157 Long Plains Road

Peaceful Maine Retreat on 5 Private Acres in Buxton, Maine

Tucked away on five serene acres in the heart of Buxton, this charming 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers the perfect blend of comfort, character, and natural beauty. Once configured as a 3-bedroom home, the layout could easily be converted back, offering flexibility to grow into the space. Whether you're seeking a quiet escape or a place to put down roots, 157 Long Plains Road delivers the best of Maine living. 

Step inside and discover a warm, inviting layout spanning 1,392 square feet. The kitchen, dining, and living room flow together in an open concept design, creating a bright and connected space that is perfect for everyday living and entertaining alike. The kitchen features tile flooring while the dining and living areas carry warm wood floors throughout, giving the main living space a cohesive, polished feel. A spacious bonus room with cathedral ceilings and a cozy pellet stove adds even more character, and a heat pump in the living room provides efficient, year-round comfort. The heated basement offers valuable flex space, perfect for a workshop, gym, or extra storage. 

Outside, your private oasis awaits. Wander your own wooded walking trails or relax on the deck as you take in the sights and sounds of nature surrounding you. A small covered section of the deck offers a cozy spot to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind in the evening, while a welcoming patio just beyond the deck creates even more space for gathering and entertaining outdoors. The attached 2-car garage adds everyday convenience, and a large concrete pad where a second garage once stood offers even more possibility. Rebuild it as an additional garage, use it for RV or equipment storage, set up an outdoor workspace, or let your imagination run with it. With five acres to work with, the options are wide open. 

Water, Trails, and the Outdoors, Right at Your Door

Just 0.7 miles away, Bonny Eagle Park sits on the banks of Bonny Eagle Pond, offering a sandy beach with shallow, slow-moving water that is a beloved spot for young swimmers, along with a boat ramp and picnic area. A perfect summer afternoon is never far from home. 

For those who love to explore, the Buxton area is rich with outdoor destinations. Just 8.7 miles away, Pleasant Point Park is widely regarded as the gem of Buxton's parks, a 65-acre treasure on the Saco River featuring high-canopy pine forests, hiking trails, canoe and kayak access, and sweeping river views. Walk the trails and you will discover an ancient settlers burial ground perched on high land with one of the most breathtaking vistas of the entire Saco River, as well as the historic foundation of the Woodman homestead. Within 10 miles, you will also find Moses Woodman Preserve, a 60-acre property with a 1.5-mile loop trail, Saco River views, and historic stone walls, as well as Horton Woods in Saco, a 100-acre preserve with trails winding through hardwood forests, wetlands, and bogs.
