There are place names in Maine that immediately paint word pictures to those familiar with the Maine landscape. Moosehead, evokes thoughts of Greenville, and Maine’s largest lake. Katahdin, brings forth thoughts of Maine’s tallest mountain and the Appalachian Trail. The name in Maine that immediately paints adventure, canoeing, and outdoor recreation in a wilderness setting is the word, Allagash. Just uttering the word Allagash brings out thoughts of rivers, wilderness, adventure, large trout, big woods whitetail deer, moose and the Allagash Wilderness Waterway. Allagash the town, is a small community of 250 or so year-round residents. Countless people from around the world have passed through the town of Allagash as they either canoed the rivers, explored the vast wilderness area in and around the town, or vacationed in the most scenic region of Maine.
The Allagash River House for sale in Allagash, Maine, is your opportunity to purchase a river front home on the banks of the St. John River. The timber frame home built in 2014 sits on a 2.8+- acre river front lot in the town of Allagash. The 2-bedroom, one bath home is well constructed and blends with the land around it. Built of post and beam construction the peak of the great room is 25 feet above the radiant slab the home sits on. The open concept house has a large, fully appliance kitchen with quartz counters and maple cabinetry. A dining area is adjacent to the kitchen and overlooks the scenic river and valley. Large windows off the family room look out over the flowing waters of the St. John River. A wide stair case leads from the first floor to the spacious and open, loft bedroom. The wood used to construct the home was harvested from the local forests, milled at a nearby mill and assembled by area craftsmen. The timber frame work of the home is old growth spruce, the walls of the home are tongue and groove cedar, and the flooring, and ceiling is tongue and groove aspen. The wooden interior of the home evokes a feeling of comfort and security with the large timbers, and thick slabs of cedar and aspen. Built on a dead-end road with only a few neighbors beyond the home, you have end of the road privacy.
Adjacent to the home is a spacious 30 x 40-foot gambrel garage that is well insulated with an R-30 ceiling and R-19 walls. The interior of the spacious garage is well lit with LED lighting and is very easy to heat to have a comfortable place to work year-round on projects. The room above the garage is accessed via an exterior set of stairs that terminates on an elevated deck area that provides an amazing view of the river. The space above the garage is currently used for storage, but could be finished off for a rental apartment for Airbnb income.
The manicured grounds around the home are a nice blend of hard scape as well as soft scape elements. Stone and perennial plantings have something in bloom throughout the growing season in northern Aroostook County. There are fruit trees, high bush blue berries, asparagus and much more growing on the rich river bottom soils adjacent to the home. A stone patio area on the river side of the timber frame house is a great place to sit and take in the natural beauty that surrounds you here at the Allagash River House. This would be the perfect spot to enjoy a cup of coffee as the grey of pre-dawn gives way to the light of day as the sun rises over the hill sides of the St. John Valley.
The home is built on the banks of the St. John River in Allagash, Maine. The St. John River flows for 410 miles from Forth St. John Pond to the Bay of Fundy. This wild river is part of Maine’s border with Canada in some sections. Within the town of Allagash there are several other rivers to explore. The Allagash River terminates in the center of town where it joins the St. John River. The Allagash Wilderness Waterway is perhaps the most famous Maine river and from the home you can be on it in minutes. The Little Black River and the Big Black River are other navigable waters to explore from Allagash. The other notable river is the St Francis River that flows into the St John in the neighboring town of St. Francis. The town of Allagash is a canoeist’ Mecca. There are hundreds of miles of live water to explore right from the property. Dozens of day trip paddles can start and finish right here at the Allagash River House. - บันเทิง
Absolutely gorgeous property!!! A dream home!! OMG the cat absolutely STOLE the show!!! Her showing off on the counter like she was modeling was absolutely hilarious!!!! She’s quite a social butterfly & very talkative!!!! This house & the garage are absolutely phenomenal!!!
Thanks for sharing.
Ññ
Love the house but the cat made the video. I couldn't help but to laugh for a few minutes because you could hear the desperation in that cat's meow! Lol She was dying to be touched! 🤣🥰
Rick this has to be one of the nicest properties you’ve shown in a while.
Thanks Tom, I would agree.
C'mon man that cat was begging for a little attention. A pet or belly rub should have been given. :)
My wife and I said the same thing. I would be able to ignore that kitters.
Hungry!
Loved to hear the chickens clacking and kitty talking. 😁
When I heard the cat meow I thought there’s the welcoming committee and then you said the same thing. Had a good laugh
Rick, This is a beautiful property. All the beautiful wood and beams and large open space on the first floor is amazing. The beautiful lake frontage really makes this home special. Thank you Rick for showing this wonderful property.
