My folks need to sell their place in Aroostook County.  I spent my teen years there and if you like the cold....snowmobiling, skiing, dogsledding.....or like me when I lived there, hiding out for a few months and catching up on all the indoor projects guilt-free!

When I was growing up, we raised most of our own food....pigs, chickens, goats for dairy and meat, a steer, and a big garden.  Gleaning is the custom in the area, too, and it is common to carry pails in one's trunk and stop on the side of the road when you see a harvester working in a field.  Lots of hunting and fishing year-round, too, with a large lake a few miles away and a catfish pond within walking distance.  Bear, moose, deer, rabbit, quail....don't forget the porcupines, too.

They'd take almost ANY offer to sell it soon, before the cold weather starts....that is by the end of September, folks!  Spits of snowflakes in October, and snow in November.  Yippee!!!

where in Aroostook is it?

St David.  I went to high school in Madawaska.  Their house is right on the trails.  I had a horse when I was a teen and could ride for hours without seeing another person, or could ride along the roads which have very little traffic.  It was beautiful.  If I could, I'd buy it myself and rent it....big rental business up there for snowmobilers!  Then I'd vacation there myself.

There is a big, newer garage made to hold two cars/vans with lots of room in front.  My parents had a decorating store in town and the garage was made to hold dad's work van, the car, tools, rolls of flooring, a work space, and a cedar closet for storing off-season clothes and camping gear.

There is an insulated chicken coop...water rarely freezes in there with no heat source!

The land is four acres, surrounded by farmland, some of which may possibly be for sale.  Farmer long retired, kids not into farming, and the farmer who rented the land recently went bankrupt.

How many acres? Also how far is this from Caribou?

4 acres, and about 40 minutes from Caribou if I remember correctly.....about to the middle of town, or to the hospital should be about that far.

Great, thanks for getting back so quick. Will have the better looking half take a look and go from there.

Do they still have this for sale?

Would they consider a lease to own?

Yes, it is still for sale.  They would take a very low offer before considering lease to own....they were badly burned on a lease to own deal some years ago.  Really, go ahead and lowball it and see what happens!  PM or email me for contact info.

Is this property still on the market?

Hi!, Mr. Hatfield,
I was just reading you post on your parents farm for sale. I do not know if it is stil availabe, but I thought I was worth a try to reach you. If it has been sold, do you if some one else may be looking to sell?? That would be goo information for me. If on the other hand Your parents farm has not sold I would be very interested to continue communicating untill we can reach a deal. Thought I live in New Jersey I am not opposed to go to mail for a visit. Even under winter comditions.
Love life, live life,
Frank

Was unsure if this property was still available. I own a large home with one acre in the south, and would be willing to see if you would like to swap outright. I am originally from New York, and would like to move back north, and homeatead. My current property is in S.C in the country, but located close enough to everything. Please feel free to e mail me at edwardmoresco@yahoo.com.
