25.7 acres in Kennebec County, ME

Set along Cushnoc Road in Riverside, a coveted section of Vassalboro, this exceptional 25.7-acre property offers a rare blend of history, land, and future potential. Currently used as a working homestead, the land features open pastures suitable for grazing livestock, a well-maintained 4-acre hay field, and a former vegetable garden area. A private pond provides year-round enjoyment, ideal for fishing in warmer months or skating in winter. The acreage abuts Route 201, offering accessibility while still maintaining privacy and scale. The 3 BR 2 BA farmhouse dates back to 1790 and reflects the craftsmanship of its era while providing a solid foundation for restoration, expansion, or adaptive reuse. The heart of the home is a spacious & bright eat-in kitchen designed for friendly gatherings and centered around a cozy wood stove. Architectural accents such as knotty pine paneling, original wainscoting, exposed beams, wide pine flooring, and antique details speak to the home's heritage while a metal roof and newly lined chimney add peace of mind. An enclosed, oversized entry porch offers excellent flexibility and may serve as a mudroom or be converted into a 3-season room to enjoy tranquil views and spectacular sunsets. A 1st floor flex space adjacent to a full bath may be used as a walk-in pantry, laundry room, or guest overflow. At the top of the stairs, a large open living area can be tailored as a media room, play space, studio, or expansive home office. A walk-up 3rd floor attic offers additional storage or potential to reimagine the space. A detached barn, constructed in 1980, provides valuable storage & utility. Located a half hour from the Belgrade Lakes region, and just minutes from Natanis Golf Course, with dining, arts, and entertainment in nearby Augusta & Waterville. This is a property that invites vision, whether preserving a historic homestead, expanding agricultural use, or investing in a substantial landholding within one of Vassalboro's most desirable settings.
