Can't hurt to post this here, right?
We sold our little Penobscot River retreat a few years ago and have been passively searching for its replacement since. Prices have been nuts, but I'm trying to get more serious the search, as I'd like to have something for this spring or summer. Criteria is pretty flexible, but basically...
- Waterfront (big pond, lake, river or possibly ocean; enough to hang on a small pontoon boat - no streams, brooks, etc)
- Maine (ideally south of ~Augusta), or VT (probably south of Montpelier-ish). Not currently considering NH. Haven't been considering the Berkshires, but I think I probably should. Don't want to go as far as the Adirondacks, though I do love it there.
- Flexible on acreage, but we want privacy, so that could be ~1 acre with no neighbors and surrounded by conservation land, or 50-100 acres. I realize that waterfront and privacy don't often go hand in hand.
- Small cabin would be nice, on or off grid, otherwise need the land to be buildable
- Budget? All over the map. We're looking at places between $30-250k. Cheaper the better, but you get what you pay for and we're happy to pay a premium for a great location
This is all an elaborate attempt to be able to ride my dirt bike/dual sport more often, so premium riding nearby is a huge plus.
I'm currently checking Land Watch, Lloyd's Land (this guy is great btw), Lifestyle Properties, CL, FB, Uncle Henry's, Zillow, Big Bear VT, Farm and Forest, and whatever other mom & pop real estate signs I see while we're out searching.
Know someone selling something cool??
