About this property

Unimaginably Beautiful Frank Benson’s 18 Acre Oceanfront Farmhouse Tennis Estate


Discover the magic of Wooster Farm, an enchanting historic property with a storied past and breathtaking charm. Once the residence of renowned American painter Frank W. Benson, this stunning center-chimney white clapboard farmhouse promises an unforgettable escape and a perfect setting for weddings.

The main house comfortably accommodates up to 13 guests, while the separate "Honeymoon Cottage," perfect for four, can be rented for $3,500 a week. The property has been thoughtfully updated to be ADA-compliant, featuring a spacious downstairs master bedroom with a King bed, wheelchair access, and a large, modern ADA-qualified bathroom.

Imagine creating memories in the enormous post & beam barn that once served as Benson's art studio, where the walls still bear traces of his iconic brushstrokes. Venture down to the long pier and float for a day of boating or swimming, or explore the two private beaches perfect for picnics, sea glass hunting, and admiring stunning sunsets.
For tennis enthusiasts, the property boasts a unique clay tennis court with ocean views and refreshing breezes. Enjoy the serene waterfront setting, watch sailboats and lobster boats glide across Penobscot Bay, and let the tranquil ambiance captivate you. Take scenic bike rides along the coast, or embark on a boating adventure to fully appreciate the breathtaking surroundings.

Blissful natural beauty in North Haven Maine
Staying at Wooster Farm is a dream. Our family all got together to enjoy this scenic large private property on North Haven Island. We ate lobsters, played on the front lawn, boated and relaxed. Absolutely loved it.
