Fifty acres, a historic home, 1,000 feet of stream frontage, Bangor soil type, the best, and forest land too. This Cape Cod style home was moved from Bridge Road in the frozen of winter to this amazing ideal location on a knoll, selected for this home move nearly one hundred years ago. There are conservation lands surrounding this organic farm. Re-cover the two greenhouse frames to begin your operation, or to grow orchids. Your privacy is assured with a bog on one side, the next place over under Maine Conservation Land district and the stream. This place is paradise. Bring your paintbrushes and make this important classic cape into your showplace.

The current owners used the superior soils for a market garden and grew garlic and other vegetables for the organic market. They controlled the deer by using the four-plot rotational method with one plot for clover and other cover crops that the deer preferred. This could be your Garden of Eden. The chicken coop is ready for your takeover. Ripley is a food sovereign town. A roadside stand with your goods is possible. You can finally find your place in the sun for a homestead with all the boxes check. Do not wait, as the work continues with few details to be completed by the sellers. Take a look before it is too late.

Ripley is a small rural town in central Maine, which is what Vacationland is all about. The farm next door raises beef cattle and there are horses too.
