First Time on the Market - Historic Josiah Ben Farm, Circa 1780

Step back in time with this remarkable piece of Bethel history—the oldest home in town, lovingly maintained and rich with character. Once the site of Dustin's Ferry, which crossed the Androscoggin River to Hanover in the late 1700s and early 1800s, this cherished property blends historic charm with natural beauty.

Enjoy stunning mountain views and direct frontage on the Androscoggin River, perfect for fishing, canoeing, and kayaking. The home boasts wide pine floors, wainscoting, and original pine finishes throughout. The inviting country kitchen features a vintage slate sink, while the formal dining room and cozy living room each showcase brick fireplaces and elegant woodwork. A den, three upstairs bedrooms, and a charming summer kitchen offer both comfort and function.

Additional highlights include a spacious screened-in porch overlooking fields and river, a large attached shed, beautiful gardens, a one-car garage, and an extra storage shed. The property borders protected land owned by the Mahoosuc Land Trust, ensuring lasting privacy and abundant wildlife.

Practical updates include a whole-house backup generator and roofs replaced just six years ago. An optional additional 3-acre parcel with river frontage is also available.

All of this is just 10 minutes from downtown Bethel and 17 minutes from Sunday River Ski Resort. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a true piece of Maine's heritage.
