Want to own a beautifully restored farmstead in the Maine foothills of the White Mountains?
The Ezekiel and Mariam Record Farm is located in Buckfield, Maine. It is now on the market for the first time since 1977. The listing can be found at https://www.duboisrealtygroup.net/homes-for-sale/ME/buckfield/04220/8-bean-rd/bid-174-1534019
The National Register listed 1844 Greek Revival farmhouse presents its formal sides with bold trim elements and clapboard siding to the road but transitions to much simpler trim and shingle siding on the rear elevations. The house, kitchen ell, shed, and barn are connected in the classic Northern New England big house-little house-back house-barn form.
The owners have spent decades restoring the house which is on four acres with extensive perennial gardens. The adjoining 16-acre field will be transferred to a land trust for conservation and the house is protected by a preservation easement.
The Record Farm is one of 13 featured homes in “Restoring Your Historic House, The Comprehensive Guide for Homeowners” and is the preservation easement example described in the book. Many photos of the house can be found in the book including historic images and “before” and “during” restoration shots.
The award-winning and bestselling 720-page hardcover book is available in bookstores and from online retailers. Signed copies are available directly from the author in our shop, YourHistoricHouse.com/shop/.
Our shop also carries select preservation and restoration titles by other authors. Save on cost and shipping with our multi-book combo packs!
