84 Steam Mill Rd, Robbinston, ME 04671

This 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath Dutch Colonial offers a rare blend of country living and serious gardening infrastructure on 6.5 acres of mostly open fields in Robbinston, Maine. About 20 minutes from Eastport, Calais, and the Canadian border town of St. Stephen, the property is set up for self-sufficiency, productivity, and even income potential. The home features a fuel oil boiler with a 275-gallon tank, a 4-zone hot water baseboard system, and additional heating from a Vermont Castings Encore woodstove (2014) and Vogelzang pellet stove (2016). An attached greenhouse with a water source, motorized shutters, and hot water heat exchanger stays at 50°F year-round. A second veggie greenhouse (20x28) with Ebb & Flow tables and a 12x12 enclosure supports year-round greens and seedling starts. Gardeners will appreciate the six 4'x12' raised beds with drip irrigation and the main Dutch Bucket system for tomatoes, peppers, and cauliflower, plus an outdoor Dutch Bucket run for peppers, cauliflower, and hanging baskets. There's income potential here, too: from vegetable crops, renting garden plots to local residents, or leveraging the shortwave radio towers on-site. A detached building with a finished second-floor radio room expands the use of the property, and four Ring security cameras with automatic floodlights provide peace of mind. Appliances include a refrigerator/freezer, gas range, gas dryer, dishwasher, and two large chest freezers. An optional apiary with multiple hive types and established bee colonies is available. This is a place for someone ready to live sustainably, explore income options, and make the most of a productive and versatile homestead.
