Are you dreaming of a self-sufficient country lifestyle—somewhere peaceful and private, but still within easy reach of town services? Welcome to 379 West Old Main Road in Lowell, Maine, a property that offers just that. This ranch-style home sits on 10± beautiful acres, blending open fields, productive berry plantings, and a backdrop of mixed Maine forest—an ideal setting for anyone looking to homestead, garden, or simply live more independently. The property features approximately 2.7 acres of open fields with Howland and Plaisted gravely loam soils, well suited for crops and gardens. The remaining land is timbered with Monarda and Burnham soils, offering both privacy and potential for firewood or small-scale forestry. Lining the fields are rows of high-bush blueberries and cultivated raspberries, enough to enjoy fresh or even launch a small commercial berry operation. With 500± feet of road frontage, this land offers easy access while maintaining a tucked-away country feel. The 1, 450± square-foot ranch home features two bedrooms and one bath, a spacious living room with a wood stove, and an inviting deck to enjoy views of your land. Heating is provided by both oil hot-water baseboard and wood, giving you flexibility and self-reliance during Maine's winters. A 6, 500-watt generator ensures you're ready for anything, while an attached wood shed keeps firewood dry and accessible. Outbuildings include a 30' x 30' garage with a 12' x 30' carport—previously used as a sugar shack—plus a 10' x 30' tractor shed, additional storage sheds, and even a greenhouse to extend your growing season. Recreation and natural beauty surround you here: Cold Stream Pond, a 3, 600-acre crystal-clear lake, is just 4 miles away. The Passadumkeag River and Nicatous Lake conservation area offer miles of wilderness exploration, and ATV and snowmobile trails are nearby for four-season fun. Located just 12.5 miles from Lincoln, you'll find groceries, restaurants, and a hospital.
