"In the 1980s, three historic homes in the area were headed for demolition. One was even scheduled to be burned down by the local fire department for training practice. Ken Tuttle purchased all three and had them relocated onto the property. From there, the village grew organically, with barns, outbuildings, and garages added over the years to accommodate Ken's growing car collection."
"The centerpiece is a stately Greek Revival main house with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and four fireplaces, which the Tuttles renovated extensively over the past year - replacing all the windows and flooring and repainting every room. There's also a restored 1825 church (now used for storage, its pews long removed), expansive barns, multi-bay garages, and six additional residential rental units, all currently occupied."
"There was never a grand master plan behind this. It unfolded organically, one opportunity and one decision at a time."
Tut Hill, a unique 40-acre property in Pittston, Maine, comprises 21 buildings including a Greek Revival main house, a restored 1825 church, barns, garages, and six residential rental units. The village was created organically by Ken Tuttle, an antiques dealer, beginning in the 1980s when he rescued three historic homes from demolition and relocated them to the property. The collection expanded over decades with additional structures built to house his growing car collection. Recently renovated with new windows, flooring, and fresh paint, the property is now listed for $6 million by broker Anna Boucher, who lives on the property with her husband Nathan Tuttle, Ken's son.
