Growing your own food off grid on Maine land.

Are you one of the folks in the audience wanting to be pretty much self sufficient, reliant on your skills to build a Maine home?

To heat with wood from your Maine land? To manage the timber forest sections.

To tend fields, pastures, critters, crops of your Maine land.

Realizing lots of hard work and patience will be needed to create a simple living lifestyle in Maine?

Then you are In one of the top five reasons people buy Maine land.

Not always just raw land in Maine purchased for building a home from scratch happens either.

Sometimes there is a drilled well, concrete septic system in place already. Maybe the last home burned, was a mobile home that hit the road and rolled to a new spot to camp out on, provide shelter.

If you find land in Maine where the lawn, power, driveway and maybe a concrete slab is just the right size and in place to build on, this is your lucky day.

You get to hit the floor running.

And are a hop, skip and a jump ahead of the pack because the site preparation construction work is pretty much done.

Maybe you are a little less adventuresome on the building from scratch on the Maine land.

So for an example of what can I buy for around $50,000 with nearly 10 acres of Maine acreage on a dead end road, check out this 2 bedroom 85% finished Amity ME ranch home, land.

Has a guest camp that's a bonus.

Set back from the road and practically a rock's throw from the Canadian border.

One to consider already with a good head start. but to finish off the way you want.

To make it feel like your own build, comfortable Maine home.

Or how about 12.7 acres of Maine land, a peaked roof mobile Maine home with addition and big barn/shop with overhead storage.

That utility building sits on a concrete slab too. Has porch, handicap ramp, wire fenced pen for animals. Have your own low cost Maine farmette with chickens, gardens, everything on a small scale.

And you get to enjoy being handy to Grand Lake, in Maine's top three biggest in the town of Weston.

To go wet the line, go fishing there and a slew of other lakes in this region of Maine.

All on a budget to make your wallet or purse smile ear to ear.

Priced in the $20's for this Southern Aroostook County property listing.

It is tucked off the road, with privacy similiar to the Amity ranch home and land above property example.

Growing your own food, building a place, shelter, structure on your Maine land.

Are you ready like the T Rex song says to sound, "bang the gong to get it on and feel like life's a garden so dig it?" (Loved that Joe Dirt movie.)
