About this home

Attain the lifestyle you've been seeking as the new steward of the 170-acre Homewood Farm in quaint Blue Hill, Maine. Located at the end of a tranquil dead-end road on the famed 'Golden Ridge' of agriculture, this high-yield producing farm offers amazing views of the Blue Hill Peninsula, from the Camden Hills and Mt. Battie to Mt. Waldo. The land includes 28 acres of prime tillable cropland, 30 acres of pasture, and actively managed woodland. The masterfully crafted farmhouse dates to the mid-1800s, with a major expansion and update in 2021. The thoughtful restoration preserved original features, including the barroom's tin ceilings and walls and exposed ceiling beams in kitchen. An antique Kineo Supreme cookstove graces the kitchen, with large windows framing pastoral views. The home offers four bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms on a full foundation with indoor and outdoor entry. The primary bedroom features a fireplace, ensuite bath, washroom, and generous walk-in closet. Upstairs, three bedrooms retain original aesthetics. A large bathroom opens to a flexible loft for additional sleeping, workouts, or a home office. Beautiful hardwood ash stairs lead to the living room, considered the jewel of the home. This post-and-beam addition features a soaring stone chimney and surrounding windows overlooking the land, animals, and mountains through every season. Additional amenities include an antique hay barn, moved to the property and dating back several hundred years, with a dormer offering dramatic views and a quiet place to relax. The property also includes storage and produce-packing buildings, livestock-watering ponds, and much equipment. Almost all materials used for construction and additions came from the land itself. An additional buildable lot has been approved near the eastern corner. Step into Homewood Farm to tame the land and raise livestock as it has been done for over 150 years.
