Some homes are meant to be lived in, others are meant to be explored, and this one happens to be both! Nearly 25 acres surround this inviting ranch at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, with private trails, Whitney Pond along the rear boundary, and room to enjoy life on your own terms! Step inside to an open-concept living area where the living room, dining area, and kitchen connect effortlessly. Hardwood floors run throughout, while sliders fill the space with natural light and whisk you out to the charming deck. The living room fireplace adds warmth and character, while three bedrooms provide comfortable space for everyone. Downstairs, a propane stove warms the expansive basement, offering tons of versatile space for a family room, game area, workshop, gym, hobbies, or whatever you envision. Outside is where this property really shines. 24+ acres of mature woods create a private backdrop, with more than a mile of trails winding through the land for hiking, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, power sports, hunting, and exploring. Direct access to the former Boston & Maine Railroad corridor and groomed snowmobile trails adds even more four-season recreation. Approximately 360 feet of Whitney Pond frontage stretches along the rear property boundary, bringing fishing, kayaking, wildlife watching, and peaceful waterfront moments close to home. Eight established garden beds, a chicken-coop area, garden shed, screened gazebo, and dedicated RV/camper parking add even more ways to enjoy the land. The oversized garage setup is equally impressive, with a 24' x 36' three-car barn/garage plus heated 24' x 24' attached and detached two-car garages, providing space for up to seven vehicles along with equipment, projects, and storage. Recent improvements include a new roof with transferable 50-year warranty, replaced well system, whole-house water radon mitigation system, EcoFlow backup power system, and newer high efficiency boiler. There’s a lot to discover here, and pictures can only tell part of the story. Come experience the space, privacy, and possibilities for yourself! Your next adventure awaits!
