This is an interesting property! Twin Springs Farm was built in 1850. It began as a cabin down by the stream. It was moved and added onto. It is located on 1.74 acres in Union, Maine. The house needs work, but I kind of like the rustic feel of it. There are wide plank wood floors. Love that huge barn. The property is part of the Twin Springs Farm Land Association, which has 100 acres of recreational and agricultural land. There are six shares on the land. Each homeowner has their house and lot, then the additional acreage is shared. Hunt, farm, graze animals or hike. There is a swimming hole on the property. Three bedrooms, one bathroom and 1,100 square feet. $250,000

From the Zillow listing:
Welcome to Twin Springs Farm, a pre-Revolutionary War era homestead that began as a cabin down by the stream and is now this magnificent post and beam cape with attached barn. Big house, little house, back house, barn! This property is part of the Twin Springs Farm Land Association encompassing over 100 acres of pristine recreational and agricultural land. There are six shares on the land, and each shareholder owns their own house and lot under it, plus an undivided interest in the remaining 100 or so acres. Hunt, fish, walk, ski, camp, graze your animals, and live the good life. There is a beautiful swimming hole on Quiggle Brook, hayfields, and an orchard. There are no dues or fees for the association, but members cooperatively decide on things and it’s a great way to have access to a lot of land with a laid-back approach. There are some restrictions to use, such as no dirtbikes or ATVs recreationally, no pesticides, no building on the shared land, but, there are few parcels this gorgeous and protected left. The barn foundation does need work, the south side of the barn needs re-shingling, and the front clapboards of the house need some fixing and painting, but the owner has done many systems updates including a new furnace, new water system, new electrical, and renovations inside the home. It’s super cozy, complete with a wood cookstove and a Reliant wood stove as well. If you have horses or chickens or goats, this is the place. Within close distance of Camden and Rockland, arts, shopping, and beaches, yet in your own slice of paradise.
