About This Home

As of April 2022

The Ebenezer Alden House, built in 1797 and one of the finest period homes in Maine, is set on 55+/- acres of mixed soft and hardwood tree growth, open pastures, a farm pond and a stream running through the property. The house exhibits museum quality construction, extraordinary restoration and outstanding maintenance in a very livable homestead. An outstanding 40' x 80' barn in nearly original condition. There are eight fireplaces, which have all been rebuilt, one with a woodstove. A great renovated kitchen opens to a screened porch overlooking the pond and pasture. Several other outbuildings including Ebenezer's original store, a cooper's shed and garden shed. The property offers great opportunity for the historical and agricultural minded to live a very comfortable life in the country and work from home. Truly an exceptional home.
