Your Scribe is always looking for cabins that are "reasonably priced," assuming there are a lot of people out there who would like to get a camp before the prices go totally out the roof.

Here is one in New Sharon., a small town in Franklin County located between Augusta and Farmington. It is just north of the Belgrade Lakes area.

This cabin is modest, to be sure, but check the price.

It is on about an acre of land, with 218 feet on the Sandy River. There is offstreet parking, and shade trees to cool the place in summer.

The cabin sits high above the (shallow) water, meaning you have to have experience as a cliff diver in Acapulco to consider climbing up and down the sandy hill to get back and forth. But hey, we're talking cost.

The cabin has a loft, a few utilities and a bathroom. It also has an outhouse, though I can't figure out why you need both. It has an old-fashioned pump in the kitchen bringing in water.

It would need a lot of work. But the other houses on the dirt road are handsome enough. And the local golf course is right down the street.

Interested? Call Sandy River Realty at 207-778-6333, and ask for Rebecca.
