Welcome to the Parson Smith Homestead, a historically preserved 1764 home located on 124 acres of hayfields, forest, and river frontage. Formerly a house museum, it is a textbook example of colonial architecture. Featuring an interior finished in stages that depicts 4 distinct architectural periods; Georgian, Federal, Greek Revival, and Victorian. The grand staircase is flanked by formal parlors and the original hearth kitchen. Walking the wide-planked flooring, you step through the generations to sit by the fireplaces that warmed the prominent family who worked the original farm. The attic and basement are equally impressive, displaying hand hewn timbers and arched brickwork. Modern comforts have been added over the years, including the modern kitchen, baths, electrical, and forced hot water boiler. In addition to the carriage house, there is a detached 1810-1820 barn, salvaged from another historic Windham site, it was thoughtfully labeled, disassembled, moved to the property, and lovingly re-erected. The property consists of three open fields, presently managed and hayed by a local dairy farm. At the field's edge, amongst Maple trees tapped for syrup, a local beekeeper is cultivating queens in colorful hive boxes. The forest is held in tree-growth protection. On the river-side of the property, the land stretches down to water frontage on the Presumpscot River and surrounds the historic Smith-Anderson cemetery which is owned by the town of Windham and accessed by deeded easement. Complimenting the existing private trails, the Mountain Division Trail system is slated to expand along the existing railbed. The house is set amongst other grand homes on what is known as Windham's Historic Corridor along River Road, the thoroughfare offering an easy commute to Lakes Region recreation and the nearby cities of Westbrook and Portland. Come visit, explore, and fall in love with your new home!
