Welcome to the North Chester Orchard, a working apple orchard, Christmas Tree farm, and acres of pumpkin patch, owned and operated by the same owners since its inception in 1989. This setting on 70+- groomed acres, with a meticulously maintained historic New England Farmhouse, is something you would see in a Hallmark movie. The agricultural land and woodlands of this property are the perfect example of good stewardship and its obvious the labor of love that has gone into the property over the last 33 years. Once you see this property, you will understand why people travel from all over this part of Maine to pick their own apples, pick a pumpkin and return weeks later for a beautiful Christmas Tree.

My great grandparents home. My dad was raised here. Great property Pete!
Wow.
I’d love to hear more about this property back in the days if you are able 😊
lucky man
It would be nice to have kept it int he family. What a great place to have grown up. Wow !
I spent so many days in Chester! Minnie Whitney was my grand mother
Magnificent!!! I'm blown away! The hard work this couple has done is incredible. A true labor of love.
Thank you Jameson. Allen and Jane reclaimed the fields by hand 30+ years ago. I had the same impression as you on my first day at the farm.
Couldn't agree more!
My wife and I were talking about how we could work from home and cover our cost of living. I turned on TV and this was starting
😁
How about a house to live in with two cabins to rent to cover your cost of living? I may have just the place.
Beautiful perfectly cared for farm. Hope someone continues its operation.
Us too!
Now I know why you had the "teaser" preview. What a wonderful property. I hope the new buyers appreciate the farm, and be good stewards of the homestead who will respect the history of the place.
Yes sir. I agree with you and I am confident we will find a new owner that will carry on the LeBrun traditions
What a beautiful well kept farm. You can tell a lot of love for the farm, nature, family activities that they provide year round. I hope someone buys it and puts as much love and care as the present owners have done for years. I am sure it will be hard for them to leave but I wish them well. Wish I was young, I would snatch it up in a heartbeat.
Beautiful land and business. Everything is laid out for the new owners. Bless this couple and their future retirement!
probably they move to warmer climate Florida or Mexico!!!
Yessss! bless this sweet couple! 💕
Narrated like a story book, a little piece of heaven here on Earth! Thank you for showcasing this historical land and home! The beautifully maintained acreage and it's business output is glorious! Many blessings to this lovely couple and a giant sized "thank you" for showing all of us the true meaning of the "American Dream!!"
This was, by far, the most interesting real estate video I've ever watched! Thank you for sharing all of the fascinating details of the property, along with the owners' intricate knowledge of his & her land.
Thank you for watching. It is an amazing property.
As a former forester myself, I have to say "Wow" what a well managed and maintained property. This video was very well made and informative, and I especially loved the landowners involvement. Unfortunately, it's about $250 - $300K more than I can afford. I will have to start playing the lottery so I can purchase it! It was absolutely beautiful.
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video. I agree, Allen and Jane made the video. You can see their love for the farm and they are a pleasure to work with.
Hi same problem here not enough money!!!
This was so sweet! The owners! the property! I mean, it just made me joyful, filled with joy, to see this! 🥰 The authenticity is radiating love and positivity! A dream property! 🍎🌲🎃
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love this couple! Fantastic land…
These video's are priceless historical moments.
Wow! A beautiful, well cared for farm! I wish I was fifty years younger! You need a lot of strength and hard work to keep this place beautiful!
Right?
lots of work for sure farmer here
HA, Mr. Lebrun I’m also a forester & that sounds like my dream too!!! If I wasn’t down & out with Lyme Disease, I’d jump all over this!!! Beautiful property!!! I hope you & your wife have a wonderful retirement!!!
Thanks for watching Julianne. Are you a forester in Maine? What a great job!
The owners came to the right guy to market it!
Thank you Adam.
Thanks for sharing Adam.
I spent a lot of time at this farm as a kid;It was my great grandparents farm. We used to slide on that big hill they on the toboggan and it was one of the best hills ever! Getting back to the top took awhile though😊 My dad grew up on this farm, along with his aunts and uncles. I always think about Grammys molasses cookies and the smell of the wood stove when I think of those days. Nothing but great memories there and it's so amazing to see all the things the Lebruns have done. And great video Peter!
Such a shame that you can't keep it in the family. I hope a builder doesn't get his claws on it.
