If you've been looking for the perfect place to start your own homestead but appreciate local modern amenities, look no further than this charming farmhouse located in the heart of Augusta. The moment you step foot on this 3 acre property you are transported to another time and place. The former Asa Bartlett house, it was later occupied by the famed publisher Peleg O. Vickory in the early 1800's. The shimmering duck pond and rolling fields provide peace and solitude, as well as the perfect environment for your livestock to graze. A fenced in permaculture garden awaits your finishing touches and the rich soil throughout is perfect for vegetable gardening. The original barn was torn down in the 1990's and a new once erected in the same style. A large apple tree in the front yard produces an abundance of apples for any of your canning, juicing, or baking needs. The main home structure and systems have been well cared for over the years, while leaving of space for the cosmetics to be finished to your preference. All of the original wide pine flooring has been left untouched (and unpainted) and is ready to be brought back to its former glory. The oversized family room includes a wood burning stove and overlooks the green pasture. 3-4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms complete the package. The second floor primary bedroom with en suite bathroom includes a large picture window overlooking the property and vaulted ceilings. New siding, modern wiring, and foundation work were all completed in the early 2000's to preserve the home into the new century. Brand new windows on the first floor, a new furnace, and modern insulation allow for cozy warmth in the winter and cool breezy summer days. There is truly more than meets the eye on this sweet gentlemen's farm. It is brimming with character, charm, and an energy that must be experienced to be understood.
