0 Main St, Sanford, ME, 04073

More than 22 acres with an upgraded barn and pond, a short walk to the sand beach at Springvale Park across the street. The layout is very unique: There's a driveway leading to direct frontage on Main Street (Route 11) but the bulk of the acreage is set far back from the road, combining accessibility with privacy. The barn itself needs renovation but significant work is already finished to prepare the structure for conversion to a residence, including 200-amp electrical service, a new metal roof, new water heater, new Mitsubishi mini-splits, new spray foam insulation, and a new well water pump. Outside there's a small but scenic pond, and a fenced-in garden area. Behind the barn is a blank canvas. 22 acres of wilderness is enormous for this part of town, and the topography rises up very gently as you proceed deeper into the woods. About a half-mile of wide recreational trails are already cut in, and the rear boundary is an ITS snowmobile trail, meaning you could snowmobile from the barn all the way to Canada on the interconnected network. The property is perc-tested and a rudimentary septic design sketch for a three-bedroom home is available. To view, enter the dirt driveway just beside the mailbox for 333 Main Street and follow it to reach the barn. Feel free to explore the barn exterior and surrounding acreage unsupervised at any time. An appointment is required to tour the barn interior. Please note some of the photos in this listing depict nearby Springvale Park. The property itself is not waterfront (other than the small pond) or grassy.
