About This Home
The Farrow-Farnsworth Home is an historic gem on about 40 acres overlooking Broad Cove and Gilkey Harbor on Islesboro island in Penobscot Bay, one of Maine's top cruising grounds. Two distinct homes are joined together seamlessly. One is a lovingly restored 1790's home and the other a spacious 1970's house. The original house, built by Revolutionary War soldier Josiah Farrow and home to generations of the Farnsworth family, retains its 18th-century character with hand-hewn beams, wide pumpkin pine floors, wainscoting, and fireplaces. The first floor includes an eat-in kitchen with a root, now wine cellar, pantry, and cozy hideaway loft above. A keeping room, now dining room with wood stove, parlor, bedroom with fireplace, full bathroom, and sun-filled office complete this level. Upstairs are two bedrooms, a bath, and a delightful landing area. Southwesterly views stretch across the meadow to the swimming pond, cove, harbor, and nearby islands; eastward are the gardens, stone patio, expansive lawn, and deep woods.The newer house features a great room, galley kitchen, and sitting room all which open to a large deck with water views. An inviting breakfast nook faces east. A two-story barn room with large wood stove serves multiple uses. Upstairs is a spacious bedroom with water views and ensuite bathroom.The property includes a two-car garage with workshop, storage, wood shed, and room above currently used as a studio, exercise space, and guest space. Complete this space with a kitchenette and bathroom for a guest apartment or in-law suite. The landscaping consists of mature plantings, rock gardens, fenced vegetable garden with raised beds and potting shed, plus trails to a private meadow, brook, and woods. Two dog kennels serve pets, and solar panels with an automatic generator ensure comfort. Ideally located near the ferry, health center, store, post office, church, and community center, this unique property offers endless possibilities for your island lifestyle.
