Transcript of 120-ACRE FARM FOR SALE IN N. BELGRADE Contract · This lovely, old family farm is available for...
This lovely, old family farm is available for purchase through Maine Farmland Trust’s “Buy/Protect/Sell” program. It is
roughly 120 acres, with close to 60 acres in open fields, and is located in the Belgrade Lakes region town of North
Belgrade. Much of the open land is being hayed, with about 5 acres recently in vegetable production. Until the late
1980s, the property was run as a dairy. At that time, the former owners began focusing on vegetable production,
with about 5 to 7 acres typically in
rotation. They sold the vegetables
from their popular roadside farm
stand and continued to hay about
50 acres in fields.
This property boasts excellent
farmland soils, with 80 percent
classified as soils of Prime,
Statewide, or Local Importance for
agriculture. A new farmer could
continue growing vegetables and haying the land, or could expand into livestock, such as beef cattle. The property is
ideal for marketing vegetables and other farm products given its prominent location on a state highway, and the
popularity of its farm stand.
The value of this property is in the land. The infrastructure needs TLC and the house is likely a tear-down. But a
handy person with a creative vision could do a lot here!
Buildings include: 1850s 3-bedroom house, heifer barn,
workshop, and several other outbuildings.
To ensure that this farm remains viable for future generations,
the property will be protected with an agricultural
conservation easement which will restrict future development.
The easement will allow new agricultural structures, and a new
home could replace the existing farm house.
Asking Price: $180,000 “The information herein is believed to be accurate, but not warranted and should be verified by the buyer.”
