One of Bethel Village's most iconic properties, this sprawling farmhouse has been photographed and used for advertising by LL Bean, by Visit Maine, and by USA Today (as the cover image for their ''Best Ski Towns'' article in 2019). With a history as rich as it's façade, this home has it all; space, location, condition, and arguably the best post-and-beam barn in Bethel. If you are looking for a place to plant roots, look no further than this option. The high ceilings and era details like canopy trim, curved walls, and wide plank flooring through each living level, make this home authentic and irreplaceable. There have been valuable upgrades to the home including the addition of blown-in insulation, an updated electrical system (200amp circuit breaker), and a basement with poured concrete. This property was originally constructed in the mid-1800s and it would qualify for the National Historical Registry should a new owner wish to register the property. Bethel's mixed-use zoning could allow for a home-based business with proper permitting. Come take a tour of this stunning property and stay for a coffee on the private back deck!
