As seen on Hortdaily.com

Tranzon Auction Properties will offer a 168+/- acre commercial greenhouse campus at 347 Lisbon Street in Lisbon, Maine, at a lender-ordered auction on Friday, October 23, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. ET. Remote bidding is available and must be arranged well in advance.

The campus includes approximately 117,000+/- sf of greenhouse growing space and approximately 56,000+/- sf of attached headhouse buildings used for propagation, packing, cold storage and offices. A farmhouse and support buildings are also part of the property.

The newest and largest structure, built in 2024, is a 73,600 square foot European-design glass greenhouse with a 24-foot eave height, two gas-fired boilers supplying both heat and CO2, and a standby generator.

"Somebody is going to do very well here," said Mike Carey, Co-CEO of Tranzon Auction Properties. "The glass is up, the boilers are in, the packing line is there, and none of that has to be permitted, financed or built. A buyer who knows what a greenhouse costs to put in the ground today will understand the opportunity the minute they walk the property."

The property may also suit buyers who are not growers. Headhouse is greenhouse industry terminology for what most of the market would call light industrial space. The four headhouse buildings are steel-frame structures on frost-wall foundations with concrete floors and climate control, ranging from 1,900+/- sf up to 33,000+/- sf. They were built between 2014 and 2024 and function as conditioned production, packing, cold storage and office space independent of the growing operation.

"Strip out the growing use and you are looking at 56,000 square feet of climate-controlled industrial buildings on 168 acres with municipal utilities and frontage on a state highway," Carey said. "That is a hard combination to assemble in this market at any price."

Property tours are scheduled for October 8 at 3:00 p.m. and October 14 at 1:00 p.m. Private showings are available to qualified buyers with 24 hours' notice.
