The Abbey at Farrow Farm: Own an Island Retreat in Maine for Just 9,000

If you’ve ever dreamed of pooling your cash with friends and starting a commune, we’ve found you a perfect spot. Located on the tiny island of Islesboro, in the middle of Penobscot Bay in Maine, the Abbey at Farrow Farm is, in the words of the current owners, “a place to listen to the silence and feel the presence.”

Walking distance from the shore and surrounded by natural beauty, this five-bedroom property is currently being used as a retreat center. Listed for $299,000, it has a ground floor with a common space that can hold 20, and additional sleeping quarters throughout. There are three kitchens, a meditation tower, separate tiny house, and office shed. Yes, double tiny houses!

The Abbey has a food license and can be used as a commercial or residential space. The two main buildings are filled with cozy writing nooks, thinking spots, and places to curl up with a book. The Abbey practically begs a new owner to pen some terrible poetry or paint an awkward watercolor.

Measuring 3,000 square feet, the Abbey is surely big enough to host whatever kind of bohemian, spiritual, artsy island activities you’re planning. There’s also a large septic system, so no worries on that front.

With a cozy library, gorgeous leaded-glass windows, wood floors, pine paneling, and 2.63 acres of grounds and gardens, the Abbey needs only some crystals and a tarot deck to make it the mystic retreat every city dweller dreams of running.

The Abbey was built in 2004 using local materials, on property that had been in the current owners’ family for over 200 years. The main house has a deck and a terrace that look out onto flower gardens and the woods beyond. It’s perfect for enjoying Maine’s legendary sunrises and sunsets.

The Abbey’s owners write, “Everyone who enters this space is overcome with peace.” So quit your job and move to Islesboro already. An idyllic life awaits.