Do me a favor pet the cat. I don't understand how you could just continue on without acknowledging me guardian of the house LOL
The cat and I had been spending about 3 hours together by the point the video was shot.
@@richardtheriault7624 lol okay just making sure .. keep up the great videos
Absolutely gorgeous home, workshop, & property. I’m guessing you didn’t bring any catnip & treats with you😂. Thanks so much for the tour Rick!!
No cat treats. The cat was quite talkative.
The area and home is heaven to me. I can't afford it but it's worth the price. ❤
The Cat…soooo cute 🥰 .very nice house 🏠
Very nice place! PS - that cat has a better life than I do lol
WOW someone put some thought into this property build, well done 👍
I've only watched 5:36 minutes and I already love it!!!
😁
Deprived of it's territory kitty seems not OK with sales activity. However, what a beautiful spot. Nice spacious home with plenty of headroom and variable incidence of light during the course of the day. Compellingly scenic area all around.
Wow! A really special property and a very detailed tour. Love the kitty too!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice showing!! Great property right on the river!!
Beautiful piece of property and home with all the extras.
Beautiful house, workshop and property, Rick!! Hopefully I can find something like this, a little further south in central or lower Maine or upper NH.
Loving the cat!
Very friendly feline.
Beautiful house but those high ceilings-- all your heat will naturally rise to the upper level. Nice in summer but with a 6 month winter?
You apparently have never experienced radiant heat. It stays warmer near the floor where you are.
Absolutely Beautiful home
It really is!
The garden is amazing
I was envious of the garden. It is growing very well.
Absolutely beautiful
Stunning
Love this one!
Too pricey for me but absolutely beautiful
Thanks for sharing
Ohhh shit, a Therrio and a Cowboy in the same day! You GO Rick!
The more, the better. Waiting for the One !
I really like that house. I am also looking in Minnesota rural.
That's a good alternative. All around lake Lake Superior it's so beautiful, especially MN North Shore and MI Upper Peninsula. Don't look any further south or west, it will become highly vulnerable to draught and heat waves in the years to come! Duluth area seems like a sleeping giant still.
Beautiful. I would never sell this or leave. A wonderful home and garden.
We agree!
I thought the same thing!! I don’t know how the owners are going to be able to part with the house, the views & the absolute serenity there!!!!
@@HokieJuju My mom sold the cottage. My family had it 41 years. My parents turned it into a beautiful year round home. They added a 3 car garage and heated walkway to the house. They were going to retire there. My mom didn't want to stay there without my Dad, she was saddened by remaining there without him. I couldn't talk her out of selling it. She asked me if she should save some of the land and I told her not to bother because then we would just be looking at what used to be ours. So, she sold it all. All the land and even some boats and the old town vintage canoe we had in the rafters. I am so deeply saddened. My Dad wanted it to remain in the family. All my memories at the Lake are in my head and bring me happiness. The sound of water slapping the hull is one of my favorite sounds, right after a 5am loon call.
@@driveyoutransportation4394that’s SO sad!!! My heart breaks for u. It makes sense why your mom didn’t want to stay there anymore but it’s tragic that the place where so many memories were made & a place your dad obviously loved, a place that meant so much to u, was lost to u. My family has been through something very similar but for different reasons & it sucks!!!! 😥 I’m glad u have your many wonderful memories to hold onto & treasure!!
Wow amazing property for a super price!
How's the fishing, I could retire a happy man spending my summers fishing and then headed south in the RV once winter arrives
Plenty of good fishing in Maine. The St John and Allagash are both excellent. Many wild trout ponds in the north woods to explore. Call Rick for more info on the home. 207-731-9902

If this was minus the 2nd floor and
AWSOME MY DREAM
Pet the kitty!
Incredible property , how does such a pristine area have arsenic in the water ?
Arsenic is actually fairly common according to the DEP in groundwater. Water testing when buying a property is prudent to make that determination. The water treatment system does a good job of removing the arsenic and softening the water.
When I hear Allagash I don't think of outdoorsy stuff..... I think about beer.... their White is phenomenal. Does that make me a drunk?😆
No. Enjoy your brew.
Nicely presented. Beautiful area.
How much real estate does the govt own?
The cat needs some attention for God sake! 😅
Nice. Guy has a lot of unfinished projects… like me I have some ADD and work on several things at once and take long to finish sometimes!
Thanks for watching.
Fantastic ! Is this on the floodplain?
Not a flood plain but a flood zone. The property has not had water from spring run off, but areas nearby in Allagash have flooded in the spring.
So many of these houses have cats and dogs. Mainer's are my kinda folk. Can't wait to come for a visit and check out some properties!
