Offering approximately 1,256 square feet of living space, this property is conveniently located just minutes from downtown Fort Kent, the University of Maine at Fort Kent, local schools, shopping, the hospital, golf, and skiing. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the easy access to nearby snowmobile and ATV trails. The home features a 2-car attached garage plus three additional outbuildings, providing plenty of room for vehicles, recreational equipment, hobbies, storage, or workshop space.
