Useful information and thank you for posting it. I would also be interested in PFOS and PFAS and their possible presence in any land I were buying. This also effects the ground water. The problem with PFOS and PFAS is that you need to test the ground water, were you to have to drill a well.
Thank you for being honest to the out of towners .great info I think I'd really deal with you and God bless you just what I was waiting for. The other guys are to shady and expect you to drop the money so the can run.
Good advice for buying land anywhere but probably overlooked by many flatlanders. Maine is such an incredible state. But I like my warm Florida climate. Grew up in Ohio near Lake Erie I’ve seen my share of cold and snow. Merry Christmas Andy. 🎄
Hello from Malibu beach, California. A 'MAINER' here originally from Waterville, Maine, and I've been watching your Videos for Years. Traveling around Houlton area and Beyond with you through Videos. lol And dreaming of RETURNING TO MY MAINE. Gosh I miss it. 3 Central Avenue, Waterville, Maine was my last home. 1996-1999. CASH $43,000. Sold 1999 $57,000. Sadly I left my home. Thank you for all the information Andrew. James & Family, Malibu, California. *I might surprise you one day and RETURN TO MAINE. Never know.

You are most welcome @MrFireman1010 If you have wooded sections, tree growth plans come into the Maine land buying discussions. More on tree growth program in Maine mooersrealty.com/tree-growth-plans-maine-woodlots-management/
Very informative Andy. I like to think I touch on those points from experience, but I bet you get some caught off guard. One of the reasons I look in Houlton proper for something. Where I live it's a quarter mile to mailboxes, 500 foot drop in elevation. Tired of living in mountains for sure. Long to be a Maineiac. Merry Christmas to Mooers Realty.

Another important fact perspective land buyers need to focus on, is having the soil tested for pfa contamination. It has devistated much of our state via sludge spread, the now closed AF base, papermills, it has seriously contaminated our land and waters. Be smart, insist the seller have land tested for these dangerous chemicals. They call them *forever chemicals* for a reason.

Maine is mostly rural. A handful of cites and over 400 small, tiny communities. When you are in a town like say Drew Plantation, population 45 and six by six miles in size. There is no paper mill, no large garbage landfill like a populated city where lots of harmful chemicals and pollutants. No population, more wildlife than people. This is one of many reasons Maine is attractive.
Thank you for this video. I have a home in Fl. Moved here from the coast of NH I have been interested in purchasing a few acres in Maine. All access to utilities etc. Purchase land to place a Tiny Home on it. Is there certain areas that I could look that allow this. Thank you very much!

Do you get title when you buy land in northern Maine ? This guy told me you don't get title when you buy land. They just put your name in computer and that is how they know your ownership. Is this true or not please help ?
As a rule yes. You can buy land, seller takes back a mortgage and you get a deed with a mortgage. Or land contract... title once all the money is in and mortgage discharged. Your two options.
Best advice yet. Excellent information.
