1222 Route 109, Acton, ME, 04001

Back in the early 1800's, before Acton was even established as a town - a gentleman by the name of Hubbard settled on what is known as Hubbard's Ridge, built a center-chimney cape cod-style home and established his dairy farm, which at the time was comprised of well over 100 acres, and extended for all the way from what is now Route 109, all the way to what is now known as Hubbard's Cove on Mousam Lake. Since that time, the property has been sold and now is comprised of about 25 acres of open field & wooded areas. The house was built in the traditional post and beam style, with ''gunstock'' corners in the principal rooms. On the main level is a front-to-back living room with beamed ceiling, hardwood floors, and fireplace with woodstove insert. To the right of the main entry, is a dining room, with hardwood floors, a small bedroom and full bath. Adjoining the dining room is an oversized eat-in kitchen, complete with wood cook stove, and even a ''Dutch'' door that looks out to a small herb garden and the ''wishing well'' house! Upstairs, there are two large bedrooms and a walk-in cedar-lined closet! Off the kitchen is the three-car direct-entry garage with plenty of room for vehicles, ATVs and other toys! Outside, there is a three-stall turn-out horse barn, that needs some fixing up, but is perfect for sheltering horses or other livestock. Look off to the west, enjoy enchanting sunsets & view of the distant hills. Just down the road is a large operational apple orchard, a delightful restaurant & ale room, plus a market, which offers fresh marinated meats, house-made salads and fresh produce. This property is located in the heart of the York County Lakes Region, boasting public access to more than a dozen lakes & ponds, within a fifteen-mile radius. It is also conveniently located within ten minutes of Route 16 in NH leading northwards to famous winter skiing shopping. 1 hr from Portland, ME & Portsmouth, NH & ocean beaches and 2 hours to Boston
