About This Home

As of March 2025

Nestled in Central Maine on 16 acres, a farmstead—affectionately called ''the doomstead'' is uniquely prepared to weather the oncoming challenges of our time. 
Permaculture-inspired, with elements of passive solar design, regenerational agriculture, keyline design, and good, old-fashioned, common-sense farming. This property offers you a jump-start to food security and more! The electric and landline are underground, and the buildings are not visible from the road. There is a 1/3 acre pond on the property that attracts all sorts of wildlife. There is a 24x20 4-bay shed, 30x40 barn with stalls, 22x44 greenhouse with electricity and water, and 4.5 acres of open land that are used for chicken tractors and grazing sheep. The home is in need of repairs/ updates and is perfect for the DIY person. If that's not your thing, there is plenty of space on the property to build new. There is a 2.5 acre young orchard containing a wide variety of fruit trees, grapes, and berries, gardens, asparagus, rhubarb, and strawberries, and 12 sugar maples on the property. The seller will entertain offers that include the necessary equipment for farming for an additional cost. See the included list. Please no drivebys / do not drive up the long driveway unless you have a scheduled showing with your agent.
