About this home
Newly Expanded Acreage with Increased River Frontage - Price Reduced!
An outstanding opportunity to own the oldest home in Bethel, Maine — The Historic Josiah Bean Farm (Circa 1780). This beautifully preserved 18th-century farmhouse now offers expanded acreage with 627 feet of direct river frontage at a greatly reduced price. The property has been surveyed and offers the option to be divided, creating exceptional potential for investment or future flexibility.
Once the site of Dustin's Ferry, which carried travelers across the Androscoggin River in the late 1700s and early 1800s, this treasured property blends rich history, natural beauty, and timeless New England character. With its extensive river frontage, you'll enjoy easy access for fishing, kayaking, and canoeing, along with stunning mountain views in every season.
The home showcases classic period details, including:
Wide pine floors, original woodwork, and wainscoting
An authentic country kitchen with a vintage slate sink
Elegant brick fireplaces in the formal dining and living rooms
A cozy den, three second-floor bedrooms, and a summer kitchen full of charm
Step outside to a screened-in porch that overlooks open fields and the river — the perfect spot to unwind. The beautifully landscaped lot includes flower gardens, a one-car garage, a large attached shed, and an extra storage outbuilding.
Modern upgrades include:
A whole-house backup generator
New roofs installed six years ago
Chimney has been lined
New septic field installed two years ago
Bordering land protected by the Mahoosuc Land Trust, this property ensures lasting privacy, abundant wildlife, and peaceful surroundings — all just 10 minutes from downtown Bethel and 17 minutes from Sunday River Ski Resort. Truly, an outstanding opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind piece of Maine history.
