The property is ideal for a small home business. The horse facility includes a 6-stall barn, run-in shed and paddocks, pastures, and a 70' x 120' riding ring. And the best thing is you can saddle up in the barn and ride right out onto miles and miles of awesome trails! There's trails for everyone's taste - wide woods roads, open fields, streams, winding deep woods paths, Beaver ponds and canter hills. To see a trail map and photos click here.

For the garden enthusiast there are rasied garden beds, a tool shed and a potting shed with skylights for starting early seedlings. Like fresh eggs? There is a chicken coop with a sizeable run. And a woodshed for your winter's wood supply. To see photos of the gardens, click here.

Energy efficient features include: a solar photovoltaic array that supplements the electricity needs and acts as a backup; wood stoves on the main floor and basement easily heat the entire home with wood harvested from the land. The gardens provide fresh vegetables and the residents of the chicken coop produce fresh eggs daily year round. Miles of trails stretch from the front door and offer recreation for everyone. - this is truly life as it should be in Maine.
