Maine has less than 200 sunny days per year. I lived there at Loring AFB outside of Limestone. Winters are long and cold. The dome “ cloudy skies “ can overwhelm you. It can be depressing and takes a while to get used to. I think you need a house with 10 + acres. On the grid with plumbing. Closer to a service town where people are. It gets dark early in winter and lonely. Like 3:30 pm. You can homestead on a decent rural property. Northern Maine (Aroostook County) is totally different than the Southern part. It’s a beautiful state.
I have at 75 lived in over 13 states from east to the western states I found Northern Nevada 10 years ago, the weather has four seasons, the beautiful high plains with the sierras and surrounding uninhabited areas filled my ticket. The extremely low cost of living, low taxes, and lack of idiotic building and zoning laws made my decision. I lived in Colorado, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Tenn, Alabama, the Carolinas to name a few have built four homesteads on acreage and remodeled a few more with the prepper mindset, and by far nevada offers ranges where you can drive for hours and not see a residence or town, that’s my baseline. Be willing to vote with your feet do your research, and you will find your dream it’s out there.❤
i really like the fact it had a nice big cabin on a nice foundation and plenty storage space. i like the idea of having a second cabin for family !. looks like the property is nice and amazing views.
I really like this place. That water pump would come in pretty handy! Very beautiful country up there. I hope you are able to find exactly what you want. Safe travels and God Bless!
Oh wow looooove the views and that cabin is quite charming. I’m sure you could make it even better, and do something about those ladders. That road and being so far up up and away are issues though maybe worth it. There was one house with land we were so excited about, but once we got out there the pics really didn’t add up to the rooms it said. The place was a gut job more than just a fixer upper. Driving all the way to that one made my hubby say NOPE only looking closer to his job. 😂
Nice cabin and with a big (BUT!) I hope you noticed the lack of insulation. The roof rafters were showing and the floor joist down stairs. This cabin would take alot of work to make it livable year round. And then there's the long driveway. Gravel it in the summer snow you can plow it in the winter and then gravel it again next summer. A never ending cycle. Now you know why its a summer cabin. Good luck. Thanks for taking us along.
Nice place. At my age the distance from medical facility and all those stairs would get me, although bringing in a modular home that doesn't need a cellar would be a great solution. You could truck in some loam and build raised bed gardens. I wish I was young again and had potential in front of me. :)
Really need to thank you again for these, as I'm making the move up soon myself from Florida and have actually seen a couple of these listings you've shown here. Great bit of insight and opinion on the properties/area.
Thank you, I happy that I can be helpful to you. I’ve made 5 trips to Maine now. Each time I learn a ton more. The sun raises two hours earlier then Maryland and it set earlier in the winter around 3:30. It will take me a bit to get use to that. FYI. Taker care, God bless. My next two videos will show a couple cabins that are very remote and a bit rough. There are many rough cabins on the market. $150,000 and above can avoid most of that. Good luck.
My dad's cabin had a terrible basement/foundation that was a nightmare, so as I'm looking at places, solid foundations always stand out. Cabin in your video is literally rock solid. I'm curious what all is involved with putting in a holding tank. Does that mean it could have a septic/drain field? Not sure how far that ledge goes. I could see myself "roughing it" for a winter but I'm not keen on composting toilets (especially in a small cabin).
It would be hard to get a holding tank installed. The entire yard area appeared to be rock. I’m not sure if it can be done or not, but I imagine it would be costly.
Yes, I agree! I took a trip the beginning of October and looked at the different regions of Maine-North, South, East and West. I didn’t look at any properties simply because they sell so quick but I wanted to know the different regions so once I’m ready, I know where to focus on.
