Highland cattle graze at the forest's edge on our Celtic-heritage farm: a gentle retreat with options for woodland wandering, farm-fresh breakfasts (weekdays only, must be requested one week in advance), and campfires complete with traditional Gaelic music!
Our 40-acre farm includes heritage-breed animals, organic gardens, and over 30 acres of conservation woodlands. We favor scythes over tractors--your stay will be quiet and fume-free! Bradbury Mountain and several trail networks are nearby, along with rivers, ocean beaches, and an excellent locavore food scene.
Since the early 1800s, this land on the edge of Chandler Brook has nourished bodies and spirits alike. Sloping pastures meet well-managed woodlands, making this a haven for both humans and wildlife. Since the 1980s, we have worked to restore the soil and make a "hand-built" life as farmers using pre-industrial organic methods. We maintain pollinator habitats, tend an fledgling orchard of heirloom-variety fruit trees, and conserve rare heritage-breed animals, including Tamworth pigs and Scottish Highland Cattle. Our shared love for Celtic folk culture has blended naturally with our love of sustainable agriculture to create Tir na nOg Farm. Today, the work of restoration continues with the help of farm partners, family, friends, WWOOFers, and other volunteers. This land is already better than we found it, but we hope it will remain a gathering-ground of culture and agriculture, tradition and innovation for generations to come.

We are not openly hosting this year. You arr welcome to message to see if it is available and we will open the date if we can.
1 site, that's it! Just off Route 125, our property offers a space to sleep and cook—no amenities, just the beauty of the outdoors and a place to poop.
The land borders a lush greenway and a rare wetland ecosystem called a fen. Expect visits from chipmunks, wild turkeys, raccoons, possums, porcupines, and possibly a sharp-shinned hawk overhead or a deer wandering through. With dry leaves on the ground, even small critters can sound surprisingly big, adding to the wild charm of the place.
Though the campsite is set back on the property, you may still hear some road noise from Route 125. You’ll catch only a glimpse of one neighbor’s home through the trees (their generator runs for about an hour on Sunday afternoons).

Welcome to the “Who Cooks for You?” campsite, an ode to our owl friends, who you'll likely hear at night. We’re less than a half mile from the ocean and about a mile from downtown Freeport so you can access the outlets or one of Freeports many festivities. Feeling snacky or need firewood? Bow Street Market is right around the corner. Fancy a coastal view? You can head over to Winslow or Wolfe’s Neck parks, both offering ocean access and seriously swoon-worthy vistas just minutes away. Winslow also has a boat launch for those wanting to kayak.
Nestled just below an old granite quarry turned 35-acre nature preserve, this spot is for those who want a mix of forest magic, coastal breezes, and all the woodland creatures. Park your car and walk into the mossy wonderland of Maine woods, where you’ll pitch your tent on a bed of wood chips or moss beneath a thick canopy of trees. This hidden gem offers both adventure and relaxation.
For the nature lovers, there are multiple hikes and trails nearby. The most convenient is the one behind your campsite. A short walk down the street and you can jump on the Quarry woods trail https://freeportconservationtrust.org/quarry-woods. From there you can literally walk into town for the marshmallows and chocolate. Look forward to coming back to the site to light a campfire and enjoy the solitude.
No matter the season, reconnect with nature and listen…the crows rule by day and the owls by night.
Site Orientation: This site offers privacy and peace while being just 200 feet through the woods from our house. We can’t really see or hear the site well from the house but you might hear us from time to time. Our goal is to give you privacy.
Toilet is a portable toilet inside outhouse for privacy with WAG-bags for easy disposal.

