Old Blake Farm Easement

Conservation Easement

July 23, 2020

Old Blake Farm in Brownfield, Maine is a historic 95-acre farm on Old County Road near the Stone Mountain Art Center. The farm has been owned by four friends and their families for nearly 50 years. The original Blake Family Homestead survived the Brownfield Fire of 1947 and still exists onsite. Over the decades, the farm's woodlands have been sustainably managed and this conservation easement allows for continued sustainable forestry. This easement also supports continued agricultural use of the land and maintenance of the fields, affording expansive views from Old County Road to Mount Chocorua and the White Mountains to the west.

We are extremely grateful to the owners of Old Blake Farm, who had this to say about conserving their land:

“From the time we purchased our property 50 years ago, we intended to preserve and conserve the land for wildlife habitat, ecologically sound forest management, and as a retreat and creative gathering place for family and friends. We now believe those long-term goals can best be realized by working with the Upper Saco Valley Land Trust.”

The generosity of the easement donors ensures that this corner of Brownfield will remain much as it is now - for generations to come.
