You could move to Maine full time or invest in a rec spot for part time use.
But either way, you will find lots of pleasant surprises from the long list of what the state offers. And at the same time, the long list of what we don’t have will sway you to “Vacationland”.
The list of what we
- don’t
have….includes crime. Maine is the 4th lowest crime state. We don’t have pollution because there are not a zillion people or industries. And pollution is not just glow in the dark type you think of being dumped into lakes by late at night trucks filled with 55 gallon drums tattooed with a skull and cross bones.
Light pollution, the kind where you can not see the millions of bright stars in a night sky. We are lucky in Maine to be one of the “darkest” places. Look up, bring your telescope.
Again because the 11 people per square mile of Aroostook County means light pollution of yard lights, street lights and traffic is a non issue.
What else don’t we have that you will like? For starters when you land here, people wave, say hello, let you go in traffic, are willing to help you out. It’s not like that everywhere. We don’t have wall to wall rude pushey people. Anyone like that moves away, the nice ones stay or relocate here to get that kind of atmosphere and sense of pride in a local community.
Maine, get here just as quick as you can. Low cost real estate, less but friendlier people, no crime and far enough north so you won’t have to buy again anywhere more private in your lifetime.
