OPEN HOUSE SAT 9/20 11-1! Welcome to the Burnell Tavern, built in 1737 before Maine became a state. Once part of Flintstown, Massachusetts, this landmark is among New England's oldest surviving taverns and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. For nearly 300 years it served as an Inn & tavern, post office, train depot, and market-the heart of the community through centuries of change. Today, it's ready for its next chapter. Set on 16 acres of forested land, the property is zoned village/commercial, offering both residential comfort and business potential. There are four distinct buildings: the main house with Colonial details like wide-plank pine floors, multiple fireplaces, and exposed beams; a small historic building once serving as the general store; and two large barns, including the livestock barn upgraded with an insulated floor, water, and 400 Amp service. Inside, you'll find five spacious bedrooms, a primary suite with walk-in closet, a second sunlit walk-in closet upstairs, and two full baths. The living room and a downstairs bedroom feature working fireplaces. The kitchen overlooks the backyard and offers an induction stove, dishwasher, and pantry. Burnell Tavern has been thoughtfully updated for modern living: oversized septic for 6 bedrooms, efficient HVAC, EV charger, and solar system. The property borders trails on a defunct railway, offering miles of hiking, ATVing, snowmobiling, and snowshoeing. An old fire lane provides access to the Saco River for swimming, fishing, and canoeing. Relax on the porch with sunset views, plant a garden, or enjoy the quiet of Maine's forests.