*United Country Lifestyle Properties of Maine* Absolutely stunning, thank-you sir for taking the time to bring us along. GOD Bless..
As always thanks for the kind comments.
@@lifestyleproperties Up early !!
Love the owners and the Farm. One of the best real estate tour presentation I've seen. Great job peter.
Thank you.
Spectacular piece of property. Thank you for such a thorough showing.
Our pleasure!
Probably the most enjoyable hour I’ve watched on Maine properties. I’d buy the dvd if offered 😊 . Alan & his wife Jane’s narration is so interesting sharing the workings of the Farm. Wish them happiness in their next location.
Glad you enjoyed it
What a beautiful dream property!
I worked on an apple orchard for my first job. This is a dream of mine. Got to go buy a lottery ticket.
It`s a shame their kids dont want to carry on with what they've built. Very nice set up.
Such a beautiful property with obvious love and care in its maintenance. What an excellent presentation as well.
Allen and Jane are true stewards of the land. Thank you for the kind words.
So glad my dream was fulfilled by someone else. In 1984 I drew out my dream farm, very much like this and kept thinking some day soon. Now it isn't possible to do on that scale and Long covid crimped gardening even in town plot. Thank you for giving me a sense of YES, I wasn't crazy, just too scared to make the jumps.
Thanks for watching Cheryl. This is a lot of people’s dream property. Including mine.
It was worth the wait. Great execution on capturing the essence of this property and the people who have maintained it’s beauty serene.
Thank you Lamar
What lovely folks and what a wonderful property. If I was a younger woman and had some money it is certainly a proposition I might entertain.
And, y'all got my mouth watering for a good Macintosh. I live in S.TX now and haven't seen one in years; not even the pithy, tasteless store stock.
Allen and Jane are some of the finest people I've had the pleasure of meeting and their apples are delicious!! Thanks for watching S TX.
I am kinda sad to see the LeBrun’s sell their farm. 😢 I have visited the farm for apple picking and this farm is absolutely gorgeous.
The LeBrun’s are wonderful people. I am very confident that this farm will sell at its listed price.
If you want a property in Maine, this is it!
Thanks for sharing
I am a farmer.. it's wild how expensive a property is these days.. how are we going to be able to keep a farm like this going if you have to be rich to be able to farm? Even with a hefty down payment and incredible credit my partner and I cant even buy land. I have the work ethic to be able to run a successful farm and have been for the last 10 years. We have been looking in Maine for years. I managed a farm there and started a farm on rented land in Blue Hill and did really well. Still on the look out. We are interested in this but just cant afford it. Sad. We are looking for land with woods and open field to build a house at this point since we can afford something like this. Will be extremely sad to see this land land into the wrong hands..
Bill Gates buying land and ruin agriculture
Beautiful property! Sad to see it not going to family. A lot of hard work and family ties in its history.
Excellent showing of an incredible couple who made a wonderful estate. I hope this sells to someone who keeps it going for another 30 years
Us too!
They are amazing people Andrew. I am confident we will find a new owner to carry on the tradition. Thanks for watching.
What an amazing field trip you took us on! Just an absolutely beautiful place! I hope that it finds new stewards that will carry on and take care of it just like this couple did! Just amazing!!
Thanks for watching Michelle.
Beautiful property
Thanks for sharing Margalo!
The apple must to taste amazing!
They are the very best.
What a treasure ❤️ we found this video looking at homes in New England and this is our dream ❤️
Thanks for visiting our channel.
I love that the owner came out and gave a history, that made this so meaningful. Great video!!! Gorgeous property ! I'd love for them to be handy for questions and advice. Charming and knowledgable owners. I am blown away. You did an awesome job !
Thanks so much for sharing.
As a horticulturist...I would give anything for this incredible property.
Thanks for sharing.
i wish i were 20 yrs younger at 59 i couldn't keep up for long
I've hauled asphalt past there...beautiful property
We agree. Thanks for watching Aaron. Have a great thanksgiving.
my folks are looking into this property as i type this. really hope they go through with it. my little girl would love to move there too and grow up in such a great environment.
Awesome. Just awesome.
Thanks a lot 😊
Nice job on the tour of the property !
Thanks 👍
It's my dream place! I love Apple orchard
Mine too. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for watching.
I wish I could afford this place
Wow I ❤ It!
