Property Description
Tucked away in the peaceful woods of Burlington, a small town just south of Lincoln, Maine, lies a rare opportunity to own a true year-round hunting and fishing camp, ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, hobby farmers, or anyone seeking a quiet life in rural Maine. Set on 1.8± acres with wooded edges and open fields, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath property offers 1,248 square feet of living space, utility connections in place, and a rich past rooted in both self-reliance and simplicity. Whether you're looking for a homestead, seasonal retreat, or affordable rural home base, this versatile property offers room to grow a garden, explore the surrounding countryside, and enjoy life at your own pace.
Built in 1956, the house has a solid structure with character and potential. It features an enclosed porch entry, a full basement, and a conveniently attached woodshed, all waiting to be brought back to life with a bit of elbow grease. The home is currently livable and functional, with an oil-fired forced hot air (FHA) furnace and an Ashley woodstove providing warmth during Maine's colder months. While the roof does need to be re-shingled, it is not currently leaking, and the home is protected from the elements. Inside, the house will benefit from some renovations including replacing ceilings, removing wallpaper, and upgrading the linoleum flooring, but the bones are strong and the layout is practical. A few updates could transform this home into the perfect rustic getaway or efficient full-time residence.
The home sits on a paved public road for easy year-round access. Utilities are already in place, including a private well, septic system, and on-grid electric service, saving you the cost and hassle of new installations. With 3 bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a good sized country kitchen, the home is just the right size for a small family, couple, or individual looking for a manageable, affordable property in the heart of Maine.
