Set overlooking Merriland Farm Golf Course and just minutes from I-95, Route One, and Wells' beaches, this former berry farm and café offers a rare blend of character, flexibility, and future potential. Originally built as a farmhouse and later converted into a successful café, the property is currently configured and equipped for restaurant use, while also offering possible residential or mixed-use opportunities.
According to the Wells Code Office, the property could be converted back to residential use, with the potential for an attached accessory dwelling unit, subject to applicable permitting and code requirements. This creates multiple paths for the next owner, including continued hospitality use, a live/work concept, or an adaptive reuse that blends residential and commercial function.
Inside, two propane fireplaces framed in classic brick create a warm and inviting feel, while the spiral staircase adds distinctive architectural charm. The open layout offers flexibility for dining, gatherings, business use, or future redesign. Outside, the spacious front patio is shaded by mature oak trees and enjoys views of the golf course, while the sunny backyard provides space for gardens, outdoor seating, a fire pit area, or other creative uses.
For a buyer with vision, this property is more than a former café or potential home. It is a unique opportunity. Also listed as a commercial listing. MLS#1662310
