Hostile Valley Farm offers nearly 100 acres and the kind of homestead living most people dream about. Over the past decade the current owners have revived the farm, restoring the land and adding modern comforts to the home. Prior to their 2016 purchase, the farm had been in the same family since it was first built and cleared in the 1800s. The farmhouse offers historic character and rustic charm, with sunlit living spaces, a renovated kitchen, and beautiful views across the fields and orchards. The farmhouse has both wood heat and heat pumps for comfort in winter and summer. New solar panels installed in 2019. The post-and-beam barn offers space for animals, storage, and events in a building that breathes with history, while a renovated chicken coop is now an open event space overlooking the farm pond and garden. This historic property has been featured in articles with Maine magazine and its restoration is lovingly captured through the current owner's social media and book, So You Want to Be a Modern Homesteader. The landscape is shaped by two centuries of farming, with open hay fields, a farm pond, and trails through the wooded area. Nearly 60 heritage fruit trees were planted in the past decade, and are beginning to fruit. Extensive stone walls circle each field, and a historic spring provides a backup water source to the drilled well. Thirty minutes from Belfast, Augusta, Camden, and Waterville, the farm is centrally located while feeling like you are in the middle of a rural retreat. Whether envisioned as a family homestead, regenerative farm, or retreat destination, Hostile Valley Farm offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to steward an iconic Maine landscape.
