Sanctuary Farm Properties



About Sanctuary Farm

Sanctuary Farm offers something different from the usual densely developed 1 or 2 acre lots. It is truly a unique place –– a retired farm, entirely within a wildlife sanctuary, with spectacular views, thousands of feet of frontage on Rangeley Lake, within the town of Rangeley, yet quiet and secluded. The challenge behind Sanctuary Farm was to allow folks to enjoy this beautiful setting without ruining it –– and, judging by our success, it looks like we have done it.

Small Development – Large Lots
The entire Sanctuary Farm development is under 130 acres, and with only 14 total lots, Sanctuary Farm is a small development of large lots. The four remaining lots offer gorgeous views of Rangeley Lake and the mountains, as well as waterfront and/or deeded access to a shared waterfront area. Lot 2, at 5.11 acres, is offered at $299K. Lot 6, at 12.1 acres, is offered at $279K. Lot 10, at 6.21 acres, is offered at $219,000. Lot 12, at 8.46 acres (but lower on the hill) is offered at $199,000.

What's in a Name?
The name Sanctuary Farm is derived from the fact that the entire development is situated in a wildlife sanctuary (no hunting) that includes a retired farm. Much of the development is in state-designated deer wintering habitat.

Carefully Placed Building Envelopes
To preserve the character of the land, to minimize impact on the deer wintering habitat, to provide an assurance of continued privacy, and to minimize impact on site lines, most lots have deeded building envelopes that specify where owners can build. These building envelopes were carefully designated in conjunction with the Maine Department of Fisheries and Wildlife to balance the needs of wildlife with the reasonable requirements of property owners. We're very pleased with the locations of these building envelopes, which consistently offer the best possible views for each lot, without obstructing the views from other lots.

Waterfront
Lot 2 has ~351 feet of waterfront on Rangeley Lake's Hunter Cove, and lot 6 has ~450 feet. Lots 10 and 12 have deeded access to a footpath and shared space on Hunter Cove that includes a dock and picnic area.

No Further Subdivision of Lots
The lots on Sanctuary Drive range in size from 5.11 acres to 13.19 acres and are deeded such that they may never be subdivided, assuring that owners who choose one of these lots will never be faced with a sudden bevy of additional neighbors.

Deeded Covenants
To accomplish the goals outlined above, each deed includes covenants to protect the buyer's, seller's, and neighbors' rights. A complete listing of the covenants are available HERE.
