About 40 Whiskeag Road, Bath, ME

Incredibly rare opportunity to own an extraordinarily beautiful 46 acre property located on the edge of downtown Bath! This is your Jane Austen dream home: an amazing private park-like setting of walled gardens, long romantic hedgerows and English follies that spill down to forests, waving fields of Timothy hay and fully equipped barns — all adjacent to some 300 acres of trails in the Thorne Head and Sewall Woods Preserves. Enjoy the sunrise and sunset from Governor William King’s original hilltop Gothic manor — made of foot thick granite blocks — and know you are a steward of one of Maine’s most important historic homes. Live in total privacy on the 46 acres (22 acres in conservation easement) or be part of the community; this property gives you that choice, since you’re only 5 minutes from shops and restaurants in Bath (named one of the Smithsonian Magazine’s best small towns to visit in 2021),10 minutes from shopping and hospitals in Brunswick, and 45 minutes from downtown Portland. The current owners have done extensive work to the home and property over the past 17 years, adding new roofs, furnace, septic system, standby generator, updating wiring and plumbing, replacing many windows, creating a double height living room and master bedroom, designing and adding new landscaping and hardscaping, and building full equine infrastructure. Additionally, they installed a 16′ x 40′ in-ground pool with hardscape, pool cabana, and privacy fencing which overlooks the fields below. Key equestrian features include a main barn complex with 8 full horse stalls and a heated tack room, plus hay storage for 600 bales. Second barn has stalls for 2 horses or 6 minis. In addition, the farm features 30 acres of fenced fields and flat pasture with water pumps and electric, a 3 stall run-in shed row and a 60′ x 120′ fenced riding arena, chicken coop, tractor barn. This is a fairytale property for anyone wanting to nurture their soul with an amazing spot on this Earth.
