A look ahead of time
Eight of the sixty-two photos
The main house dates to 1761, with an ell added in 1907, and it has been in the same family since 1883. It sits at the end of a long private drive on 31.5 acres, with roughly 2,600 feet of frontage across Cedar Grove Road and Ludwig Road.
Inside are 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and about 1,716 square feet, with wide plank floors, exposed beams, and ceilings taller than most homes of this age. The house is a restoration project. The systems you would worry about are already handled: a drilled well, a 4-bedroom septic installed in 2002, updated electrical, hot water heat plus a wood stove, and a propane generator sized to run the house and the barn together.
The barn is the part people talk about after they leave. Built in 2002, two stories, cedar shingled. The ground floor is a heated workshop. Upstairs is a finished gathering room with a full bar, a kitchen area, and a bath, with seating for a couple dozen people. It answers the question every restoration project raises, which is where you live or host while the work on the main house gets done. Go up the stairs.
Outside there's a large screened gazebo, a covered grilling area, a bocce court, a work shed, and open field running back to the woods. Water and electric already run to the rear field. Snowmobile access off the property, a marina on the Kennebec under 3 miles away, and about ten minutes to I-295 with Bath, Brunswick, Augusta, and Damariscotta all close.
Bring boots. The land is the point, and the only way to understand 31.5 acres is to walk it.
The driveway is long, gravel, and easy to drive past. Look for the open house sign on Cedar Grove Road and follow the drive all the way up. There is room on site for a lot of cars, so pull in rather than parking on the road.
Most of what makes this property worth the trip is outside the house. The field, the woods, the road frontage, and the rear site with water and electric already run to it.
Acreage, frontage, the right of way, the septic and well, what a restoration on a house this old actually involves. Nathan will be on site the whole time and can get answers on anything he can't answer standing there.
