About This Home

Opportunities to restore an 18th-century estate on 31.5 private acres are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Set well back from the road at the end of a long private driveway, this 1761 farmhouse sits on an elevated site surrounded by mature trees, offering privacy and the chance to bring a piece of Maine history into its next chapter. The original home dates to 1761, with an ell addition completed in 1907. Inside, many of the features that attract buyers to historic homes remain intact, including wide plank flooring, exposed beams, and ceiling heights that feel remarkably generous for a home of this era. The floor plan has been partially opened while preserving much of the home's original character. The home presents an opportunity for thoughtful restoration while benefiting from practical improvements already in place, including a drilled well, a four-bedroom septic system installed in 2002, updated electrical service, and a propane-fired automatic generator capable of powering both the home and barn. Complementing the residence is a two-story cedar-shingled barn built in 2002. The lower level provides heated workshop space, while the upper level includes a kitchen, bathroom, bar, and gathering area. Outside, a bocce ball court, gazebo, and covered grilling area create an inviting setting for entertaining. With frontage on both Cedar Grove Road and Ludwig Road, the property offers flexibility that is increasingly difficult to find. Preliminary review suggests the acreage and frontage may support the creation of multiple lots, subject to Town approvals. Whether envisioned as a historic restoration estate, a family compound, or a long-term investment, the property offers opportunities beyond the existing structures. Conveniently located about ten minutes from I-295 and within easy reach of Bath, Brunswick, Augusta, and Damariscotta, this property combines history, privacy, and future potential in one offering.

Selling a home isn’t just about the house, it’s about the land it sits on. Houses can age or be replaced, but land holds lasting value. Even if the home were gone tomorrow, you'd still have something truly valuable: the land itself.

That’s why I specialize in helping sellers showcase what makes their property unique, homes on acreage offer more than just square footage. They represent a connection to nature that people dream of obtaining while having an investment that continues to grow
