  • Memorial Day, Official Start Of Summer Maine Waterfront Property Living.

    Taking A Break On A Maine Lake.
    Fun Under The Sun, On The Maine Waterfront.

    If you are lucky enough to be on the water, own something next to a Maine lake, stream, river, ocean, this Memorial Day weekend will be a busy one.

    If you live outside of Maine, there is no doubt a hurry scurry to get packed, head to the waterfront property. To get the camp or cottage opened up for family and friends with fingers crossed. Hoping for sunshine and warm weather with a slight breeze dialed in for good measure. To enhance that Maine summer holiday. Planning to grill something that goes well with home made potato salad, fresh Maine blueberry, strawberry rhubbarb pie. Or steaming a Maine lobster, peck of clams with a garden fresh salad.

    Leisure, vacation time or maybe retirement at this Maine waterfront property is part of a balanced life. Work that satisfies, brings in the bread, pays the bills is all well and good. But time to sit in a deck chair and stare.

    Out over the Maine waterfront, where the loons sing and entertain.

    Fish jump, tease. Ducks quack quack paddle by. Where no two sunsets or sunrises are the same as you reflect. Enjoy a coffee or cold drink. Life, how is yours going and stepping outside of it for a long Maine summer weekend is healthy. You think of your parents doing the same holiday when you were a kid. How your kids will repeat what you show them with those grand kids.

    Holidays, not just Christmas or New Years with presents, eating too much and staying up too late to mess up your regular routine. Family and friends need to have you available and what better back drop then a Maine waterfront property to help you with the transition of being a Little Red Hen efficient to throw on some shorts, a t shirt and consider going kayaking, fishing, swimming. Warning, a Maine waterfront property is another place to take care of. But the puttering, work involved can be rewarding.

    Fires nightly, the sunlight causing a million diamond shape bright sparkles of flickering light off the water are just what the doctor ordered. Relax, have a seat, get off the treadmill and fill your lungs with Maine fresh air.

    Maine Lake Sunset…Not Two The Same.

    If you have been following the MeInMaine blog posts, the images, stories, links, video embeds may have you pushed off the property buying real estate fence.

    And if you are in an area of out of state high priced land, waterfront real estate that is in the nose bleed section, your wallet will smile. It can be thinner because the number of zeros in the property price for Maine waterfront listings. You’re In Maine now, things are very very different than what you are used to where you live, call home now.

    But the icing on the ME waterfront property cake is in addition to lower cost, there are way way less people around the land, camp, cottage, home you buy on that body of water in Maine. The water is cleaner, area quieter. Basically, less people because we are little further up the pike means, boils down to you shell out less for any Maine waterfront real estate.

    But do’s and don’t around the Maine waterfront due to ME shoreland zoning regulations, the buffer of 250′ feet surrounding a Maine lake, pond, oceanfront, river, stream means study the regulations. The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the Land Use Regulation Commission (LURC) want to protect the natural resources with rules, statutes, laws toward that goal. Giving the waterfront property in Maine you are so fortunate to own, be the steward of means responsibilities. Handing that property to the next generation in better shape than you receive it.

    And remember, if a Maine lake could talk, it would ask you to please go easy on the lawns, open space. Bag the weed and feed for the golf course close manicured look.

    Shift the focus to vegetative buffer plants. Putting in trees to protect the Maine lake from silt, dirt, debris that chokes fish.

    And “feed” vegetation with phoshorous, other silt nutrients in the wash out, erosion and water racing to the Maine lake. Dumping everything it caries during a rain storm in to that lake. Think like a Maine fish. You are choking them if you don’t protect them.

    Land for less than a thousand dollars an acre is Maine is plentiful. In fact we have parcels close to 200 acres in the $70’s if you need, want to invest in something that big. The larger the acreage of Maine real estate, the lower the cost per unit acre.

    Maine land, with or without water frontage, lake views, or parked on a river, stream is cheaper property than you ever imagained here.
