The Fourth Generation Staples Farm is on the market for the first time since the 1850's. Located in the Village of South Penobscot, just minutes from Blue Hill & Castine, this 105 acre (25 in fields) working farm hosts multiple buildings: it comes complete with c. 1800 original 3 bedroom 2 bath farm house with newer custom kitchen; 2 bed 1 bath guest house; c. 1800 original 4-story post & beam barn; 24'x60' barn built in 1996; historic detached 2-story garage; and historic shop building. The farmhouse was purchased by the current owner's great-grandfather. There is an old photo available that shows the great-grandparents standing outside the home in c.1850. In 2006, a 25'x25' custom kitchen was built where the old ell section of the home existed. The kitchen has granite counter tops & granite window sills, 18' tile floor with radiant heat, custom made cabinetry with reeded glass doors, nickel drawer pulls & knobs, gas range, Bosch DW, large fridge, large deep farm house sink, bi-level kitchen island with power, walk in pantry, mud room with storage area below the stairs leading to the second floor great room, double French glass doors, several windows overlooking the fields, and wood box for a 1933 Star Kineo wood stove flanked by brick wall & chimney. The stove has been re-built by Bryant Stove works of Bangor. NOTE, the write up is continued in documents.
