The Farm House, Historic single-family home in Bar Harbor, Maine.
The Farm House is a historic single-family home in Bar Harbor featuring Colonial Revival design with wood paneling and decorative interior details such as chair rails and crown molding. The property sits on 4.2 acres with a circular gravel driveway bordered by flowering shrubs.
The estate was purchased in 1916 by Robert Hall McCormick for his wife and later passed to their daughter Mildred, who undertook major renovations in the 1920s. These updates shaped much of the home's current appearance.
The garden was designed by landscape architect Beatrix Farrand and features distinct outdoor rooms with different trees and plantings. Today visitors can walk through these thoughtfully arranged garden spaces that invite relaxation and reflection.
The home is located between the main village and Prospect Avenue off Highbrook Road, making it easy to find. Plan your visit when the weather is clear to fully enjoy the outdoor spaces and garden paths.
The formal garden behind the home features pathways enclosed by cedar hedges that lead to flagstone terraces. These structured outdoor areas were designed as spaces for entertaining and gathering.
