A Storied Property in Kittery, Maine

Mead Meadow is a historic property overlooking Spruce Creek in Kittery, Maine. Built in the mid-1800s and once known as The Briars, it was home to John Landon’s daughter, Ethel Langdon Mead, and has been cared for by only two families throughout its long history. Surrounded by woodlands, tidal marshes, and open meadow, it remains one of Kittery’s most storied and beautiful homes.

A Name With Meaning

In 2015, the estate was named Mead Meadow—a name chosen to honor both its lineage and the natural landscape that defines it.

  • Mead reflects the family that first called it home.
  • Meadow captures the serenity and grace of the place itself.

Where the Brand Began

It was at this property that the idea for the Mead Meadow brand first took shape. Rooted in the philosophy of Thoughtful Living, the brand celebrates intention, beauty, and authenticity—values inspired by the history and spirit of this home.

Thoughtful Living Today

Today, Mead Meadow continues to explore how heritage and modern life can exist in harmony. Every detail, creation, and story reflects a single idea: living thoughtfully is both an art and a way of honoring what truly endures.
