About this property

Maine Saltwater Farmhouse on 80 acres with private rocky shore

This Saltwater Farmhouse is a classic 150+ year-old clapboard house with attached barn on 80 private acres, including woods and a hay field gently sloping to the rocky Maine coast. Reminders of its days as a working farm can be found in the carefully maintained barn, including stalls and antique farm equipment. The farm equipment is displayed in the barn with safety fencing to protect small curious visitors. Bicycles of all sizes, ping-pong, croquet, badminton and lawns large enough for soccer and baseball games will provide plenty of 'at home' activities. Cooking out can be on the deck or a short walk to grill on the rocks.

Located on St. George Peninsula between the fishing villages of Tenants Harbor and Pt.Clyde, you are only a short distance from popular restaurants, kayaking, fishing, sailing, hiking, beaches, movie theaters, antique & novelty shops, Marshall Point Lighthouse, which was seen in the movie, Forrest Gump, and ferries to nearby scenic islands, such as Monhegan and Vinalhaven. In nearby Rockland, the Farnsworth Museum with its collection of Wyeth paintings , is well worth a visit.

The farmhouse has 6 bedrooms, so there's plenty of room for family & friends.The dining room seats 10-12 for fun family dinners. The living room's lovely natural light make this a cozy room for quiet reading by the fireplace. A forced air furnace keeps you warm on cool Maine evenings. The back deck is just the place to begin your day, as you look across the hayfield to the ocean. Watch the local lobstermen as they check out their traps, then head into town to pick up fresh lobster for dinner.

The farmhouse can be your base as you explore the beautiful state of Maine, including Acadia Park to the north and Freeport with infamous L.L.Bean's to the south.

Serene country getaway in quiet Maine coastal town
If you like old, historic houses with plenty of old-fashioned charm, it's the place for your vacation. The mix of farmhouse, large barn, fields, and ocean are hard to find. The owners are receptive and welcoming. It was our second visit, and we had a fabulous time. Surrounding towns are easily accessible, and if you like the coast of Maine, you will find a gem in this property.

Peaceful retreat on beautiful Maine coast
My family (mom, three kids, husband) stayed here for a week this past August and fell in love with this property. The farmhouse is exactly what it looks like online--it has been maintained over 100+ years without altering its character and charm--it has all modern conveniences you will need, but has been allowed to remain true to its original form. The property includes beautiful and extensive meadows, with a rocky shoreline (not for swimming, but there is a lovely swimming beach nearby). The house is roomy and provided each family member with their own space. There are many towns along the shoreline in this area that are not overly touristy and can be reached within a 45 minute-hour drive, and the proximity to Monhegan Island is a definite plus. We would definitely come stay here again.

Unspoiled history
If you’re considering renting the farmhouse you likely have the means to stay at many fine hotels and resorts. Those can be enjoyable. But, if you value relaxation, uniqueness, simpler times, history, and unspoiled nature, the farmhouse outshines any and likely all. Pretend it’s 1910 and a farmer, his wife and grown children are living at the house. The farm is actively providing for their sustenance. Investments have been made in apple trees, a garden and a hand pumped well. A horse drawn tractor is used daily to move large chunks of stone out of the field and unto the growing stone wall. Now, take “everything” away except the house, barn, and field. Clean everything up, repaint, but leave almost everything original. Non-muddled. Throw in some modern appliances. Put an old rowing dory in the barn and fill it with buoys. Put a basketball ball hoop in there as well for some fun. And then transport that whole scene to the here and now. That’s the farmhouse. Intriguing to just think on what all happened through the years. And yes, there’s magical paths through the hay field meandering down to the rocks and ocean. Sit there on the bench with the old tree just barely over your head and stare at the waves. Smell the mist. Who need reservations at Acadia? And then there’s all these neat fishing ports, restaurants, downtowns and unique sites to visit. Plus, there’s Wasses’s hotdogs up the road a ways! Read the other reviews to learn more. But this is why we enjoy staying at the Farm

Maine Saltwater Farmhouse
We have just returned from another visit to our favorite getaway. Communicating with our host was a breeze. The farmhouse and barn are beautifully outfitted with comfortable furnishings, great appliances, kitchen staples, games, books, framed posters and other prints … and the flowers, apples, and, oh my, the wonderful fields leading down to the ocean. We love our time at the Lang’s farmhouse.

About the host

Hosted by Maggie & Bill Lang

Host profile image
Bill's family purchased this home in 1959 with many summers spent enjoying the Maine coast, big family dinners, playing on the rocks and antiquing, all contributing to family memories. Our children have grown up spending parts of every summer here and we continue to enjoy coming in early summer for family reunions. Sitting on the back deck at the beginning & end of each day and long walks have become some of our favorite activities.

Why they chose this property

Wonderful location for family reunions, painting and writing workshops or romantic get-a-ways.

What makes this property unique

The quiet community, beautiful views and lots of available activities in the area.
