Property Description
This remarkable family compound known as Sunshine Farm centers around Heron House, built in 1864. Updated, well-maintained, move-in ready and offering year-round enjoyment. Outside living offers 2 terraces for entertaining, a play area, a beach, an expansive lawn (including moss lawns and a wildflower meadow with active bluebird nesting boxes), 3 sculptures by distinguished Maine artist John Bisbee, and an edible landscape of apples, cherries, pears, various berries, grapes, hazelnuts, and walnuts.
Not visible from the road, the cottages are accessed by a paved drive leading to the garage with second floor bunkroom/bonus room.
The Honeymoon Cottage is next to Heron House and offers an additional bedroom, a kitchen, a water closet. The Cobbossee Cottage overlooks the second beach and offers another bedroom, a sleeping loft, Rinnai heater, wood stove, bathroom and kitchen.
Cobbossee Cottage presents an opportunity to renovate it to suit or replace it with a modern home built on the grandfathered footprint.
The barn with second floor hayloft accommodates a vehicle with significant additional storage. There is a drilled well, along with deeded water rights to the historic spring on the adjacent property near the original Forest Springs bottling company location.
Sunshine Farm has the potential to be split into 2 lots, each with waterfront. The peninsula property has been organically-managed and features ornamental plantings, mature trees, a stone fire pit by the shore, an old carriage road, a network of trails, a historic sand pit, and a stone point, where the breezes coming off the pond make obvious how the name Pleasant Pond originated.
This is the first time this unique property has been on the market in more than half a century.
