Waterhouse Farm

Description

The 427-acre Waterhouse Farm, located on North Pownal Road in New Gloucester, has been active for over 100 years and today is primarily a beef cattle farm. The historical property represents an iconic piece of Maine scenery and history and is protected by a Forever Farm agricultural conservation easement held by Royal River Conservation Trust.

Waterhouse Farm is located between two of the Royal River Conservation Trust’s primary focus areas for land conservation: Pisgah Hill in New Gloucester and Runaround Pond in Durham. The conservation of Waterhouse Farm is helping to connect precious unfragmented land blocks thereby protecting natural habitat.

Currently, Waterhouse Farm is primarily a beef cattle farm. You can drive through the farm on North Pownal Road and take in the scenery and see the cattle, but Waterhouse Farm is very much a working farm and isn’t set up for visitors.
