Four homes in Piscataquis County that sold last month

By Kathleen O’Brien, Bangor Daily News Staff

For years, Maine’s most rural county has seen the most homes sold per capita in the state, and real estate still changes hands in the middle of winter.

More than 300 homes in Piscataquis County sold last year, marking a more than 13% increase from the year before, according to the Maine Association of Realtors. 

The median price of a home in the region also rose slightly to $230,000 in 2025. That’s still nearly half the price of an average home in Maine. 

Here are four homes in Piscataquis County that sold in the first month of 2026, which have an average sale price of roughly $303,500.

124 Gray Rd., Sangerville

This three-bedroom, two-bathroom home in Sangerville sold on Jan. 8 for $410,000. That’s significantly less than the home’s original asking price of $475,000 when it was listed in May.

With nearly 2,500 square feet of living space, the home sits on more than 26 acres that offers access to trails for snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing or other outdoor activities. 

Listed by Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate The Masiello Group, the property includes two detached garages, each of which has two bays and additional room to hold a workshop or storage space. 

The two-story main home, built in 1973, offers an open floorplan with custom cabinets, new flooring, a large kitchen and a sizable deck, among other features. 

3 Back Rd., Abbot

Built last year, this roughly 1,600-square-foot mobile home in Abbot sold on Jan. 20 for its initial asking price of slightly less than $290,000. 

The brand new three-bedroom, two-bathroom house, listed by Realty of Maine, offers updated appliances, a large laundry room and a spacious master suite. 

The nearly 3-acre property comes with an oversized two-bay garage with additional space for other vehicles or gear. The home is within walking distance of recreational trails and the Piscataquis River. 

The previous owner updated the property’s septic system, poured a new slab foundation, ordered a new model home and lived there briefly before buying their dream house a few miles away, according to the listing. 

6 Shamrock Rd., Dover-Foxcroft

This two-bedroom, two-bathroom house sits on more than 5 acres less than 10 minutes away from downtown Dover-Foxcroft, 

With almost 1,400 square feet of living space, the farmhouse has an attached garage, spacious mudroom, eat-in kitchen as well a large dining room with exposed wood beams and built-in cabinets, among other features. 

Outside, the property has around 3 acres of hayfields in addition to an asparagus garden, raspberry bushes, five blueberry bushes, an apple tree as well as additional flower and vegetable gardens. There’s also a detached barn on the land. 

Built in 1900, the property was listed by Allied Realty and sold on Jan. 5 for its initial asking price of $299,000. 

2 Piper Lane, Abbot

Perched near the edge of Piper Pond in Abbot, this two-bedroom, one-bathroom Cape Code-style home sold on Jan. 5 for $215,000. It had an original asking price of $249,000. 

Built in 1977, the 1,251-square-foot home was listed by Portside Real Estate Group and features a fieldstone fireplace in the living room, a back deck, wood paneled walls upstairs and a firepit in the backyard. 

Though the house sits on less than half an acre, the property offers direct access to snowmobile and all-terrain vehicle trails. 

There’s also an oversized three-car garage with additional storage for vehicles, boats or other equipment.
