About this property

Enjoy a stay in our 1790’s farmhouse with many original features, situated on 120 mostly-wooded acres in southern Maine. Our homestead features a small commercial maple syrup operation including a large sugarhouse, 200 highbush blueberry plants, a large vegetable garden, berry patches, a variety of fruit trees, honeybee hives, miles of old logging roads for walks, skiing/snowshoeing, a meandering brook, patio and outdoor fireplace, free-range chickens and two large farm dogs.

The farmhouse retains many original features including wide plank floors, exposed beams, fireplace (nonoperational) with bake oven in your private living space, and much original woodwork.

Your private living space (first floor) has a pellet stove, bookshelves stocked with reading material and games, a seating area, etc. 2nd floor has two bedrooms and a brand-new kitchen (as of June 2021) with 4 burner electric stove, oven, microwave, refrigerator, toaster, coffee grinder, coffee maker, dishes, posts, pans and utensils. There is also an outdoor propane grill for guests to use and grill tools are provided.

**Please note that a small grassy backyard must be navigated in order to access the guest entrance, and you must climb a non-carpeted staircase (14 steps) to reach the bedrooms and bathroom located on the second floor. If you have limited mobility or are unsteady on your feet, this property is likely not a good fit.

The bedroom is very large and has a queen bed, large closet, dresser, luggage rack, ceiling fan, exposed beams, exposed chimney, and skylight. The private bathroom has wainscoting, a pedestal sink, toilet and shower.

Private entrance with keys. Our living space is completely separate so you have plenty of your own space to relax as you wish.

*PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS GUEST SPACE IS NOT SAFE FOR TODDLERS due to the wooden staircase and bannister construction that is open along the side on the second floor and does not allow for effective placement of baby gates.

A truly special place

This was our second visit to Maple Moon Farm. To stay at this beautiful property and step back in time in our farmhouse parlor is fantastic— and learning about making maple syrup with Frank and Jenny was such a treat. We will absolutely come back again!

Fantastic!

What an amazing place. Beautiful fields, cozy rooms, chickens greeting you as you walk out. They had the pellet stove going when we got there so it was so welcoming. Then came over and topped it up the following night, as we have no experience with pellet stoves. It's quiet, and homey. Absolutely recommend visiting. I wish that we could have stayed a week, it was just that lovely.

Beautiful, peaceful farm with a very cute separate apartment to stay in.

Very well appointed, but small kitchen. Ideal place for just 2-3 adults. Bed was comfortable in the master, loved all the opening window. It's a very lovely farm and the hosts are very pleasant and friendly. We loved the trail system they have put in, easy walking lots to look at. Wild turkeys were a bonus!

About the host

Hosted by Frank Ferrucci

Jenny is a Midwestern girl who unexpectedly found herself living long-term on the East Coast. Frank was born and raised in Lawrence, Massachusetts (so it is a complete mystery how he ended up living a rural lifestyle). Both Jen and Frank are health care providers by training, but somewhere along the line realized they are happiest living, playing, and working close to nature, and sharing those experiences with others.

Why they chose this property

We were looking for a old farm with much of its character still present. This farm allows us the space to spread out in a quiet rural town, enjoy a historic 1700s era home while still being approximately 35 minutes to the ocean, 45 minutes to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, 1 hour to Portland, Maine, and the White Mountains of New Hampshire, and 1 hour 45 minutes to Boston.

What makes this property unique

The farmhouse was built around 1790 and is unusual in that it is a twin chimney cape instead of the more traditional center chimney. There are approximately 300 highbush blueberries, several very old standard apple trees and several new areas of plantings including blackberries, raspberries, plums, pears and strawberries. The property features several logging roads that we groom in the winter for cross country skiing/snowshoeing, a bog at the back edge of theproperty line, as well as a meandering brook to explore.
