Description
The former Merriland Farm Café is a long-established Wells landmark overlooking Merriland Farm Golf Course, offering the combination restaurant operators look for but rarely find: proven location, visibility, character, and flexibility--all minutes from I-95, Route One, and the beaches. Originally a 1700s farmhouse later converted into a successful café, the building retains authentic New England charm while remaining fully configured for restaurant operations. A commercial kitchen, multiple dining rooms, two propane fireplaces, an open floor plan, and a graceful spiral staircase create a warm, destination-style atmosphere that adapts easily to a café, bakery, tasting room, wine bar, or boutique event venue. Outside, a wrap-around patio shaded by mature oak trees and a sunny backyard provide additional revenue potential through outdoor dining, private events, or seasonal programming. For operators thinking beyond a single use, this property offers meaningful upside. Per the Wells Code Office, the structure may be eligible for conversion back to residential use with the potential for an attached ADU (subject to approvals), supporting live/work ownership, owner-occupied business models, or long-term mixed-use value. Expand without starting from scratch. Own instead of lease. Build equity while running your business. Whether you're launching a second location or repositioning a proven concept, 557 Coles Hill Road delivers location, legacy, and immediate opportunity in one of southern Maine's most desirable communities.
