Blue Hill

This new listing has interesting historical ties to another prominent Blue Hill property.

Original Plantings

It is beautiful to see flowers that have been on properties for hundreds of years and just keep coming back. This is the time of the year to celebrate them.

1862

What a beautiful property. Congratulations to the buyers and sellers and to our agents Midge Smith and Christina Deetjen who represented the sellers and buyers respectively.

Period Details

When a home has been fortunate enough to retain original appointments from 1895, they are a sight to behold.

Grindstone Neck

If you love Historic Maine Homes, a wonderful field trip is to go to Winter Harbor and take a ride around Grindstone Neck. The architecture is amazing, even the new homes pay homage to the historical significance of the homes around them. Then take a ride down to the Schoodic part of Acadia National Park. The views are INCREDIBLE.

Seal Harbor

This Seal Harbor home was listed and under contract in no time. Built in 1900, we knew it wouldn't last long.

Not Maine but... an email from the Atlanta Sotheby's Affiliate

Inns Being Purchased as Homes

Trend perhaps? The gorgeous Dark Harbor House on Islesboro is the third former B&B we have sold in less than a year that will now be a private home. We've seen this pendulum swing before....

Historic Inns

Some of the nicest Historic Homes in Maine have been converted to Inns and Bed & Breakfasts. Interestingly enough, in the current market, several of these properties are being purchased and converted back to homes. Shown above are Kenniston Hill in Boothbay and Timbercliffe Cottage in Camden.

Beautiful Historic Property Under Contract

Innkeepers

Many of Maine's Historic Homes biggest fans are innkeepers. These are people who want to not only experience the beauty of an historic home but want to share it with others.

At Maine Innkeeping Academy we are going to be offering classes to current and aspiring innkeepers on the historic significance of their properties and how to share this information with potential guests. Fun stuff!

Island View Inn

Beautiful view of Bar Harbor and Acadia Mountains from this property built in 1890 in Sullivan.