Mentioning the social environment, other than seclusion, would be helpful; e.g., location of schools, churches, income, merchants, transportation, etc.
Do like the heated floors. 😁
Well-articulated, however.
Actually talking about some of the items you mentioned would land me in violation of Fair Housing rules and regulations. That is why there is never any mention of churches, schools etc.
Cute Cat ! 🐈 ❤ Does it come with the house?,)
INSALLAH
Rick, my wife and I have a small renovation company here in suburban Boston area. Is there demand for that type of work up there. We specialize in mostly finish carpentry, tile work and just about all aspects of residential construction. Looking to get out of the city but nervous about securing a steady income. Thanks
You will have all the work you can handle. Trades of all kinds have plenty of work. No problem what so ever hanging a shingle out.
Rick are there bidding wars over the homes you guys have for sale?
The dirt road is a lot more worthy than the tar.
Thanks for watching.
💕
Let me ask you a question Rick. I've lived on Cape Cod for 40yrs. I've finally had my fill of every summer, the tourists taking over our beaches, restaurants, grocery stores, etc.. I'm ready to sell and I'd love to live up in this area for my remaining years. Tell me, am I going to have the same problems up there as I do here?
No. You will not have that level of tourism. The area does get busy at times, but all things being relative, busy in northern Aroostook County is not busy compared to the rest of the world.
@@richardtheriault7624 Thanks Rick. 👍🏼
The internet access is terribly important and all too often is missing in Maine… too many dead spots because of water and hills. Slate and granite are/ is unnecessary in my opinion- too slippery. The perfect home as-is. And worth any money.
@@DeborahCaldwell77 The home benefits from pretty good internet speeds, much better than I have at my own home.
@Crown I bet you have! I'm a Mass native but have property up there,Not in Aroostook but it's a HUGE difference in Sooo many levels and ways!!You could not go wrong with this property I'm sure!And not too step on Rick's toes but if your looking for a more coastal area I'd recommend Coastal Washington County or Hancock,just do not near Bar Harbor side, Exactly like the Cape,I'd look more Gouldsboro,Steuben area for sure!!That's my Home away from home!!Good Luck
Really nice home and property, but with the falling real-estate value and lack of industry in the area, it's an unitanable price point.
I completely disagree with your analysis. Today lack of industry for this type of property has very little to do with market value. Country homes in rural areas are the desired property type to have. Real Estate values are still trending upwards, not down.
@@richardtheriault7624 And with high speed internet, it brings the world to you.
My main issue would be border closures to essential services, food etc. This is now a problem for many border towns since many areas used to have easy access to the other side of the border.
@@wellthatsfantastic6981 In this case it is the Canadians that suffer more than the U.S. citizens. Fort Kent is the community for healthcare, shopping, services etc. Not being able to get into Canada, is not really a problem.
@@richardtheriault7624 That's good to hear for US citizens. The border closures will continue to be a problem since the world seems to be taking its medical advice from the WEF and the WHO. (Monkey Pox is coming soon to a theater near you.)
It is a beautiful property that would easily cost over 7 figures where I am from.
Someone pat that cat. lol
Does the property line go all the way to the river?
Yes the property is bounded by the river.
What about flooding? It's pretty close to the river.
I live close to a river. Have not had any issues here, nor have the owners of the property.
Beautiful area, but not crazy about the floor plan. Space could have been better utilized. Only one bathroom. Definitely need a second bath in the loft.
Thanks for sharing
It is interesting how people have to have more than 1 bathroom. I grew up in a family of 6 with 1 bathroom, and we all made it to adulthood just fine.
You couldn't take a few seconds to pet the kitty?
does it have issues with flooding
Has not had any issues.
Why is there arsenic in the water?
Poor kitty's starving. Give him some food & water!
Is it in the flood zone?
It is in the 100 year flood zone.
Pet the cat!!
He gets plenty of love😁🐈
When you’re showing a property never follow a kid or an animal act. 😂
DAY LILLYS...not tigers...
You and I are both correct. There are some of each there, but the large patch of Day Lillys was misidentified by me in the video.
Hemerocallis fulva...Ditch lilies. The tall orange lilies.
How much is this
$349,000
Flood Zone??
Yes the flood maps show this as a flood zone.
The floor plan to the house does not make any sense
WAY TOO MUCH FOR ME, anything under $75k, THX
Thanks for watching
Please leave me videos to watch in piscataquis County, maine off grid
Priced way too high. Too much
Thanks for watching.
neighbors are too close
Thanks for watching.
Why are the owners selling?
It’s really beautiful, but there’s just not enough land for horses.
Thanks for watching.
