If recreating the own-a-village plot line of “Schitt’s Creek” has been on your to-do list, there’s an opportunity to do just that in Maine — for $6 million.
A nearly 40-acre, 21-building property in Pittston, Maine — an “antique village” known as Tut Hill — is once again on the market after being on and off since 2020. Previously, it was listed for $500,000 less; the current higher asking price reflects extensive renovations to the property’s main house as well as newly paved roads, and fresh paint and chimney work on other structures, said Anna Boucher, a broker with Summit Real Estate who serves as the listing agent.

Boucher lives on Tut Hill with her husband, Nathan Tuttle, whose late father, an antiques dealer named Ken Tuttle, built the village from the ground up.
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.
“There was never a grand master plan behind this,” Boucher said. “It unfolded organically, one opportunity and one decision at a time.”

The result is a property that is genuinely difficult to categorize. 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. The listing touts the property as a space for weddings and retreats.

Unlike in “Schitt’s Creek,” which ran from 2015-2020 and starred the late Catherine O’Hara alongside Eugene Levy, this for-sale town isn’t rooted in its name.
“Whoever purchases the property is welcome to change the name to anything they would like,” Boucher said. “It does not have an official name at this time other than us casually referring to it as Tut Hill, which is simply the name of the private road.”
While it’s easy to lean into the “Schitt’s Creek” comparisons, Boucher is clear that — also unlike in the show — no actual governing comes with the deed.
“It is simply a collection of homes and structures that was coined ‘Antique Village,’ which over time led people to casually refer to it as a town,” she explained.

The pop-culture parallel, nonetheless, isn’t entirely off base: The new owner would inherit a small community, complete with tenants who mainly rent month to month, and a grounds manager who works Monday through Friday.
Tut Hill joins a small but recurring niche in American real estate: entire communities, built or assembled by a single owner over decades, eventually coming to market when that owner is ready to step away from the weight of running them.

In 2021, one of the smallest towns in Nevada, Cal-Nev-Ari, sold for $8 million after sitting on the market for more than 15 years. A husband and wife started the town in the mid-1960s and built it around an abandoned Army runway they had spotted while flying. Last year, the entire town of Pray, Mont. — a 5-acre property 45 minutes from Yellowstone National Park — hit the market for $2.6 million, including a 100-year-old general store, a post office, a home, and several cabins. Perhaps the most famous example is Bridgeville, Calif., an 83-acre community in the forested hills of Humboldt County that became the first town ever listed on eBay in 2002 — changing hands multiple times over the following years as successive owners discovered that maintaining an entire community is harder than it sounds.

The challenge, in each case, is finding a buyer whose vision matches the property’s unusual character. When the Tut Hill listing first went live, Boucher says a local Facebook group lit up with neighbors hoping the next owner would maintain the property with the same care.
“We are very meticulous with the lawn care and sweeping of the roads and the leaf pickup and painting of all the buildings,” she said. “There’s just hope in the community that the next person keeps it as much as we have.”

One major draw for prospective buyers: the property can be used for both residential and commercial use.
“The next owner can really utilize it however they’d like,” Boucher said.
As for the Tuttles, they are trading village life for something quieter. They have 25 acres up the road where they are building a house, a barn, and a garage for Nathan’s car collection.
“We want one electric bill, one heating bill, one tax bill,” Boucher said. “It’s just a lot of upkeep.”
