial gardens, vegetable gardens, and a high and dry back field. The riverfront has manicured fields, a mature spruce grove, a boat landing with a wooden dock on premier trout fishing waters.

Many well worn paths criss-cross the woods behind the house and lead to a spring with cold drinking water and into the magical kingdoms of Teribithians, elves, and gnomes. Hundreds of children have played in these woods and on this farm in the past thirty three years. Many wonderful memories have been made here. This beloved farm is truly a unique property.

Taxes: $2,504 (2010)

Additional orchard, woods, house or camp lot, and riverfront acreage is available.
