Here is a description: 

A great room with a cathedral ceiling greets your arrival. A wood burning stove heats the home. The spacious bathroom with an antique claw foot tub is inviting. The dining room with antique hardwood floors and an old cook stove create an old time ambiance. The kitchen has custom cabinetry with country red counter tops.  And, off the the back of the home there lies a sun porch that is amazing for early morning coffee. Up the stairs you’ll arrive in the modern master bedroom with attached half bath. Recently remodeled with pine flooring, this room is cozy. Opposite to the master bedroom is another bedroom with built in bookshelves which also can double as an office. Head upstairs to the third floor you’ll find the guest room, this room has a great view of the western sky. Finally, to the east you'll find a secret sun room with a quiet space for reading a book, working on crafts or painting. 

Phinney Farmhouse sits on 11 acres, 2 of which are landscaped and the remaining is a vibrant forest. The hardwood on this land could keep you warm for many winters to come. Fantastic trails wind into the forest and toward an old granite stone formation which acts as a silent sanctuary in the woods. There is also a stream that flows through the entire property, it is beautiful. A nicely sized barn also sits on the property which can accommodate one car and has a wood stove to heat up those cold winter days working outside. Other buildings include a wood shed, large enough for 4 cords of wood and a garden/hen house, perfect for storing your tools or raising chickens?

This home is a testament to the early settlers of Transalpine and Phinney Farm Rd and is also featured in an old book written about the area called The History of Transalpine. 

Phinney Farm is 4 miles down Transalpine road from the town of Lincoln and all the basic amenities are available . 13 lakes encompass this beautiful community of kind people. Phinney Farm could be your next home.   Contact us for a showing.

Lincoln is the first hub as you head into the Northern Maine woods.  1 hr north of Bangor and 1 hr south of Millinocket puts Lincoln in a fantastic spot within the state.  Lincoln has 13 lakes most of which have public access to swimming, fishing, and boating.  In addition, the community of Lincoln is growing.  As many as 5,000 commuters pass through Lincoln each day on their way to work or to visit local shopping.  Lincoln is a great place to relocate or start a new business.  

The Penobscot Valley Hospital is a top notch facility with a diabetes center and also emergency services.  The hospital is literally 4 miles from Phinney Farm. To the east of Lincoln you'll find the quaint town of Lee and The Grange Music and Arts Hall. Often you'll find art shows or musical performances on the weekends. It's likely that Lincoln will be the future home of a wind turbine project.  While some locals debate the issue it should provide a boost to the town in a positive way creating an eco-tourism market. Lee is also home to a well known private school, Lee Academy.  Lincoln is a great place to raise a family and has a great school district including Mattanawcook Academy.   Read more about Lincoln Maine Schools.
