Temple, 262 Mitchell Brook Road - 215 acres
Spectacular 215-Acre Kingdom Property in Temple, Maine
Tucked away in the peaceful hills of Temple, Maine, just 10 minutes from the conveniences of Farmington, lies a remarkable opportunity: ±215 acres of unspoiled natural beauty paired with a thoughtfully designed, 3,000 square foot custom home. This one-of-a-kind kingdom property offers privacy, serenity, and boundless potential for homesteading, recreation, or simply living immersed in nature.
The home, built in 2003, is set beside the gentle headwaters of Mitchell Brook. The soothing sound of the brook creates an ever-present sense of calm, a soundtrack to daily life that underscores the peaceful setting. The land is rich with mature timber and dramatic topography and even includes a rocky outcrop on Derby Mountain offering distant, breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. Historic rock walls and a well-maintained internal trail system wind through the property, ideal for hiking, snowshoeing, or exploring on ATVs. The property consists of 4 tax parcels with 195 acres enrolled in the Maine Tree Growth.
Inside the home, warmth and efficiency go hand-in-hand. Passive solar design and oversized, energy-efficient windows invite sunlight and stunning views into every room. A custom Russian Masonry Wood Heater system—designed for exceptional heat retention—keeps the home toasty through the coldest months, while a wood stove in the kitchen adds a charming and functional focal point. For added peace of mind, there’s an oil furnace backup and a generator hook-up.
The home features three bedrooms and two full baths, including an oversized second-floor bath complete with a jetted tub, radiant floor heating, and a separate shower. A large mudroom with a washer, a dryer, and ample storage is perfect for outdoor living. On the third floor, two bonus rooms offer flexibility for a home office, studio, or guest space. A three-season porch expands the living space and provides the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the surrounding beauty in comfort.
Additional structures include a two-car garage with a wood-heated workshop and an unfinished two-bedroom apartment above—an ideal setup for rental income, guests, or multi-generational living. A new sugar shack stands ready for finishing as the sugar bush has 100 maples marked for future tapping, though the property includes closer to 300 sugar maple trees, offering plenty of room for expansion.
Gardening enthusiasts will appreciate the established vegetable beds, highbush blueberries, hops, and vibrant flowers. The property also features both a drilled well and an old hand-dug well, which could be repurposed for livestock. A 5-bedroom septic system supports both the main house and the garage apartment.
Wildlife abounds here—white-tailed deer, moose, bear, turkeys, and an array of birds call this land home, making it a haven for nature lovers and hunters alike. With nearby access to ATV and snowmobile trails, including a connection to the Temple Trail Riders network, recreation is right outside your door all year long.
Whether you're dreaming of a self-sufficient lifestyle, a family compound, or a secluded retreat that blends modern comfort with raw, natural beauty, this extraordinary property offers endless possibilities in a setting that’s nothing short of magical.
