Step into history with this beautiful 1864 Downeast New Englander Cape with low real estate taxes ($3,185) which sets back from the road and is nestled into 11 scenic acres. For those who want the charm of an older home, but not the work that usually comes along with one, this is the place for you! The home has been very well kept, with all major systems replaced. Inside, you'll find multiple bonus rooms offering flexibility for home offices, guest space, or creative pursuits. Complete with an attached barn (which can be used as a 1-car garage) and outbuildings, this property is a dream for homesteaders, hobby farmers, or anyone seeking room to grow or a place to retire. Additionally, the home has been used as a rental bringing in great income. While the forest has been harvested in the past, future income will be available as the trees grow to maturity. 55 High St. is a short walk to downtown Milbridge, a quaint coastal community that has so much to offer: theater and community arts center, library, medical center, restaurants, grocery store, community wellness garden with benches and children's play area overlooking the bay, public boat launch (1.5m away), boat tours, coffee shops, art gallery and more. If in-town activity is not for you, grab a kayak and head down to the shore at high tide. You are not far from McLellan Park, quiet beaches and Petit Manan hiking trails. Blackswoods Rd Scenic Byway (loaded with hiking trails, ponds, camping) and Downeast Sunrise Trail are about 10 miles away in Cherryfield. Centrally located from Ellsworth, Machias, Winter Harbor and Gouldsboro, & all that those towns offer, 55 High St. is an hour to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, 30 minutes to Schoodic Point and 1.5 hours to Bangor International Airport. A one-year home warranty insurance policy is included. Please note: While location investigation is encouraged, do not drive into the driveway.