I enjoyed the tour. If I was younger.........
Thanks for watching. Happy thanksgiving.
We have a super small heritage apple orchard and tree homestead in southern AZ… it’s so much work for just 1 acre! This really is my dream, but who can afford the large scale farm and be able to turn a profit? But a beautiful place!
Thanks for watching.
Wow
Love the farm
Great information
Nice video
Thank you
Thanks for watching Cory.
Wow! What a dream come true. Beautiful.
A young family would benefit from this.
Yes they would. Thanks for watching.
Not many young like to farm
Beautiful estate.
Thanks Paul. It is beautiful from start to finish. Allen and Jane have created an amazing property. Reclaimed the fields by hand back 30 plus years ago.
I’m in a trance just imagining myself owning this beautiful farm.
I’d like to know more about the business side and it’s potential income if possible. I will telephone you for further information. It’s truly beautiful and the irrigation system takes a lot of the guessing out of the potential variations in crop yield. With room for explanation I’m really excited to arrange a visit. I’m hoping that there’s somewhere to stay nearby as this can’t be done in a day or two to fully understand the business as it currently stands and any additional facilities that would be juxtaposed to the existing property.
Thank you all so much for your tour of the farm. You definitely have one interest party.
Wishing you all a happy Thanksgiving and a very Merry Christmas 🎄 🎄🎄💕💫
the problem is too expensive
@@irenmolnar221 Until I go through the books and see both income and expenditure I would say that this is premature to speculate about. I see a business that has been managed by the owners to the best of their abilities. The potential for further development cannot be ignored. If then the price is too high it’s time to negotiate with all the information available.
It’s easy to say it’s too expensive but have you done your due diligence and further analysis for expansion?
There’s no doubt that properties are going down in value all over the country but this is not just a home and some land.
Sorry sir but I don’t give a monkeys about your remarks unless you can back them up with factual evidence.
@@lorrieleaver2447 Would love to see this farm continue with some possible business expansion. We have lost so many of these types of farms thru New England. My town, I currently live in and grew up in was a farming community. My first job was working on the local farm. Except for 2 small farms, all farms have sold out to developments of houses. One is a X-mas tree farm and the other is a fresh vegetable farm. That's it, all gone. I sincerely hope it works out for you Lorrie.
@@bigguydiy2184 I feel the same. If it works out then this farm will grow more and needs some hard work something we are not afraid of. My imagination is running rampant with ideas. I’d be horrified if someone else bought it and didn’t maintain the farm and instead built houses for the summer rental market. This needs to be loved and appreciated.
@@bigguydiy2184 Thank you for your support. I understand that someone else is keen however the situation is just as you said. Building houses and another farm going away. I’m determined to make this work and grow as much organic food as possible without spoiling the quality of the soil. It’s just not right to waste the resources that a farm can provide and we all need to eat healthy food that’s not wrapped in plastic and has no nutritional value or taste. Let’s do this ♥️🙏🏻💫
Nice house
Yeah it is
A really great property! 🤠🥰Really lovely people! ☺Can you let them know that we are adoptable, Peter?☺🤔😎😁
😁
That is soooo British! California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia we don't really have that much British influence in California. It is absolutely interesting to see and hear parts of the east coast, Its almost as if when your there you don't notice the difference any more. The apples around California really need more hours of cold so the cold must make for more rested better flavored apples. Its a beautiful knowing that fruit and nut bearing trees need 500, 700 and 1000 hours of cold to vernaliz. Also interesting experience to know how British the east coast is, Bangor is India. Such an amazing process of understanding that the east coast and west coast are connected. Kingsman Arizona for example is obvious so much of the founding of landmarks were British.
yeah and California out of water
I cannot imagine wanting to sell this home/property and go where? It looks great and you can tell the tlc for this home. The workmanship on everything is great. Wish I could :)
Wonderful !!
Glad you like it!
Gorgeous! Such a unique property!
We agree!
The best property i ever seen. I wish i had the time to make the purchase
Thanks for sharing.
I believe I saw dust on the oil tank...shocked, SHOCKED I SAY!
Do we know, can you tell us what the sellers have moved on to, (please, not Fla)? What wonderful people, a great couple who nurtured a super business. The decision is one thing. To actually leave such a grand place must have been tough. Here's hoping the new owners are equally successful.
