Historic Quaker Ridge

Beautiful, historic section of Casco, Maine, with western views of Mt. Washington. One of the original settlers built this magnificent home in the 1870s and the present owners have cared for and updated it flawlessly. Wait until you see the wide, WIDE pumpkin pine flooring boards. Spacious, open living/dining room area. Perfect kitchen area with charming breakfast nook from which you can view birds and many other examples of the plentiful wildlife. Both bathrooms are newly refinished with top quality fixtures typical for what the owners have done. You can ski, snowshoe or snowmobile out the back door in the winter and connect up to miles of trails. For skiing, Shawnee Peak is 30 minutes away (you can see it in the distance)and Sunday River an hour. The rest of the year you can hike, hunt or ride on these same trails. Like golf? There are four courses within a half hour, including Point Sebago, only 10 minutes away. This is the center of our Lakes Region, so there are a dozen lakes within a ten minute drive, including the 40 plus mile Sebago-Long Lake waterway. Bridgton Hospital is 20 minutes away. You can be in Portland, Lewiston/Auburn or North Conway, NH in an hour or less. For education, all K-12 grades are within 20 minutes of home. All of this: An amazing historic home, fantastic views, acreage with covenants and a cute guest house waiting for your finishing touches.
