E.B. White’s Historic Farm Listed For $3.7 Million

The property is located in a small town

called Brooklin, about a three-hour drive northeast of Portland, Maine. The 44-acre home is privately situated away from the center of town. The farm is set on a rural Maine landscape and was listed on the National Register of Historic places in 1986 because it “reflects the period of its most famous occupant, E. B. White,” stated the nomination form.
The main house has five bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms and six fireplaces to survive winter by the shore.
The most notable feature of the exterior is the garden. Katharine White was an avid gardener who even wrote books about her hobby, according to Ms. Dischinger. Mrs. Gallant, too, maintained the gardens well and the were features on many garden tours.