Megquier place as they used to call it. Built in 1775, Megquier farm was the first homestead in the town of New Gloucester. The house here is supposedly the oldest in New Gloucester. Situated on originally 60 now 30 acres of woodland, with trails of all sorts that weave through the property which is surrounded by mostly farmland and wooded terrain.
The Megquier family who built the house had relations with local indigenous people trading cider from their orchard. They also were known to be rebellious towards English rule at the time and were involved in the local militia leading to the revolutionary war against English rule. Proof of which lies in some historic photos of family members dressed in militia uniform right in front of my house way back when. Furthermore, construction of the house itself violated the kings rule that no tree over two feet in diameter marked by the kings agents was to be harvested. However, the roof sheathing in the house are two feet wide at least. Interesting to review the history of mast landing in Freeport Maine, just a few miles away.
More recent undocumented history of this property is just as interesting. I’m told that during the Vietnam war period, many people resided here in commune to resist the draft for that illegal war. They camped along what was once a pond here on a sunny hillside with towering Hemlock trees. Proof of which lies just under the ground such as old beer bottle and cans from that time as well as the rusted front end of an old International Harvester bus similar the one Ken Keasey and the merry pranksters drove around the US with. Pretty cool.
I’m told that this place has a cool vibe to it, in the house and around the property. Hopefully I’m keeping that intact. After 7 years here I’ve created a network of trails for biking, skiing and exploring. I’ve carved out a nice high and dry hilltop camp with two 12’x12’ platforms and a composting outhouse. It’s situated on the most isolated area of the property. It’s quiet, private and gets great afternoon/evening light. Totally chill place to isolate. And mountain bike.
There are approximately 7 kilometers of private bike trails to explore and more always being created. Very close to other local biking trial networks via some road sections or a quick shuttle to other trailheads.
Also there’s a decent little sandy swimming hole a mile down the road.
This camp is brand new this summer. I’m hoping to attract people who love mountain biking.Learn more about this land:Winter camping available. Private isolated campsite on 30 acres. Great bike trails. Wooded dry hilltop campsite with privacy and seclusion. I’ve constructed two 12’x12’ platforms at the top of the hill along with a custom built composting outhouse and huge stone fire pit. Bike down your choice of trails into my network right from the site. Park your vehicle in the field near the trailhead and hike in to the camp or bring your four wheel drive vehicle right to the site. Utility cart available. I will provide all the wood you need for a campfire. As well as a water source located at the field. Approximately 7 kilometers of trail and counting. Bring your dog so long as it is behaved. You’ll be able to bike directly from here all the way to Bradbury Mountain state park and back (about 3-4 hrs) or easily drive to multiple trail networks. Pineland Farms located 1 mile away. 15 minutes to Bradbury Mountain state park. 20 minutes to Freeport Maine and LL Bean. 30 minute drive to downtown Portland. 10 minute drive to the nearest store. You’ll be all by yourself out there but close enough to hear the road nearby. You may see people riding a bike down on the main trail but you’ll be all set on top of the camp hill. I’ve created this one awesome refined site. There’s a lot of room here and plenty of spots for primitive camping. Don’t hesitate to contact me with questions.

It started years ago my sister and I stayed in a yurt at a campground in Oregon. That was it. I was hooked so I got one. There is something magical about staying in a round structure in the trees. My love of nature and comfort drove me to create this special place to be able to share it with others.
My TreeYurt is a platform built high in the trees so it essentially like a treehouse but with a yurt instead. It is located in the back part of my property surrounded by woods. In the spring there is a small stream running nearby. The land is somewhat sloped yet comfortable.
There are apple orchards nearby and many hiking trails a short distance away as well as Portland a mere 15 minutes.
The kitchenette has a small fridge a toaster oven a coffee maker a cook top with two burners pots pans utensils plates and bowls and kitchen towels as well a propane grill outside.
There is a wood stove for heating in the winter as well as a monitor heater that makes it very cozy for chilly nights. The yurt is insulated so it is a great year round glamping (glorified camping) adventure. I provide fire some wood for the wood stove inside but the camp fire wood for the outdoor fire pit is $8 per bundle.
The outhouse has a dry flush toilet and instructions at located in the yurt and out house. There is seasonal running hot and cold water (May through October) for the outdoor sink which is available for use for dishwashing and a bit of cleaning up. Also an outdoor shower is available for use May through October and biodegradable soaps and shampoo are provided. I provide gallons of drinking water and dishwashing water for the colder months inside the yurt with dish tubs sponges and soap.
Any questions please ask. We are happy to help :)

Forty five years ago, our family started assembling 400 acres of woods and fields on the banks of the beautiful Androscoggin River. We enjoy actively managing the property for wildlife habitat and tree growth. The diverse landscape includes over 1/2 a mile of river frontage, a 10 acre wildlife pond, rolling hills in the meadows and steep forested terrain with more than 10 miles of multi-use trails running throughout. Our lands have long been open to local hikers, bikers and cross country skiers, we are excited to share this beautiful property with a larger community. Scout for wildlife and birds, on our private 400 acres of forests and fields. Tire yourself by hiking, mountain biking, snowshoeing, or cross country skiing the 10 miles of private trails. Located across the river from Riverlands State Park, just minutes from Lewiston-Auburn, Bates College, local breweries and just 2 1/2 hours from Boston. Wildlife abounds both on the property and across the river at Androscoggin Riverlands State Park.Quite often, a gentle breeze off the water will offer relief from black flies and mosquitoes, but the right bug repellent is recommended especially to fend off those pesky ticks that are so common in Maine.

