It’s just a few miles from downtown Brunswick and Bowdoin College, 30 minutes drive to Portland and halfway between Boston and Acadia. Bailey’s and Orr’s Islands are in town, about 10 minutes away.

This is a spacious and comfortable 5 bedroom, 3 bath home in a quiet location next to a small farm that has chickens and 3-4 cows. The kitchen is well-equipped for cooking and the dining table seats twelve.
