6.7 Acres with 527’ River Frontage – Historic Farmhouse, Price Reduced!
An outstanding opportunity to own the oldest home in Bethel, Maine — The Historic Josiah Bean Farm (circa 1780). This preserved farmhouse is set on 6.7 surveyed acres with 527 feet of Androscoggin River frontage. The lot can be divided, offering excellent potential for investment, family compound, or future flexibility. Once the site of Dustin’s Ferry in the late 1700s, the property blends history, natural beauty, and New England charm. The land offers open fields, river access for fishing, kayaking, and canoeing, plus sweeping mountain views.
The home showcases wide pine floors, original woodwork, wainscoting, a vintage slate sink in the country kitchen, brick fireplaces, cozy den, three upstairs bedrooms, and a summer kitchen. A screened porch overlooks fields and water, while landscaped grounds include gardens, garage, large shed, and outbuilding.
Modern upgrades: whole-house generator, new roofs (6 years ago), lined chimney, and septic field (2 years ago). Bordering Mahoosuc Land Trust, the setting offers privacy, wildlife, and peaceful surroundings—just 10 minutes to Bethel and 17 to Sunday River.
