1725 Maine Farmhouse with Pool Near Portland's Waterfront

Highlights:
• 300-year-old Federal-style farmhouse, originally built in 1725, with preserved historic character

• Seven bedrooms and three full bathrooms, offering generous accommodations for families and groups

• Expansive outdoor setting with a private pool, year-round hot tub, large deck, and wooded surroundings

Built in 1725, this distinctive Falmouth farmhouse offers a rare opportunity to stay within a home that has been part of coastal Maine's landscape for nearly three centuries. The Federal-style residence retains elements of its original character while providing the space and amenities for a comfortable group stay just outside Portland.

The home's history extends well beyond its early beginnings. In the early 1900s, the property served as a bootleg hard cider mill and, more recently, was home to an oriental rug business. Today, its interiors reflect that layered past through exposed beams, original-style woodwork, brick details, richly patterned rugs, and an eclectic collection of furnishings. Bright gathering spaces, including a dramatic window-lined living area, provide plenty of room to settle in together.

Seven bedrooms accommodate larger families and groups. Three bedrooms are furnished with queen beds, one has a king bed, and three additional bedrooms each offer two twin beds. Three full bathrooms serve the home.

Outdoors, the property opens to a private setting surrounded by mature greenery. The swimming pool is accompanied by a spacious pool deck and lounge seating, while a large deck provides additional space for outdoor dining and grilling. A hot tub remains available year-round, creating another place to unwind during Maine's cooler seasons. The home also includes a dedicated exercise area for those who prefer to keep active indoors.

Despite its peaceful surroundings, the location keeps Portland remarkably close. The property is less than a mile from the city and approximately four miles from the historic Old Port, placing its restaurants, waterfront, shops, and cultural attractions within easy reach. Coastal excursions, beaches, Casco Bay, and the wider Portland area make this historic Falmouth home an inviting base for discovering southern Maine.
