Aequanimitas Farm: a place for peaceful living. Set on 3 beautiful acres along a quiet dead end road, this 1896 farmhouse feels miles away, yet it's minutes to town. The farmer's porch is the perfect place to enjoy the sunrise and morning coffee while overlooking beautiful gardens, organic fields, and views of Moose Hill. Home to only 3 families throughout its history, this property has been lovingly cared for by its present owner for 53 years. Inside, light pours through windowpanes of rippled antique glass. During a snowstorm, the view of the farm transforms into a snow globe. Settle in the kitchen beside the old fashioned wood burning cookstove and enjoy the beauty of a Maine winter. There's a magnificent 3 story barn. Over the years, it has provided space for farm animals, a woodworking shop, and a floral workshop. The farm was also home to Gnome Gardens, a beloved local floral business. The care and creativity can be seen throughout the grounds in the mature trees, flower beds, and extraordinary collection of specimen plants. A giant daffodil bed supported the owner's ''Flowers for Food'' fundraiser for the local food cupboard. Established organic raspberry beds provide a delicious July bounty for homemade jam, while native fiddlehead patches offer both a spring delicacy and beautiful fern borders. The enchanting Gnome House, once the farm's flower shop, is surrounded by gardens and ready to inspire another business, studio, or creative venture. Farmington is 10 minutes away, with Augusta and Lewiston/Auburn about 30 minutes away. Western Maine's lakes, mountains, and year round recreation are all within reach. More than a farmhouse, It is a rare opportunity to carry forward a legacy of gardening, creativity, and country living. Whether you dream of homesteading, growing flowers, establishing an agricultural or home based venture, or simply enjoying a beautiful place with room to breathe, this one of a kind property is ready to welcome its next stewa
