I’ve contacted several realtors with listings in northern Maine and am already sick of speaking to them. They don’t include any pertinent info in the ads and then act like you’re putting them out by asking questions.

So I’m wondering if anyone here has land for sale in northern Maine. We’d love at least 40 acres. Or perhaps you know a better way of finding this type of property without going insane?

Currently we live about 40 minutes north of auburn, Maine but it’s just not far enough north for us. We want darker skies, more quiet, more wildlife and more land. We’re growing a small food forest here and it’s great practice learning what grows in this climate but we are looking for a better place to retire in solitude.

So, any info or connections or lots for sale be greatly appreciated.

I use a combination of...

https://www.realtor.com/ for finding stuff for sale
https://www.google.com/maps - for looking at the property and seeing what else is around it and seeing how far or close it is to stuff
https://hub.arcgis.com/apps/maine::maine-geolibrary-parcel-viewer-application/explore - for looking at property lines if town has uploaded information. Also use for measuring parcel size and distances.

Also, the town tax maps can provide some information as well... but each town is different.

I do all this before I even think about a realtor.
