A must haves, don't wants for Maine real estate.

It makes my job a way lot easier when the buyer for Maine property has a clear vision of the real estate objective. This is one of those that cruised in to the email inbox with 200 other emails this morning when the computer was fired up, turned on to start the day. It starts out with headings, criteria to help know what to bring out of the Maine real estate kitchen.

Own A Private Plane And Looking For Maine Real Estate?


Fly In To Houlton ME International Airport. It's small, friendly, quick to get in and out of. Right on the Canadian border of Maine too. I have picked up many folks who fly in, scope the area out, and get on their way. Had one home with land in the country in Amity Maine bought by folks that did not have kids. And wanted their four cats to avoid flying on a commerical airline. So for $15,000 from Washington State, they flew in with the cats on a twin engine jet like the rich and famous use. Slick, easy and the runways more than long enough.

During world war two, Houlton International was very busy with German prisoner barracks. The prisoners were a big help to the local potato farmers needing help in getting the crops planted, cultivated, harvest. And planes flew in to Houlton Maine were hauled before war was declared in to Canada to send to England by farmers with tractors!