@@Backyard_Chickens lol yes, it definitely was a lot of ground (took almost 2 weeks 😉). I loved the area west of Houlton and down by Springfield simply because I want dairy animals and the ground seems to be more conducive for raising cattle. Fort Kent was definitely much colder but also gorgeous and more hilly. I currently live in eastern ND and have a mixture of beef & dairy cattle along with dairy goats. But we are flat here (similar to the Springfield area minus trees).
@@Backyard_Chickens don’t forget to look up PFSA contaminated ground. When I was out there, I met some wonderful people that gave me a heads up to making sure the soil had been tested as well as the water.
Indeed, I had been looking for a small cottage for a number of years here in Nova Scotia and just got rather discouraged. Many of the listings had photos some ten years old in their listings. Some the whole floors were rotted out! Now the prices are pretty much out of my league. Still look, but might end up getting an RV instead. We shall see. Always interesting to see what is out there in other areas.
Yes, I too have been looking for a while. I keep driving to Maine when I see something I like. I thought about getting 40 acres, buying a truck and living in my travel trailer until I can clear land and get a cabin brought in. It a hard decision.
If you spend the winter in there you are going to need a snow machine that road is going to be a challenge to plow at the end of winter when it gets up to 30 degrees it feels like summer
Of the three cabins I would pick #1. The kitchen is the best. And would be able to build a downstairs sleeping space and not have to climb a ladder to go to bed.
Keep looking for a larger cabin that is insulated and has a working shower and toilet. You deserve to have a septic system in your homestead. An existing woodshed would be ideal for drying firewood. Hopefully you can find a place that is more than 10 miles from traffic, ATV trails, trains but has a good driveway- not too far from the main road . I like the idea of a full walk out basement so you can use it for a workshop.
Yeah i like that second place. 27 acres, private, views are excellent. If you like dealing with cords of firewood and hauling up those stairs, i guess that can make ya or break ya. That is a nice place and looks to be built really well. How long is the road in you would need to plow or have plowed? Are you planning on living in Maine full time and leaving Maryland completely?
The wood stove needs a single swing out door not two misfit doors that when hot would be a guaranteed hand burner…..placement in the center of the room is the best location…always.
Looks nice but to far off grid for me. I need my electric lol. I’m spoiled I have 5 acres 200 chickens and in NJ the water freezes have my water heaters could not imagine pumping water and it freezing so fast. Great hunting cabin. I have 3024 2500 GMC diesel pickup think it will be to cold to start in Maine with no electric. Reminds me of breaking bad when he moved off grid towards the end of series lol. Good stuff my friend
Thanks! Yes, it’s a very well built cabin but would not be good for my hens. More cold and more snow at 1000 feet. Why do you have 200 chickens. Eggs, meat or both?
This place is kind of amazing. Very sturdy, well-kept, well thought out. Hell, it's almost worth it for the basement and it's contents alone. How far away is the nearest year-round neighbor? Is there anyone farther up the road that already takes care of the plowing and would probably appreciate getting a few bucks for continuing to do so?
That place is neat with lots of potential! You could do a lot with it! You want to avoid trashy previous owners and trashy neighbors! Think about when you're older or if you get hurt, you have to climb all those stairs. Plan your work, work your plan!
Yes, that is why I would put my bedroom on the first floor. I would not climb the latter. It’s not ideal for older people that is why the older gentleman was selling. He’s in his 80’s now.
As for the roof, I don't see any insulation on the inside. Not sure if they doubled up on the 4x8 sheets on the roof put any any insulation under the metal or not.
That would be one cold cabin for a Maine winter. Lots of work to be done with the uninsulated/unfinished ceiling along with the logs not being very thick. 7/10 of a mile is way too far. I'm 750FT and that's far enough to maintain in the winter especially. Great hunting property.
FYI the mountain you were calling Katahdin is actually Mt. Chase. Katahdin will be off to the left. In one of your other videos when you were at the scenic outlook off the highway and you pointed out Katahdin it also was not Katahdin. The clouds keep hiding it from you. Just wait until you see the real thing! Best luck finding your new place. I like that this place has a foundation. Some of the other properties you have looked at are posted with no foundation and it will be real hard to be comfortable in winter.
