A great getaway for your whole family. Relax in an antique, cozy farmhouse where you can spread out in the four bedrooms, parlor, living room or kitchen. There are 4 1/2 acres of field where the kids can run or have fun climbing the apple trees.
Take day trips to local state parks where boating, swimming and fishing are readily available. Moose Point State Park, only ten minutes away, has a great picnic area right on the Bay, swing sets and hiking trails. Both Swan Lake and Lake St. George State Parks are only twenty minutes away and have great fishing and clear cool fresh water swimming. If the pool is more to your liking the Belfast City Park has a very nice public pool complete with life guards on duty. There are also tennis courts and a basketball court at the park.
Camden is only 25 minutes away with great shopping. Climbing Mt. Batte offers a spectacular view of the Camden Harbor and Penobscott Bay. There is also a road to the top for those who would rather ride.
Belfast itself offers live theater, cinemas and unique shops along the Main Streets. There are art galleries and antique shops. Or you can just sit by the Harbor and watch the many boats come and go.
Head north to Searsport, only ten minutes away, and you can visit the Penobscott Museum and also more antique shops and one antique mall with numerous shops all under one roof.
If Acadia National Park interests you, it is less than two hours away. Whale watching is also available in Bar Harbor.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2003
My husband and I have always loved old farmhouses and it was my dream to live in one someday. We have become "weekend warriors" thoroughly enjoying working on this one. We have removed wallpaper (lots), scraped and painted, tried to furnish it with comfortable furniture as well as keeping the integrity of the house. And we have loved every minute of it. My husband is a house painter by trade and I am a Registered Nurse. Someday we hope to retire in this wonderful home.
Why the Owner Chose Belfast
We have always loved the Belfast area, traveling there on vacations since the 1980's. We absolutely love the charm of an old farmhouse and instantly fell in love with and at home in this one.
The Unique Benefits of this Farmhouse
We love the convenience of being only 1.5 mile to town and that when we step behind the barn and look at the beautiful fields and pond we feel we are in a secluded place all our own. Even though there are neighbors near by, it is very private. Using the paddle boat or the canoe on the pond is relaxing, often seeing geese or ducks. Personally I like to read and have my coffee down near the pond in the "Made in Maine" wooden chairs provided. (Actually they were made by a gentleman living next door) :0)
This place has a charm all it's own.
