THE BARN

With its two-and-a-half-story vaulted ceiling and 1,800 square feet of entertaining space, Walnut Hill’s barn accommodates up to 200 guests, depending on layout and event flow. Topped by its historic rooftop cupola, the post-and-beam structure is softly illuminated by hand-wrought chandeliers and sconces, lending the space a warmth that feels distinctly New England.

Imbued with classic Maine style, the sophisticated 3,000-square-foot farmhouse offers fully furnished accommodations that feel serene, spacious, and romantic.

THE GROUNDS

Walnut Hill’s meticulously manicured grounds are layered with intricate perennial gardens and shaded by mature trees, giving the estate its signature sense of intimacy and classic New England charm across spring, summer, and fall. Two distinct tenting locations allow couples to shape the flow of the celebration with ease—one just off the granite patio for cocktails, and another nestled within the evergreen grove for a beautifully tented dinner.

The woodland ceremony grove is the heart of the property: a peaceful, canopy-covered setting reached by a winding boardwalk, and often the place that stays with clients long after their first visit.
