Investment Highlights

  • Desirable Location, Multi-Use Property, Reputable Business Since 1977, Acreage to Develop

Executive Summary

Welcome to Mainescape, a one-stop garden center for local gardeners and pet owners, as well as a community gathering place for events and locally grown produce since 1977.

Customers stop in for a locally baked pastry and wander through the fresh local produce and large selection of plants, rugs, pet supplies, soils, fertilizers, seeds, tools, pots, and whimsical yard art!

Three centuries of architecture, tightly, but graciously woven together, in a park-like setting in the middle of the new commercial and public hub on the Blue Hill Peninsula. The owners are ready to retire and see a new owner expanding upon all the potential of this prime commercial property.
Blue Hill’s location is ideal for customers from not only the Blue Hill Peninsula, but Bar Harbor and Mount Desert Island, Ellsworth, Bangor, and from all of the quaint coastal towns dotting Route 1, who are looking not just for beautiful plants and goods, but a wonderful experience in a beautiful setting!
