Maine Vacation Homes Need "Toy Storage"

By
Real Estate Agent with MOOERS REALTY ME Broker License 106759

Maine vacation homes need "toy storage".

All Maine's lakes, rivers, ponds, oceanfront and forest recreation trails mean you gotta have outdoor toys. 

Fishing boats, kayaks, snowmobiles and ATV four wheelers, ice augers, snow shoes, cross country and down hill skis, hunting and fishing gear.

Each take up major space. A pontoon boat won't fit in your average house garage either. Side by side four wheelers eat up storage space too, especially when there is more than one to park inside.

All kinds of outdoor toys are needed through the four seasons to enjoy Maine's natural resources best.

When you are lucky enough to run away and hide up in Maine during your free time, hauling the toys back and forth gets old and expensive. 

Here's a Maine vacation home with garage storage space.

No dinky one room cabin and all your outdoor toys under a thin flapping in the wind tarp from Mardens. (You know, the place that reminds you painfully "You should have bought it when you saw it at Marden's" ... a Maine close out salvage discount treasure center.)

This property listing ideal for vacations and smack dab on the Maine ITS recreation trails.

Four season comforts fill the inside and there is tremendous garage / storage space.

118 Little Road LIttleton Maine in Aroostook County delivers comfortable living area with room to expand.

Check out the amazing power and sliding door toy space for your outdoor toys.

More than enough room for your friends and loved ones to haul their sporting recreation outdoor toys up to Maine. More on friendly community of Littleton Maine if new to these parts!

No more trailering everything up Interstate 95 and back on Maine vacations.

This Maine vacation property purchase saves gas and all that loading, unloading ritual that takes away from the rest and relaxation.

The full bath, kitchen, and open living concept simplifies your Maine vacation use because of year round road, power, everything highly maintained.

Just bring groceries, bait for fishing, gas for the trail toys.  

You work hard, you deserve a break. Don't look back and regret spending too little time up in Maine on vacations. Recharge and invest in this Maine vacation home.

Heck we should call it a garage with attached Maine vacation home rather than the other way around on this special property listing.

All your outdoor recreational toys tucked away and safe. That's piece of mind and being ready Freddy for the next Maine vacation smart.

Be so so close to the Meduxnekeag Ramblers Snowmobile club house and ITS 83, ITS 86 sled trails too!

Maine is the 4th lowest crime state so everything will be just as you left it for your next vacation trip to Maine. 

Rent this Northern Maine real estate listing out for profit when not using. The same folks will pencil in the same vacation week year after year. That pays your taxes, insurance and makes the vacation property in Maine purchase even sweeter.

Good morning Andrew. Your listings in Maine should have many within a reasonable driving distance thinking of purchasing a retreat where relaxation is mandatory. This one is a gem for someone most would say has too many toys. Enjoy your day.

Thank you Wayne Martin . Boats alone... and  trailers to haul four wheelers, snowsleds... there are many kinds for each outdoor recreation application. Expensive outdoor toys need "housing" too!

Hello Andrew - your point of creating a vacation lifestyle or experience is well-presented in this post.  Finding the features that align with a style of living is important.  For buyers as well as the professionals representing them. 

You understand how to make that happen in Maine real estate.  And you do it over and over with ideas that make sense.  This local knowledge and insight matters.  A lot.  Continued success in making this happen for those interested in making a move in the Aroostook County area.   And good luck always with your marketing.  Your efforts are impressive.

Thank you Michael Jacobs ! This one is like the reverse of "ranch style home with attached garage". Just as much a "garage with attach Maine vacation home'. Lots of area to expand living area or storage. Up to the new owner to enjoy multi purpose space the way that fits the need best.

Andrew Mooers | 207.532.6573 - 💯  Soooooo right.   Understanding priorties is important and sorting them into organized thoughts (and then, actions) makes sense.

There are so many similarities where you are and where I am. We have all the same toys and many buyers want a big garage/shop/storage area, MORE than they want the house.

On a personal note, we now have a side-by-side, big tractor, plow truck, and the snowshoes/skis/bikes/canoes/etc. And we do NOT have a storage area for them. After my greenhouse gets set up in the Spring, that's probably the next big project.

I am lucky to own a 100' long barn which helps for toy storage and farm machinery Kat Palmiotti ! You can never have too much outdoor "toy storage".

Good morning Andre,

I can see the importance of toy storage in your neck of the woods. So many things to do you need a storage area to accommodate them! Love that you have a Main vacation home listed WITH a storage area for all the toys!

People have to have plenty of toys when there are so many wonderful things to be doing outside!

Trail toys... more than a hiking walking stick and fishing pole, your old hunting rifle used to enjoy the outdoors. Rec trails to cover more ground and to see more... like the ghost trains in the Allagash River region of Aroostook County Maine Brian England !

This listing is enticing especially with the barn door. Also in the high desert storage for all the toys is a necessity from the quads, side by sides, boats and water sports vehicles require lots of storage space. Add in any farm equipment and suddenly many run out of space.

Thank you for stopping by Leanne Smith! Own a Maine farm and storage needs are huge for equipment and crops, critters!

Best wishes, Andy, for a successful transaction.

We have another cold day in Maryland and expect more snow on Friday. The toy will be my snow shovel.

Great exercise for the lower back Roy Kelley ! Lift with your legs!

I had to do some shoveling this afternoon. Some snow from our roof hit front steps. And, I had to spread snow melt on some ice on our front sidewalk. Our home faces north.

Andrew Mooers | 207.532.6573 - you touch on a topic rarely discussed but is so necessary. Broadly speaking, when people are involved in the great outdoor activities and have lots of equipment, everything has to be taken into consideration. Toys are not cheap. Protecting your investments and proper ways to store them is something a buyer and their REALTOR has to think through carefully.

Four seasons means many different outdoor recreation, sporting opportunities when you are in Maine Patricia Feager, MBA, CRS, GRI,MRP !

I see many vacationers on I-95 hauling trailers up and back and there comes a time when let's buy a permanent vacation home, one with lots of cargo space. This property fits that goal!

Garages not used for vehicles but stuff... wall to wall stuff. It happens but in addition to this big center cathedral 14' high bay, you have the 39' deep extra garage bay so with a little planning and careful parking, everything should fit in nicely for most Endre Barath, Jr. ! Space inside, outside is a beautiful combination in life.

Thank you for sharing this - what a garage that is!  I should clear out my garage - or I could move to Maine and bring all my junk to a bigger garage!

Lots of room for all the toys Lise Howe ! We have space inside and out in Maine!
