Summary
Maple Lane Farm is a working, small diversified farm specializing in minor livestock breeds such as Belted Galloway cattle, Percheron Draft horses and Aracauna chickens.
Enjoy a restful stay in the restored ell of an 1800's center chimney colonial home. Or stay in the cottage near the three story barn. Stroll down the lane lined by century old maples, discover the playful spring lambs on the pastures, take a hike, cross country ski, gaze at the stars or listen for the song of a coyote.
Wildlife are still abundant in this area of Maine. We are pretty sure a moose once walked though our fence line as the tracks were way too large to be a deer. We can hear loons from nearby ponds and we have seen and heard many species of owls once the evening settles in. Every year we wait for the peepers (tree frogs) to come out heralding the beginning of spring. We can always find an assortment of frogs, toads, newts and salamanders as well when we set out to look for them. There is always an abundance of migratory birds during the good weather with crows, ravens, bluejays and chickadees always present in the winter.
There are gardens, orchards, woods and pastures which surround this 50 acre estate. There is an exceptional view and you may indeed hear a loon, or a great horned owl. Your hosts, Bill and Robbi Portela also invite you to visit Maple Lane Gallery, where you will find exceptional stoneware pottery, fine gifts and antiques.
