This is a homestead in the truest sense, and it has been one recently. Goats and poultry worked this land and the buildings that housed them are still standing and still ready. Between the pasture, the attached barn, the detached barn, and the Quonset hut, there is room for livestock, birds, feed, and equipment without any of it crowding the others. The plantings are the work of years. A medicinal herb garden, apothecary plants, perennial beds and flowers in many varieties, wildflowers put in for the pollinators. Apple trees and a plum tree that produce, raspberry bushes, and a farm pond. The 18th century house at the center of it was built around the same idea, that a property should feed, shelter, and support the people living on it. A forever farm and conservation land surround the property, so the fields and treelines beyond it stay as they are. Downtown Belfast is twenty minutes away, close enough for the co op, the farmers market, and the harbor, far enough that none of it follows you home. Plumbing has been run up for a future third bath, and the rooms above the kitchen and living room hold roughly another 300 square feet of finishable space. The attached barn adds about 1,100 square feet of potential living area, with a quote in hand for spray foam insulation on the second floor and basement. The detached barn has a second story loft with plumbing and electric already in the building, most of the hard work behind an accessory dwelling unit, a rental, or a studio, subject to town approval. A Quonset hut on a concrete pad winters equipment under cover or holds a boat or RV. A wedding has already been held here, and anyone standing in the field looking back at the barns will understand why. This property can carry more than one life at once. Grow your own food, lease the barn, rent the loft, host events in the field, or keep it all to yourself. Homesteads this complete, this close to Belfast, with permanent open land on every side, do not come available often.
