Property Description

Beyond the gate and winding drive, the H.E. Hall Homestead presents a rare opportunity to acquire an established hospitality property with deep historical roots and significant expansion potential. Operating for years as the Chandler River Inn, this circa-1797 Colonial sits on approximately 14 acres overlooking a private pond, open fields, and distant views of the Chandler River. The property includes five guest rooms currently utilized during the busy season, offering immediate lodging income potential. Inside, original character remains remarkably intact, with hardwood floors, vintage wallpaper, and two fireplaces creating the authentic New England atmosphere sought by travelers and destination guests alike. A full commercial kitchen remains in place from the property's years operating as both an inn and restaurant, providing infrastructure for hospitality, event, catering, farm-to-table, or retreat-based operations. With 3,018 square feet, five bedrooms, and six baths, the main building is well-positioned for continued inn use, corporate retreats, wellness programs, executive lodging, or a private event venue. The grounds are equally compelling. A private pond, expansive open acreage, and complete privacy from neighboring properties create an ideal setting for weddings, retreats, outdoor gatherings, and experiential hospitality ventures. Two additional outbuildings offer valuable storage or the potential for conversion into guest accommodations, studio space, offices, or event-support facilities, subject to local approvals. Historic properties with established commercial use, substantial acreage, existing hospitality infrastructure, and this level of preserved character are increasingly difficult to find in Downeast Maine. The H.E. Hall Homestead offers a unique blend of heritage, income potential, and future development opportunity.
