Home For Sale near Saponac Pond

Set along quiet Folsom Ridge Road in Burlington, this remarkably private 44-acre property offers a rare blend of seclusion, functionality, and room to roam. With practically no neighbors in sight, the setting delivers true peace and quiet while still providing essential amenities including power, private water, and septic. The land features a pleasing mix of open space, a small field, and a productive wood lot with mixed-growth forest. The soils have a long history of agricultural use, proven suitable for growing crops for more than seven decades, making this an excellent opportunity for homesteading, small-scale farming, or sustainable living. A greenhouse on site offers the chance to revive and expand growing potential, while abundant wildlife surrounds the property, with deer frequently seen right in the yard. Two additional outbuildings add versatility, including a former print shop that provides excellent potential for a workshop, studio, or equipment space, and a small cabin-style building with an attached carport, ideal for storage, guest use, or creative projects. The home is generously sized and thoughtfully laid out with five bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a primary bedroom with its own bath. A large kitchen allows plenty of room for cooking, preserving harvests, and gathering, while the open-concept living area features cathedral ceilings that create a bright, spacious feel. Wood stoves positioned on either end of the home add warmth and character, complemented by a heating system for year-round comfort. This location is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, offering easy access to hunting, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, snowmobiling, and ATV riding, with numerous nearby lakes enhancing the recreational appeal. Whether you're seeking a full-time homestead, a recreational retreat, or a private rural escape, this Burlington property delivers space, privacy, and versatility in a truly secluded Maine setting.