Its nice, but not for me. I want a garden and want my chickens to be ok. I think the elevation and bed rock for ground might be too much for me. If I was retiring and much older, its a great location and view.
I would want something closer to a plowed road unless you already plan on buying a 4wd truck with a snowplow. Also, it looked like there was zero insulation in the cabin. It depends on how willing you are to rough it I guess.
I am a newer viewer. I have not not been watching long. YT suggested your channel a few weeks ago. My two cents: What are your top 5 Must Have items while looking? Are you searching for something well built and maintained or a major fixer upper? Do you want to spend your first 6 to 12 months working to bring a structure up to the bare living minimum or spend that time beginning to establish your homestead? Are you genuinely wanting to be out in a secluded area or just thinking that but really prefer to be close to town/city? You could purchase something for 150,000 to get in the door and then spend another 100,000 to re-build into exactly what you want. These are questions you need to discuss with yourself. We watch YTers who want to homestead but have no self-discipline to finish projects. If a project gets boring, they move on to different project. There are others who are very disciplined to finish a project until it is completely done before moving onto the next project. "Project" always being the operative word on a homestead. And I agree with those who mentioned about moving the camera too much. Motion sickness on this side of the camera. You hear everything the realtors say but we have little to no clue what the conversation is except for your side of the conversation. Possible a mic for the realtor. YTers in Maine now seem to be focused on preparing everything for winter; wood cut/stacked, hay/grain for livestock, working towards prepping to winterize, maintenance on vehicles for plowing, etc.
I have two paths I am thinking of. Buy land, live in my travel trailer, get a cabin set on the property. I don't mind buying land with a cabin already there, just has to be want I am looking for.
@Backyard_Chickens With what you wrote, the land is first your priority. It sounds like you've almost figured out your temp/permanent living arrangement. If land is your first priority then I would think your 2nd is starting to build your homestead. It kinda sounds like your top 3 priorities are; land, build homestead, shelter. This is great. Then don't let structures on land sway your decision.
Yes, cold doesn’t bother me too much. I lived in Spokane, got really cold there also. First year it snowed 96 inches. Just need to keep the fire going to warm the cabin.
There’s another one same town but it’s pending 64900 just over 31 acres with a cabin I’d pick that one but it’s pending half the cost is normally better both need work why pay double another hood video hope you get a good deal on one of them
that house is pretty nice. but i'd check into why the sh*tter ain't working. Looked like the property had exposed drain lines and I bet there's freezing during the winter. and yeah, what's up with the bucket on the stove vent. little weird. you're gonna want to treat the outside good too. pretty jealous what you're looking at. pick the right one and balance your maintainence and what you want to commit to with your lifestyle.
As for what I’ve seen in your videos there’s not one reality person that knows what they’re talking about their just shooting off their hip offer them $50,000 or walk away that concrete basement is like living on a iceberg in the winter you have to put in another $30,000 to insulate it believe me I live in Maine good luck
@@Backyard_Chickens Hi, there are a few videos on it, some pro it, and some that look into what it actually means in practice. that one was on "The Heartland Institute" site on youtube, it's a year old but I just re found it easily. I think everyone should look into it as all western country's have signed up to it.
an ATV with a snow plow attachment would be needed for that long road coming in, a riding lawn tractor wouldn't be fast enough to remove snow,that pcs of granite isn't a good support because it's a long pcs and can fracture, its kinda thin and the upstairs joist doesn't sit totally ontop of the column, sorry just my opinion
@Backyard_Chickens yeah the walls are too thin, you would have to put interior walls up to insulate it,the exterior walls are shed walls thats not a log cabin its a faux log

