Property Description

Set on five private, estate-like acres in picturesque Pownal just over the Freeport line, this beautifully updated mid-1800s Greek Revival farmhouse offers an authentic Maine lifestyle defined by land, character, and opportunity. For buyers seeking an estate feel, the property features open acreage, a classic barn, and a home with flexibility and room to personalize, along with meaningful modern updates and a move-in-ready kitchen. Surrounded by open pasture, mature woods, and curated gardens with heirloom apple trees, lilacs, and perennial beds, the setting is peaceful and private while remaining minutes to Freeport, I-295, and an easy drive to Portland. The 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home blends historic charm with thoughtful improvements. A newly renovated kitchen includes quartz countertops, farmhouse sink, and red birch flooring. Original pumpkin pine floors and a restored beehive oven highlight the home's authentic character and craftsmanship. The main level offers a flexible layout with a cozy sitting room, formal dining room, spacious great room, and updated powder room. Upstairs includes three well-proportioned bedrooms and a full bath, maintaining comfort within a classic historic structure. An attached 20' x 40' ell provides strong potential for future expansion, including a primary suite, guest quarters, studio, or in-law apartment, with conceptual visioning to help illustrate possibilities for personalization. Outside, a large composite deck overlooks the landscape and creates an inviting outdoor entertaining space. The 40' x 50' barn with stalls, paddocks, and flexible space supports equestrian use, hobby farming, workshop needs, or a creative compound lifestyle. Thoughtful system updates and a full-property generator provide comfort and peace of mind. An authentic antique property offering estate-like living, barn-centered lifestyle potential, and long-term flexibility--ideal for buyers seeking character, land, and opportunity.
