254 Acres | Historic Farmstead | Forest, Fields & Mountain Views
Discover a rare 254-acre kingdom property tucked away in the quiet hills of Temple, just 10 minutes from downtown Farmington. This extraordinary tract combines a circa-1830s farmhouse, open fields, and vast, unspoiled forestland—offering the perfect blend of history, privacy, and natural beauty.
Set at the end of a peaceful, dead-end road, the historic home is surrounded by stone walls, perennial gardens, and timeless rural charm. Once home to acclaimed poet Denise Levertov, the property still inspires creativity and reflection. The 3–4 bedroom farmhouse includes a 494± SF workshop and a traditional post-and-beam barn, ideal for hobbies, storage, or farm use. The attached workshop could be converted into additional living space-see rendered photos for possibilities.
Around 11 acres of open fields are ready for gardens, pasture, or livestock. The balance—approximately 243 acres of managed woodland—is enrolled in Maine’s Tree Growth Program, keeping taxes low while conserving the land’s natural value.
The property features Gus Mitchell Brook frontage, rolling topography, and a hilltop ledge with panoramic mountain views—a stunning potential site for a new home, cabin, or retreat. The mixed hardwood and softwood forest supports healthy wildlife populations, including deer, moose, bear, turkey, and a wide variety of birds.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate direct access to Temple’s ATV and trail network, perfect for hiking, hunting, or exploring.
Offering unmatched privacy, scenic beauty, and rich history, this Temple property invites you to create your own legacy in the heart of Maine.

About John Colannino
I've been a licensed real estate agent since 2001 and upgraded from Associate Broker to Designated Broker status in February of 2020. As a graduate of the University of Maine with a B.S. in Forestry, I specialize in land sales, recreation lands and commercial. Given my background, I'm prepared to meet all of your real estate needs for TIMBERLAND, WATERFRONT, RECREATIONAL PROPERTIES, COMMERCIAL & unique Maine properties. My "no-nonsense" style of business and communication gets the job done. Outside of work, you are most likely to find me somewhere outside hiking, golfing, walking my dog, boating, snowshoeing, skiing, stargazing, or just about anything else outside with family and friends. My Client-First Philosophy, land knowledge and easy-going personality has made me a Top Producer in the State of Maine. There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional: integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how I work. That said, in my experience as a Maine real estate professional, I've also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs. This "client first" philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, I've found that the latest technologies such as geo-referenced maps are enabling me to do everything I've always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. In addition to real estate services, American Forest Management also offers a full range of land management services. Check us out at www.afmrealestate.com.
