Property Description
A rare opportunity to own the oldest home in Bethel, Maine — a beautifully preserved 18th-century farmhouse rich with history, natural beauty, and timeless New England character.
Once the site of Dustin's Ferry, which carried travelers across the Androscoggin River in the late 1700s and early 1800s, this treasured property offers a unique blend of heritage and lifestyle. With 284 feet of direct river frontage, you'll enjoy easy access for fishing, kayaking, and canoeing, as well as stunning mountain views in every season.
The home showcases classic period details, including:
Wide pine floors, original woodwork, and wainscoting
An authentic country kitchen with a vintage slate sink
Elegant brick fireplaces in the formal dining and living rooms
A cozy den, three second-floor bedrooms, and a summer kitchen full of charm
Step outside to a screened-in porch that overlooks open fields and the river — the perfect spot to unwind. The beautifully landscaped lot includes flower gardens, a one-car garage, a large attached shed, and an extra storage outbuilding.
Modern upgrades include:
A whole-house backup generator
New roofs installed six years ago
Bordering land protected by the Mahoosuc Land Trust, this property ensures lasting privacy, abundant wildlife, and peaceful surroundings — all just 10 minutes from downtown Bethel and 17 minutes from Sunday River Ski Resort.
An optional adjacent 3-acre parcel with river frontage is also available (MLS #1621771).
