Northeastern Maine Lakefront Real Estate - No Small Potatoes - 06/30/08 07:53 PM
While the Presque Isle Region may be best known for growing potatoes, this northern Maine region has its share of wilderness, woods, and water and provides recreational opportunities to those who crave outdoor activities.
In addition to the hiking , fishing, canoeing and kayaking that can be enjoyed on the many good-sized lakes and rivers in the area, winter brings deep snow and, with it, unparalleled snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and Nordic skiing.
This region is also well-populated by good sized towns, so area activities also include many fairs, festivals, and historic sites. The town of Caribou has an Arts and Crafts Fair … (0 comments)

Maine Lakefront Real Estate - Questions For The Code Enforcement Officer - 06/17/08 09:12 PM
When buying a Maine waterfront property always make your offer contingent on having a satisfactory discussion with the local Code Enforcement Officer. No matter how knowledgeable your buyer's agent may be, he or she has no jurisdiction over the application of state and local rules and ordinances. The Code Enforcement Officer (CEO) does.
Make an appointment to meet the CEO at the property. Walk the property with him or her and be prepared to ask questions. Here are some suggestions.
A good place to start is to confirm the things you already think you know. Never assume! For example, how close … (0 comments)

Maine Lakefront Real Estate - Sandy Beach Tops the List - 06/12/08 01:38 PM
Of all the attributes of a lakefront property, having a sandy beach tops the list.
I remember growing up in Harrison and learning to swim at the public beach at Crystal Lake. This was long before the ballpark and picnic area was put it. There was just a winding path through an open field for the village kids to follow that ended at a beautiful sandy public beach on the south shore of the lake. Having that long expanse of sandy beach and also having sand beneath your feet as you walked out into the water was wonderful, but we just took that … (1 comments)

Lincoln Regions Offers Maine Lakefront Real Estate in the Wild - 06/09/08 07:30 PM
The Lincoln region is anchored by two landmarks - the town of Lincoln, which sits just off the Interstate, and a fantastic, well-known body of water by the name of West Grand Lake.
This whole area is located on the east side of central Maine and has many lakes and ponds, but few towns and villages. North and east of Bangor and south and east of Katahdin, it runs from the Interstate, on its west side to the Canadian border and the Province of New Brunswick in the east.
Fishing and canoeing are the main areas of interest here along with the wonderful Maine wilderness experience you find … (0 comments)

Maine Waterfront Property - Kids and Fishing a Great Combination - 06/06/08 01:03 PM
I was reading a recent dispatch from the local fisheries biologist about some of the Sebago Lake area fishing going on and was remided what a memory-making activity fishing can be.
Young children are so impressionable and giving them a good fishing experience can provide them with wonderful memories that will last a lifetime.
Take a minute to read this recent report and see if it doesn't make you want to go find a young person, dig up a bunch of worms, and go try your luck at a nearby lake or stream.
From the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife, … (0 comments)

For Maine Lakefront Real Estate Buyers, Time + Gas = Real $$$ - 06/04/08 06:53 AM
With gas now at $4 a gallon for regular the last thing you want to be doing, if you're a buyer of Maine lakefront property, is driving all over hill and dale with a fistfull of listing addresses and your eyes glued to a GPS screen.
Your intentions are good - do a bunch of "drive bys", get a feel for the area, and whittle your "potentials" list down to something manageable. Sure, you burn through a $60 tank of gas and the use of a sick day to take a self-guided tour of the Maine lakefront market, but to make this … (0 comments)

Maine Waterfront Property - Allagash Just Woods, Water, Beauty - 06/01/08 07:29 PM
One would be hard pressed to find a more remote wilderness area in the lower 48 than this most northwest area of Maine that we call The Allagash. It is also referred to, quite accurately, as The Great North Woods.
Largely owned by paper company and timber interests and encompassing no towns, save Allagash, this huge area features several large lakes in the south and rivers in the north.
The Allagash and St. John Rivers bisect the northern part of this region providing canoeists and fishermen with an unparalleled wilderness experience as they follow the Allagash Wilderness Waterway. To the south … (1 comments)
