Room to Roam in Midcoast Maine
Knox County stretches along the western shore of Penobscot Bay, from Thomaston and Rockland to Camden, Rockport and the islands of Vinalhaven and North Haven. Larger properties are most common in inland towns such as Hope, Appleton, Union, Washington and Warren, where fields, woodlots and stone walls surround farmhouses and newer homes. Many offer barns or outbuildings, and some border conservation land. Rockland and Camden are typically within a half hour’s drive. Cates Real Estate can help you evaluate land use, wells, septic systems and road frontage. Related searches include farms for sale in Maine and land for sale in Maine.
