The list is long. No different than questions raised on any new, unknown area a real estate buyer or seller finds themselves dealing in. When the out of town family has an Maine estate sale for something a single or pair of parents owned, they ask lots of questions. This glossary of real estate terms helps make the process of buying or selling less scary.
So is shore land zoning in Maine ins and outs to comply with the state and local ordinances. So much of the interest outside of the property listings for sale in Maine is about how things roll day to day.

Blog posts on simple living in Maine and what happens here in rural Maine as it unfolds is how people online compare notes. With what they know from where they have lived before. And why they are considering the relocation move to Maine. Or at the least investing in a recreational Maine property for part time use. With maybe an eye toward retirement. We all like to keep our life options open right?
I am pretty high on living in Maine and here is my story from a sit down video interview of myself a few years back. More on the FAQ video inquiries we field to answer on pretty much a daily basis. What we do for fun is so easy to shoot, edit, upload and post with video. Want to go to Canada right now and it is winter? Or closer to where I call home in Maine, let’s check out Big Rock in Mars Hill to ski. Or what the heck.
To get the relocation investment in Maine dream put into action and off the ground.
Raising a family in Maine tops the list for questions from many wanting to feather their housing nests.
Lower cost of living, homes that are affordable and low crime, no traffic and all this unspoiled outdoor living is pretty attractive to young families.
Who are seriously consider moving, relocating to Maine. If they can just get the information they seek. Without digging, waiting, chasing and getting frustration just trying to get answers to questions they should not have to swallow and leave empty handed.

That’s what brought you into this blog post right? Weather in Maine is a big source of the discussion. Usually because folks who have never set foot in Maine, crossed the big green bridge on the southern tip have no idea what this part of the country is like all four of the seasons. More to help ease the wonderment swirling around the weather, climate of Maine.
We are not located in the North Pole, no one drives dog sled teams or lives in an igloo with polar bears wandering by from time to time in Maine. Look at a weather map and see we are not in the Arctic Circle in Maine and line up with lots of other northern tier states in the USA overlay slide see?
Do those have to stay and no, no they don’t. Totally up to you the new Maine land owner.
Think twice about a lot of no trespassing signs though on your posted Maine land. You might have been needed those ugly keep out signs or else back where you escaped from but not here. It’s like you are in a natural Disney Land or World and no people crowded at the Space Mountain ride. No needed. Respect the property of others rules the day.
It is at the discretion of the new owner whether to continue or not. Exemption to the rule is your land in Maine borders a discontinued rail road bed where the iron rails are gone. And four season use of the trails for horses, walking, snowmobiles and ATV four wheelers bring money into the tourism coffers and helps local businesses from income generated from these explorers. See the sights Maine offers that takes a lifetime to collect.
The ITS 83 for example in my area of Maine opens up the places you can not get to by car or truck.I like to snow sled so I have a groomed trail across a farm I grew up on and now own because I get to use other like minded people’s land that I respect and always stay on the trail. And tread lightly with the pressure on the gas throttle.
Out in the woods, overlooking water, a long view from a mountain top.
That is the real Maine, where more animals, all the wildlife replaces wall to wall people that 8 out of 10 people put up with daily in city living.
That is why cheap Maine land is a search term put in the space by so so many property buyers looking for their own piece of real estate up here in Vacationland.
