About this home
254± Acres with Historic Farmstead & Expansive Forest in Temple, Maine
Tucked away in the peaceful hills of Temple, just 10 minutes from downtown Farmington, lies a truly remarkable opportunity—254± unspoiled acres paired with a charming circa-1830s farmhouse. This kingdom-style property, 95 percent forested, offers exceptional privacy, serenity, and boundless potential for homesteading, recreation, conservation, or simply living immersed in nature.
Set along a quiet dead-end road, the historic farmhouse is surrounded by old rock walls, mature perennial gardens, and the timeless beauty of rural Maine. Once home to renowned poet Denise Levertov, the natural setting continues to inspire creativity and reflection.
The 3-4-bedroom home is accompanied by a 494± SF workshop and a large traditional barn, offering space for hobbies, storage, or revitalization as a working farmstead. Need more room? The attached workshop could be converted to living space to fit your needs. Approximately 11± acres of open fields surround the home—ready for gardens, livestock, or pasture—while the balance of the acreage is enrolled in Maine's Tree Growth Program, keeping taxes favorable.
The forest is predominantly hardwood with mixed softwood stands, rich in timber, wildlife, and scenic diversity. The land features extensive frontage on Gus Mitchell Brook, rolling topography, and a hilltop ledge with sweeping mountain views—a stunning site for a future home or off-grid cabin. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate direct access to Temple's ATV and trail network, while nature lovers can enjoy abundant wildlife including whitetail deer, moose, bear, wild turkey, and countless bird species.
A rare combination of history, size, and natural beauty, this Temple property offers a lifestyle rooted in the land—private, peaceful, and profoundly Maine.
