Description

There is no place like home for the holidays and no better place to call home than a Christmas tree farm.  In business since 1978, the farm was awarded the Best Tree Farm in Maine for both 2020 and 2021.  It has been featured in the Pioneer Woman Magazine and Martha Stewart Living in 2020.  This is one of the only places left on earth where the employees show up early for work and are happy to be there.

If you are tired of living in the city, this is the lifestyle you have been waiting for.  If you are able to work from home, the current owners installed high speed fiber so the upload and download speeds are fantastic.  The land consists of 185+- acres total, including 30+- acres growing balsam fir Christmas Trees.  The property also has great opportunity for a sugarbush with over one thousand potential maple taps.  With a topography that runs from 540 feet above sea level to 880 feet above sea level, gravity feeding tap lines to a sugarhouse would be no problem.

From the back field you will find spectacular views to the south and southwest.  This would be a great spot to build a rental cabin with solar power.

The farmhouse was built in 1998, with a large covered porch, it has the charm and character of a much older home.  The sunroom entryway separates the 3-bedroom apartment from the main house.  The apartment was built in 1991 and has wide pine plank flooring with cathedral ceilings in the open kitchen and living room area.  With 2 bedrooms and a full bath on the main floor, this would make a great in-law apartment.  If you are interested in running a country bed and breakfast, this space would be perfect.  You could easily bring in $1,000 per week on Airbnb.  

The main home has a first floor laundry room off the kitchen.  The kitchen has new (2021) stainless-steel appliances and quartz countertops.  You will enjoy this large kitchen with exposed beams in the cathedral ceilings. A wood stove with beautiful stone work adds to the charm.  Off the kitchen is a massive living room with hardwood floors and direct access to the covered porch.  The first floor also has a home office, exercise room and a full bath.  Upstairs is another full bath, the master bedroom and the second bedroom.  The owners replaced all the carpeted floors with laminate flooring.

The home is heated by an oil-fired hot water baseboard boiler with a wood boiler.  The land provides all the firewood you will need.  The owners also installed two heat pumps for another heating source but also air conditioning.  Living in the country does come with occasional power outages but to solve this, the current owners installed a 22 KW automatic generator which automatically switches on when needed.  

The barn has been newly painted and upgraded with LED lighting.  The heated work and gift shop is something you would see on the Hallmark channel.  The owners upgraded the web site for better online ordering and bar coded all inventory with a Square POS system. Boxes and labels for shipping have recently been redesigned to showcase the farm's fresh fragrant wreaths. A 3-bay garage was added to store the tractors, creating more retail space in the main barn.

Driving to the farm is easy, located just 12 minutes off I-95 and 3 ½ hours from Boston or 7 hours from New York City.  Bangor International Airport (BGR) which is 30 minutes away, offers flights to both Boston and NYC.  The town of Newburgh with a population of about 1,500 people is conveniently located one hour from the Maine coastal town of Campden and 30 minutes to Belfast.  Enjoy the fresh air and the four seasons of Maine with your own Christmas Tree Farm.
