Peter Hill Place

Peter Hill Place

A very rare opportunity purchase a large 165± acre parcel of land, complete with its original farmhouse built in 1792 by the Hill family, in the heart of Buxton Maine. The land is comprised of varying terrains with an attractive mix of fields, heavy wooded forests, a small pond and over 1100’ of road frontage set in the town center. Within the 3200± sf farmhouse there are 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 5 fireplaces. Many of the original home features including built-ins, woodwork and mantles have been retained. The 3 car garage and additional outbuildings provide an abundance of storage on site. The property is only 13± mi from the Portland Jetport and 18± mi. to Portland's Old Port.

Buxton is the most north-eastern portion of York County. The town contains about 16,224± acres of land. The woolen mills employ about 25 hands and manufacture annually about 936,000 yards of cloth. One and a fourth miles above are Bonny Eagle Falls, with a power equal to 3,000± horsepower, or 13,000± spindles for 11 hours a day. It is improved by a sawmill with a capacity of turning out 4,000,000± feet of lumber annually.

The town was made famous in the Shawshank Redemption as the hiding place of Andy Dufresne’s gift to “Red”.
