An exceptional opportunity to acquire Bliss Farm Inn, an established bed-and-breakfast and a remarkable piece of Maine history. Set on 5.34 acres in Durham, this distinctive hospitality property combines historic character, thoughtfully restored accommodations, and an established guest experience with the opportunity to continue a cherished innkeeping tradition. Traditionally dated to circa 1772, the historic Bagley-Bliss House is recognized on the National Register of Historic Places. The beautifully appointed farmhouse features five guest bedrooms, each with a private bath, original woodwork, pine floors, four fireplaces, and a charming beehive oven. Guests enjoy the inviting great room anchored by the original hearth, library, dining room, and welcoming common spaces that create a memorable New England country inn experience. The operating business offers a foundation for continued success, with established booking activity and repeat guests who appreciate the inn's personalized hospitality, peaceful rural setting, and farm-to-table breakfasts. The property also includes a period-reproduction carriage house with three suites and a spacious gathering room, offering additional flexibility for guest accommodations, retreats, workshops, or other approved uses. The carriage house is fully permitted and first floor ADA compliant. Ideally positioned within convenient reach of Bowdoin College in Brunswick and Bates College in Lewiston, the inn is well situated to serve visiting families, alumni, faculty, and guests attending campus events, along with travelers exploring southern Maine. Freeport, Brunswick, Portland, and Auburn provide additional draws for shopping, dining, recreation, and regional travel. A rare opportunity to step into an operating hospitality business while preserving an important piece of Maine's heritage. Continue the inn's established tradition, build on its guest relationships, and make this extraordinary property your next venture.
