About 144 Joe Chamberlain Road
The Hidden Ranch. This newer home is situated on 7.27 private acres, and set back into the woods on a hillside in such a way that one feels as if they are in the deep wilderness when they arrive. Whether you are seeking seclusion in a primary home, a nature adjacent getaway, or a hunting basecamp to share with friends, this property offers a valuable package at a compelling price. Bordering Bear Swamp State Forest, there is roughly 1,750 acres of public land right at your doorstep, perfect for hunting, hiking, and snowmobiling straight from your own backyard.
This 3-bedroom, 1-bath ranch was built in 2000, making it newer than nearly every home in the surrounding market, most of which date to the early-to-mid 1900s. That means modern essentials are already in place: 200-amp electric service, a durable metal roof, a private well and septic system, and an oil-fired hot water baseboard heating system, none of the deferred-maintenance guesswork that comes with older farmhouses. A powerful pellet stove can heat the whole home if you’re looking to reduce your use of fuel oil.
Inside, 1,152 square feet of straightforward, functional living space is complemented by an enclosed entryway/mud room, a utility room/half bath, and a slab-on-pier foundation. The site has already been prepped for an attached two-car garage, a head start for buyers looking to add some more covered parking space. For anyone with a sense of adventure or who is familiar with traversing steep driveways with an all wheel drive vehicle this driveway will be no problem. For some, the rugged access will only add to the charm of a home that is off the beaten path, on “a road less traveled.”
With town-maintained, plowed road access and a huge buffer of public land as your neighbor, this is a rare opportunity to own a true four-season retreat: hunting camp, weekend getaway, or year-round home, at an attainable price point. Being sold as-is; bring your vision and make it your own!
