Stoney Brook owner halts York property sale, eyes 168‑acre farm expansion
YORK, Maine — Tom Dunn said he was ready to sell the former Coastal Landscaping and Garden Center on Route 1 in York — a property he had purchased just a year earlier — due to a financial crisis beyond his control. In April 2026, he closed the renamed Stoney Brook Farm Store and Garden Center at that location, and the 941 U.S. Route 1 property went under contract to be sold . Dunn said he has since been made whole financially. While he cannot share details about what happened — a situation he said cost him millions — he noted that his main business, Stoney Brook Farm and Landscaping in South Berwick, is recovering and preparing for a big expansion. “It did force me to close the store, which was too bad,” Dunn said. “But everything happens for a reason, right?” Dunn has since taken the former garden center property off the market. He plans to keep the land and take some time to decide what to do with it next. Meanwhile, Dunn is selling his former Stoney Brook Farm Store property at 1680 US Route 1 , which he closed when he moved the store to the garden

You could assume that moving from the hustle and bustle of New York City to the tight-knit community of Lovell, Maine (population: 1,104), might lead to having a smaller social circle, but for Sean Litchfield and Zachary Violette, that was surprisingly not the case. It turns out that buying a classic Greek Revival home on a 1.5-acre lot in the middle of town was plenty to garner greetings and goodwill. "When we moved in, a steady stream of people began arriving with pies," says Zachary. "Everyone knows the 'Kimball-Chandler house,' so they all knew who we were pretty quickly."
