Welcome to the North Chester Orchard, a working apple orchard, Christmas Tree farm, and acres of pumpkin patch, owned and operated by the same owners since its inception in 1989. This setting on 70+- groomed acres, with a meticulously maintained historic New England Farmhouse, is something you would see in a Hallmark movie. The agricultural land and woodlands of this property are the perfect example of good stewardship and its obvious the labor of love that has gone into the property over the last 33 years. Once you see this property, you will understand why people travel from all over this part of Maine to pick their own apples, pick a pumpkin and return weeks later for a beautiful Christmas Tree.

I am kinda sad to see the LeBrun’s sell their farm. 😢 I have visited the farm for apple picking and this farm is absolutely gorgeous.
The LeBrun’s are wonderful people. I am very confident that this farm will sell at its listed price.
If you want a property in Maine, this is it!
Excellent showing of an incredible couple who made a wonderful estate. I hope this sells to someone who keeps it going for another 30 years
It's my dream place! I love Apple orchard
What a beautiful dream property!
Now I know why you had the "teaser" preview. What a wonderful property. I hope the new buyers appreciate the farm, and be good stewards of the homestead who will respect the history of the place.
I love this couple! Fantastic land…
I’m in a trance just imagining myself owning this beautiful farm.
I’d like to know more about the business side and it’s potential income if possible. I will telephone you for further information. It’s truly beautiful and the irrigation system takes a lot of the guessing out of the potential variations in crop yield. With room for explanation I’m really excited to arrange a visit. I’m hoping that there’s somewhere to stay nearby as this can’t be done in a day or two to fully understand the business as it currently stands and any additional facilities that would be juxtaposed to the existing property.
Thank you all so much for your tour of the farm. You definitely have one interest party.
Wishing you all a happy Thanksgiving and a very Merry Christmas 🎄 🎄🎄💕💫
It was worth the wait. Great execution on capturing the essence of this property and the people who have maintained it’s beauty serene.
What a beautiful well kept farm. You can tell a lot of love for the farm, nature, family activities that they provide year round. I hope someone buys it and puts as much love and care as the present owners have done for years. I am sure it will be hard for them to leave but I wish them well. Wish I was young, I would snatch it up in a heartbeat.
Beautiful land and business. Everything is laid out for the new owners. Bless this couple and their future retirement!
That is soooo British! California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia we don't really have that much British influence in California. It is absolutely interesting to see and hear parts of the east coast, Its almost as if when your there you don't notice the difference any more. The apples around California really need more hours of cold so the cold must make for more rested better flavored apples. Its a beautiful knowing that fruit and nut bearing trees need 500, 700 and 1000 hours of cold to vernaliz. Also interesting experience to know how British the east coast is, Bangor is India. Such an amazing process of understanding that the east coast and west coast are connected. Kingsman Arizona for example is obvious so much of the founding of landmarks were British.
Those are the smallest Apple trees I've ever seen , aren't they supposed to be at least twenty feet tall ? This is a beautiful property , but this is obviously a newer indevour , is this a good thing or bad?
Narrated like a story book, a little piece of heaven here on Earth! Thank you for showcasing this historical land and home! The beautifully maintained acreage and it's business output is glorious! Many blessings to this lovely couple and a giant sized "thank you" for showing all of us the true meaning of the "American Dream!!"
What an amazing field trip you took us on! Just an absolutely beautiful place! I hope that it finds new stewards that will carry on and take care of it just like this couple did! Just amazing!!
Wow! A beautiful, well cared for farm! I wish I was fifty years younger! You need a lot of strength and hard work to keep this place beautiful!
These video's are priceless historical moments.
It`s a shame their kids dont want to carry on with what they've built. Very nice set up.
Love the owners and the Farm. One of the best real estate tour presentation I've seen. Great job peter.
So glad my dream was fulfilled by someone else. In 1984 I drew out my dream farm, very much like this and kept thinking some day soon. Now it isn't possible to do on that scale and Long covid crimped gardening even in town plot. Thank you for giving me a sense of YES, I wasn't crazy, just too scared to make the jumps.
A young family would benefit from this.
Outstanding! I am so interested and currently hamster wheeling out how I can do this? Investment people I have 1/2 the cash and lots of ambition.
I am a farmer.. it's wild how expensive a property is these days.. how are we going to be able to keep a farm like this going if you have to be rich to be able to farm? Even with a hefty down payment and incredible credit my partner and I cant even buy land. I have the work ethic to be able to run a successful farm and have been for the last 10 years. We have been looking in Maine for years. I managed a farm there and started a farm on rented land in Blue Hill and did really well. Still on the look out. We are interested in this but just cant afford it. Sad. We are looking for land with woods and open field to build a house at this point since we can afford something like this. Will be extremely sad to see this land land into the wrong hands..
United Country Lifestyle Properties of Maine Absolutely stunning, thank-you sir for taking the time to bring us along. GOD Bless..
Beautiful perfectly cared for farm. Hope someone continues its operation.
As a former forester myself, I have to say "Wow" what a well managed and maintained property. This video was very well made and informative, and I especially loved the landowners involvement. Unfortunately, it's about $250 – $300K more than I can afford. I will have to start playing the lottery so I can purchase it! It was absolutely beautiful.
My wife and I were talking about how we could work from home and cover our cost of living. I turned on TV and this was starting