Outstanding! I am so interested and currently hamster wheeling out how I can do this? Investment people I have 1/2 the cash and lots of ambition.
Thanks for watching.
Wow, is this still on the market? very nice property.
Still available. Call Pete for details at 207-794-4338
Very enticing to leave the rat race. If my kids were older!!
Thanks for sharing Anthony!
Wow
👍
What a beautiful heritage homestead.Not to many like that!Is it sold?
Not yet!
What’s you use for pesticides?
12 hours x 60 minutes x 60 gallons per minute is 43,200 gallons and uses only 3 gallons of gas?!?!
That seems like a lot of water movement for only 3 gallons of gas!
If there was any way on God's green earth that farm would be the Le Brun farm in care of the Reillys. But just having a college degree means nothing. Glad I listened to my elders.
Owner financing??
No owner financing at this time. Thanks for asking.
Can honey bees 🐝 live and thrive here
Yes they can and do.
Is this still available?
It is.
How many acres ?
70
Should be a multi-generation hierloom propery and they are throwing it away.
Kenneth, how do you know the heirs circumstances? Do you know the new owners? Throwing it away is a thoughtless comment.
Those are the smallest Apple trees I've ever seen , aren't they supposed to be at least twenty feet tall ? This is a beautiful property , but this is obviously a newer indevour , is this a good thing or bad?
Walt. You are looking at dwarf and semi dwarf trees that have been carefully pruned so the majority of the apples can be picked without using a ladder. With all do respect you are incorrect in your assessment.
Dear Sr Simonson, we use to have very tall apple and pear trees back in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s in our orchard back in northern Italy. In the early 90’s, as we began to replace the trees because of age and decreased productivity, our agronomist suggested we take a look at this newly developed dwarf trees that actually yielded 40% more and required less work and safer conditions while harvesting. Actually amazing and a game changer that reduced costs. We no longer have pear trees, only Golden Delicious. Very nice place you show in Maine. Love the videos.
Such a shame that none of their children (or other family members) are interested in keeping and working the farm. I guarantee that they'll regret it one day.
**Please don't sell to builders!!!
In my opinion, Macs make the best pies, cakes, breads, etc.
Can't beleive they are selling ths paradise especially when they have children and grand-children. Big mistake.
Keep your hateful comments to yourself
Apples from China taste the best. Biden 2024.
🙄
Beautiful property... Love from a apple growing family in Himalayas
Thanks for watching.
Love from india
Thanks for the 💖
Is it sold yet?
It is under contract.
This farm has a ton of potential for further investment and hard work to bring it back into operation. I was able to glean certain information from the realtor who was involved in this property and I had the funds to do so. Unfortunately I was told initially that I could speak with the owners and ask them some questions about their current business and plans to move. I never received the information I was promised and being in the United Kingdom I was dependent on the realtor to help. I called several times and spoke with two agents who supposedly worked together. The attitude changed immediately and I was denied the number to call the owners or have any further information about the farm or the wetlands and the water system etc. The moving time in April was perfect for us.
They had an offer but it was less than the asking price and we were willing to pay more. I needed the time to organise a flight from the United Kingdom as I am finally returning home but I was simply cut off and unable to get the information I needed to proceed with the purchase.
It’s all very well watching a UA-cam video but I needed to see more which I was assured would be no problem.
I believe that the Realator did not act in the best interests of their clients and now I have trust issues with this company. They just want their commission and as quickly as possible. I do hope that the sellers will have the opportunity to read this and know that they have bad representation and could have sold their property for more. Be careful when buying anything online especially with this company. I’m very let down.
Hi Lorrie, The farm did not need hard work to bring it back into operation per your comment above. It was a meticulous property inside and out. We had a lot of interest in the property and multiple offers. The seller was made aware of your interest in the property but decided to prioritize buyers that had already been to the farm to physically view it. I sent you a detailed property information package on November 21st and more information on November 23rd. I emailed you further information on December 20th and responded to your request to call the owners, which I told you the owners of the farm, Allen and Jane have hired me to handle the sale and to answer any potential buyer's questions on their behalf. Please email me any questions you would like to ask Allen and Jane and I will be happy to answer them.
I am sorry you were not able to organize a flight from the U.K. in the 70 days the home was on the market.
Beautiful property
It sure is
