Property details
About 6 Benson Rd
With over 1,000 feet of striking oceanfront, including a deepwater dock on the Fox Island Thorofare, Wooster Farm is one of North Haven's most iconic and historic saltwater farms. Set on approximately 9 acres, the property offers sweeping views across rolling fields, lush gardens, and open lawn that extend directly to the water's edge. Anchoring the shoreline is a beautiful beach on Wooster Cove with panoramic sunset views over the Camden Hills, as well as significant frontage along the highly coveted Fox Island Thorofare. The property's provenance includes ownership by American Impressionist painter Frank W. Benson, whose most celebrated works often featured his family enjoying these very fields and beaches during their summers on North Haven. The farm includes a seasonal, five-bedroom Federal-style farmhouse, rich with sunlight and character. Highlights include a first-floor primary suite, two wood-burning fireplaces, original wide-board wood floors, and the preserved hand-painted mural by Benson himself in the living room — a true centerpiece of the home. Additional structures include a charming two-bedroom guest cottage, a clay tennis court, and a boathouse adjacent to the deepwater dock. The dramatic post-and-beam barn — where Benson painted — has been beautifully restored and still bears the original paint splashes from his work. Wooster Farm is a rare offering — rich in history, beauty, and significance — and presents an extraordinary opportunity for the next steward of this remarkable property.
