Description
"Dating back to the 1840s, the property’s iconic farmhouse has been viewed by countless Mount Desert Island visitors over the past two centuries. The farm’s other structures include a carriage house built in the late 1800s, a barn constructed in the early 1900s, and a small gazebo. When MCHT acquired the property in 2019, the various buildings were in different levels of condition. Work is underway to restore the barn and the farmhouse, stabilize the carriage house, and update the gazebo." (https://www.mcht.org/preserve/stone-barn-farm/)
To walk around this iconic and idyllic farmland was amazing! It's like walking through history. I remember the first time I saw this property. It took my breath away as it does for anyone who sees it for the first time. The fact that the Maine Coast Heritage Trust now preserves this property and the trails is such a gift to Mainers and to Mount Desert Island.