Just wow! This is a nice property and the cabins are very nice!
Cabin has lots of potential... I can see you and the hens living there😊

Love the cabin and the Mountain View!
Views are real nice. Stars at night will be incredible.
That cabin is gorgeous! Talk about your turn-key property. I would make steps right off that back platform for easier access to the cellar.
Yup, you need eyes on the place!! Like your videos!

Agreed, it’s a three season cabin.
It took me 5 years of looking before I stumbled onto a gem....
Of heavens, I hope it does not take me that long.
@@Backyard_Chickens I wasn't in a rush, still working and getting ready to retire, so I was taking my time. Best of luck to you...
Quite a clean sturdy well built cabin .Not to mention all the amenities. These guys knew what they were doing !
I agree; the men who owned it were friends and had worked on it for over 20 years. Unfortunately, age caught up to them.
Nice place. At my age the distance from medical facility and all those stairs would get me, although bringing in a modular home that doesn't need a cellar would be a great solution. You could truck in some loam and build raised bed gardens. I wish I was young again and had potential in front of me. :)
Semper Fi!. Yes, I would have to do all raised beds. The additional elevation might be a bit to much for me.

When I moved to rural Texas I came here many times being from Dallas. I knew exactly what I was walking in to.

Thanks for sharing this with us. Nice
Thank you!
Hope you get an inspection beautiful but far out for one person. Very nice
Yes, an inspector could definitely find things that I would miss.
Of the three cabins I would pick #1. The kitchen is the best. And would be able to build a downstairs sleeping space and not have to climb a ladder to go to bed.

Would need to plow .7 mile. One neighbor would help also.
The wood stove needs a single swing out door not two misfit doors that when hot would be a guaranteed hand burner…..placement in the center of the room is the best location…always.

As for the roof, I don't see any insulation on the inside. Not sure if they doubled up on the 4x8 sheets on the roof put any any insulation under the metal or not.
No insulation that I can see, would it be hard to heat?
Not sure if they used it in the winter. It might be harder to heat.

Buy it or I will😅 The foundation on the main cabin is set up to put stone or brick on. That’s why the footer ledge sticks out like that.

I'm downeast! come and visit
Is this in Alaska or Ontario? What are they asking just courtesy? For that cabin ?
No, I’m looking in Maine. Between Lincoln and Houlton.
I would want something closer to a plowed road unless you already plan on buying a 4wd truck with a snowplow. Also, it looked like there was zero insulation in the cabin. It depends on how willing you are to rough it I guess.

You'll need a truck in rural Maine!
Agreed, I have been looking, just hoping and praying the interest and truck prices come down soon. I will need a truck to move my travel trailor.
Its all rock under us ..welcome to Maine .lol
Ive started to notice that. Fine with me, I will make raised bed for gardening.
This guy needs to go back to Maryland and stay!!!
As for what I’ve seen in your videos there’s not one reality person that knows what they’re talking about their just shooting off their hip offer them $50,000 or walk away that concrete basement is like living on a iceberg in the winter you have to put in another $30,000 to insulate it believe me I live in Maine good luck

Unique still makes a propane stove that has a battery ignitor uses 2 c cell batteries. Typical realtor making stuff up as he goes along
You spend quite a bit of time at the second cabin!!!!!!!!!
Living in maine that first one is a cabin in all sence lol
Buy something!!!
lol, I’m trying to. There are a lot of things that go into buying a property. I’m working it, I really am!
I've never seen someone whine so much about a little off-roading.
Ok. I will try harder, lol.
Well, the first one was an absolute Dump
Unfortunately, some of them need some work to get the livable.
The big drawback with Maine is, it's a Democrat controlled state.
MD is the same. Maine allows concealed carry, MD only with training and license.
@@Backyard_Chickens Hi, can I ask is you removed my comment and link about the 30x30 accord or was it youtube that removed it? thanks.
@@davidallen1418 Not sure, I did not remove it. I will look for it.
@@Backyard_Chickens Hi, there are a few videos on it, some pro it, and some that look into what it actually means in practice. that one was on "The Heartland Institute" site on youtube, it's a year old but I just re found it easily. I think everyone should look into it as all western country's have signed up to it.
Don’t move into Maine! You aren’t welcomed
Keep in mind all that raw/un sealed wood needs a lot of attention. May be quite costly. I do like the concrete base foundation.
Agreed, but I am not sure if its insulated under the roof metal for not. Might be a 3 season cabin.
an ATV with a snow plow attachment would be needed for that long road coming in, a riding lawn tractor wouldn't be fast enough to remove snow,that pcs of granite isn't a good support because it's a long pcs and can fracture, its kinda thin and the upstairs joist doesn't sit totally ontop of the column, sorry just my opinion
Yes ATV with plow can help or a tractor. Not sure if the cabin is a 4 season cabin.
@Backyard_Chickens yeah the walls are too thin, you would have to put interior walls up to insulate it,the exterior walls are shed walls thats not a log cabin its a faux log
