Property Description

Welcome to a truly special piece of Maine heritage: 489 Back Road, a tranquil, pastoral retreat that whispers stories of the past. This historic 5.66 acre parcel sits in idyllic Skowhegan, surrounded by rolling fields, mature trees, and sweeping views — yet has the heart of a deeply rooted legacy. The property includes a spacious 2,218-square-foot home offering 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, ready to be reimagined. With its solid structure and generous layout, the home is a true canvas of possibilities, inviting you to update, restore, or redesign it to suit your vision. Originally part of the land where a young Abner Coburn was raised, this property holds profound historical significance. Coburn, who went on to become Maine's 30th governor, spent his boyhood here along the Back Road. Whether you are a history enthusiast, nature lover, or someone seeking refuge in the quiet beauty of rural Maine, 489 Back Road stands ready to welcome you into a legacy as timeless as the landscape itself.
