Working Compound with Colonial, Barn, and Workshop on 10 Acres in Oxford County
$945,000
The draw here is what's in the outbuildings: a 2,747-square-foot barn and a barndominium-style finished workshop that together represent more built infrastructure than most buyers could replicate at twice the asking price. The main residence — a 3-bedroom, 3-bath Colonial at 2,384 square feet on 10 Oxford County acres — is solid and livable, but the compound setup is what sets this apart from a house-with-land listing.
At $945,000, this sits at the upper end of our price range, and the outbuilding scale is what justifies the number. Century 21 Atlantic Realty has the listing.
Homestead Potential
Water & Infrastructure
A property of this scale typically draws from a private well, and buyers should confirm capacity given the workshop and barn likely both have their own water demands. Ten acres also leaves room to consider a pond for irrigation or livestock if one isn't already present.
Crop & Income Potential
Ten acres with a barn this size supports a genuine small-farm operation — hay, pasture for livestock, or a sizable market garden are all realistic. Oxford County's mix of open and wooded land is well suited to rotational grazing alongside a kitchen garden near the house.
Sustainability
The barndominium workshop offers flexible space for off-grid projects, equipment storage, or even a future farm-stay or rental unit. A barn this size can also support a wood-management plan if any of the 10 acres are forested, supplying heating fuel over time.
The Boundaries
Given the scale of the compound, buyers should get a current survey covering the barn, workshop, and house separately to confirm setbacks and easements. Hartford's rural zoning is generally agricultural-friendly, but it's worth confirming any restrictions tied to the workshop's prior use.
Beyond the Property Line
Local Flavor & Small-Town Character
Hartford is a town that's actually grown over the past 50 years — unusual for rural Maine — and it shows in small businesses like Bonaventura Vineyards and The Friendly Ewe, a working sheep and wool farm. Nearby Canton and Buckfield add a Sunday farmers market and a longtime general store to the mix.
Agricultural Resources & Neighbor Networks
The Oxford County Cooperative Extension office in South Paris is the local go-to for ag questions, and the Oxford County Fair each September brings the area's agricultural community together for a few days of exhibits and competition. Dedicated feed stores are more of a drive than a walk out here, with the nearest named dealers in Sabattus and Dover-Foxcroft.
Outdoor Recreation & Natural Surroundings
Worthley Pond, about seven miles away near Black Mountain, is known for brown trout fishing alongside boating and swimming. The surrounding hills and back roads make for some of western Maine's best scenic drives.
