Property Description

''TRANQUILITY'' features 47 acres of forested lands and 3,600' of frontage along lovely Houghton Brook and is surrounded by approximately 2,000 acres of Mt. Blue State park lands assuring your continued privacy! Long frontage on both sides (at the end) of a year-round, town-maintained gravel road further enhances this property's privacy. Restoration of the sunny circa 1885 seven room farmhouse and heated artists studio above the barn will be a labor of love but you will start with drilled well, solar electricity, on-demand propane hot water, propane and wood heat, composting toilet, land-line telephone, and internet access. The iconic former fire tower atop nearby Mt. Blue is visible seasonally from the kitchen, living room, and sundeck, and with the cutting of a few trees will be visible year-round. The charming village of Weld is just 3 miles away and offers a convenience store, post office, library, automotive garage, public tennis court and Historical Society. Webb Lake is noted for its swimming, boating and fishing and the Weld area is a mecca for hikers. Farmington, the shire town of Franklin County and the site of the University of Maine Farmington, is a scenic 35 minute drive away and offers ample shopping, dining and cultural opportunities. If you are seeking blissful peace and quiet and brilliant star-lit skies, look no further!