My step Dad Bob ‘discovered’ the island in the 1970’s when he was escaping the rat race and looking to get ‘back to the land’. Over the course of three years he built the island house by floating cedar logs across the bay, using a come-along to bring the up to the land, debarked and prepped them for building and set about constructing his off-grid, solar powered home. All without power tools.
Both my Mom and Bob were ardent environmentalists and peace advocates. For 20 years they lived year-round on the island and only left when their ages made it difficult to continue cutting/splitting/moving/burning wood and just the ordeal of living so remotely. Most visitors to the island agree the peaceful vibe continues and that is important to us.

A one word review would truly represent The Queens Property on Thomas Pond; IDEAL! Daniel, the host, was extremely accommodating to our last minute getaway. The site is perfectly laid out for RV ease and convenience. The trails to the pond and dock made our dogs so happy and they thoroughly tuckered out swimming. We will be returning without a doubt.

What a blessing to have stayed here. We loved meeting John and learning about the land. The campsite was perfect for our suv tent. Outhouse was clean and close to site. We loved taking the canoe out and lost count of the amount of fish we caught. We loved listening to the wildlife and watching the loons. We are forever grateful to have stayed here and thank John for his generosity and hospitality and to him and his family for sharing such a beautiful piece of paradise with us. It was a truly magical experience we will not soon forget. Can’t wait to go back!

This was our second time staying at Waters Edge, and we continue to be impressed by the site. The bunkhouse is both spacious and cozy, with spectacular morning views of the water.
The hosts have truly thought of everything you might need - from a first aid kit, cribbage board, and hand sanitizer to kindling and even additional tent space. We always joke that we could show up with just clothes and food and be completely set for the weekend with everything provided.
Our favorite amenity is the kayaks, we really appreciate not having to pack our own. This is a trip I look forward to every year, and I highly recommend it for first-time campers, experienced outdoors enthusiasts, and everyone in between

I had a wonderful stay on John’s property. The site was high above the banks of The Mighty Androscoggin River. We drove across a huge field to get to there, it had a lovely fire pit and a well placed porta potty. There were some great trails and excellent bird watching. What impressed me most was John’s foresight in acquiring the land, parcel by parcel to preserve the open space and natural landscape. It’s very precious I’ll be back.

I would recommend this site to anyone looking for a beautiful place to spend time and relax. I hope to be back someday!

Absolutely fantastic! The space was wonderful and well groomed. Sarah and Andrew are utterly lovely and were very responsive (immediately brought us more water, etc). The toilet was wacky but super fun. Would highly recommend!

I stayed at site number one. I got a great welcome when I got there, the parking spot for that site was very close to the entrance. The site was level, spacious for all my needs. Road traffic was very minimal. Maybe one car every half an hour or an hour. This would be a great place to bring kids, their dogs are super friendly and very calm. The other sites are very wooded and secluded. I went in the spring in late April, but going there in the summer would be great with the farmers market and everything in full bloom and growing. A super place to stay.

This was the perfect romantic getaway for us. It had everything we needed to cook, clean, stay warm, and relax. Would love to come back one day in the summer.

I had an amazing time, will definitely be coming back. Absolutely beautiful peace of land. The tiny home is well appointed and comfortable. John is an excellent host and took time to explain the history of the land when I arrived, which really added to my appreciation of the place during my time there. Thanks to John and family for stewarding this land and sharing it with others

Overview
About
Bradbury Mountain is a small, glacial mountain in southern Maine. Although it is less than 500 feet tall, Bradbury makes up for in beauty what it lacks in stature. Expansive views are stunning in every single season. Grab your camera and heat out to Bradbury during fall foliage for views that will leave you breathless. In the spring, you can experience the massive hawk migration, when these awesome raptors return to Maine and ride the thermals over Bradbury Mountain. Not to be left out, summer and winter offer their own charms, in the form of some serious hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, skiing, and snowshoeing. Just a half hour drive from Portland, this little mountain is the perfect respite from city life.

Short drive to the ocean and a few minute walk to the mountain. The mountain can be submitted in 10 mins or an hour. I took the hour route and it was a beautiful walk and the view is gorgeous. Only complaint is the campsites are very close together without much privacy.
