Position your next venture at the former Merriland Farm Café, a long-established Wells landmark overlooking Merriland Farm Golf Course. Ideally located just minutes from I-95, Route One, and the beaches, this property combines visibility, character, and versatility—perfect for hospitality, food service, retail, or mixed-use investment. Originally a 1700s farmhouse later converted into a thriving café, the building retains its classic New England charm while remaining fully configured and equipped for restaurant operations. Features include a commercial kitchen layout, multiple dining rooms with two propane fireplaces, and an inviting wrap-around patio shaded by mature oak trees. The open floor plan and graceful spiral staircase create a warm, welcoming atmosphere that adapts easily to concepts such as a café, bakery, tasting room, or boutique event venue. For those seeking flexibility, the property also offers strong adaptive reuse potential. According to the Wells Code Office, it may be eligible for conversion back to residential use—with the possibility of an attached accessory dwelling unit (ADU)—subject to applicable permitting and code approval. This opens the door for live/work models, owner-occupied business use, or mixed-income redevelopment. Set on a scenic parcel with both front patio seating and a sunny backyard suitable for events, gardens, or expansion, this property invites creativity and vision. Whether you plan to re-establish a beloved local café, launch a new hospitality concept, or repurpose the structure for professional or residential use, 557 Coles Hill Road offers an exceptional blend of location, legacy, and opportunity in one of southern Maine's most desirable communities.
