Are you a farmer looking to purchase a farm property in Waldo county? Maine Farmland Trust is seeking a qualified farm buyer for a 26-acre farm in Montville (formerly home to True North Farms) through our Buy/Protect/Sell program. There are several fields, comprising approximately four acres in cultivation, which have been planted with either cash crops or cover crops over the past decade-plus. There is room to expand cultivated fields by roughly two acres and another approximately four acres suitable for hay and pasture.

MFT's goal is to have the property in active agricultural use within the next year and to transfer ownership within 1-2 years, either through a direct purchase or a short-term lease agreement that would lead to the purchase of the farm. The farmer buyer must also agree to protect the farm with an agricultural conservation easement.

Maine Farmland Trust is hosting an open house at the farm on April 10th from 12-2pm to allow potential buyers to see the property. Learn more about the property, how to RSVP for the open house, and what you'll need to submit a proposal (deadline: May 4th at 2pm) on our website: https://www.mainefarmlandtrust.org/request-for-proposals-true-north-farm

FOR SALE • 130 ACRES • SOMERSET COUNTY - With 130± acres of sweeping fields, sun-drenched farmland, and classic New England charm, the Brick Farm in Skowhegan is instantly recognizable for its traditional brick farmhouse, timeless architecture, and peaceful setting overlooking the Wesserunsett Stream valley. The home offers a formal living room featuring working fireplaces, a first-floor primary suite, and a cheerful enclosed porch perfect for morning coffee or quiet reflection. A separate family room includes a wood stove, laundry area, and direct access to the backyard and driveway. Upstairs, you'll find four additional bedrooms and a classic back staircase that adds to the home's traditional farmhouse feel. The grounds are just as compelling, with multiple outbuildings including a two-car garage, small stables for animals, and a tranquil pond. A large barn — complete with a small kitchen and full bath — provides exciting potential for retail, events, creative workspace, or ample storage. The Brick Farm is also part of Maine's agricultural legacy. In 2001, the property became the first conservation easement completed by the Maine Farmland Trust, helping to preserve the working landscape of Skowhegan and protect this scenic land for generations to come. Whether you envision a private retreat, a working farm, or a place to launch your next venture, this remarkable property is ready to inspire its next chapter. https://farmlink.mainefarmlandtrust.org/individual-farm-listings/farm-id-3789

Plantings already growing: Pear trees, Apple trees, grapevines, asparagus, mint, artichoke, raspberries and blueberries!

6 bedroom, 1.5 bath, two story colonial with full basement which is walk out with windows. Home was built in 2011. Home is heated with woodstove alone. There is NO electricity. ( no outlets, nothing that runs on electricity) This is an Amish home, so everything was done alternatively. Hot water heater is off of woodstove. Kitchen stove is the wood stove too. Fridge in the basement runs off the ice room. (no ice currently in that room) Well pump ran off a hemi. Home is very basic with focus on daily life.
