291 Guilford Center Rd, Guilford, ME 04443 $44,000 ~ SOLD for $48,500

OHU50K NOTES

This fixer upper on almost 35 acres is what is known as a connected farm complex. Especially prominent in New England, such structures consisted of the “big house” or family living quarters, which was connected to the “little house” which typically contained the kitchen.

Next came the “back house,” which was traditionally a carriage house. Then came the livestock barn.

This style was conducive to farming in the cold, harsh winters of New England. Many areas, however, banned connected farm complexes due to fire concerns. Such bans were lifted in the 18th century.

This structure needs significant work, but one doesn’t usually come across a place with 35 acres for under $50K.
