Bath Maine Heritage Days

John Herrigel - Southern Maine Real Estate | Maine Coastal Real Estate: Real Estate Agent in Portland, ME

Happy 4th of July all and as I return from a 7 month sailing excursion www.caribbeanendeavour.com I find myself re-enthused to enter the world of blogging. This past weekend Bath Maine hosted their annual 4th of July Heritage Days extravaganza. "What a town" I always find myself saying during this weekend. The street side vendors, the 5 mile road race, fireworks, live music, it has it all. I wish I had some pictures to provide but take a look at the large and all encompassing photo gallery from www.visitBath.com here.


For a Maine mid coast town less than 45 minutes to Portland... the real estate is affordable, the quality of life is high!!

Mid-Coast Maine - The Best of Both Worlds For Maine Waterfront Real Estate Buyers

The Mid-Coast Region of Maine is known all over the world for windjammer cruises, lobster bakes, and lighthouses. What is less well-known about the area is that there are a number of beautiful lakes and ponds which give freshwater lovers great places to boat, fish, and swim while providing easy access to coastal attractions.This region runs along the coast from Freeport to Belfast and includes the towns of Brunswick, Bath, Wiscasset, Boothbay Harbor, Damariscotta, Rockland, and Camden - all towns synonymous with the Maine coast. A few miles inland from all these coastal towns sit freshwater lakes and ponds offering a variety of lakefront and lake access home and land listings.

Old Indian names are not lost on bodies of water here. All within close proximity to the coast are lakes or ponds named Pemaquid, Megunticook, Sennebec, Chickawaukie, and Quantabacook. Also find a string of ponds - South Pond, North Pond, and Seven Tree Pond - a pond for baseball fans - Pitcher Pond - and, for opera buffs, Swan Lake.

However your taste might run in Maine waterfront real estate, you're likely to find what you want here. With the added benefit of accessing all that mid-coast Maine has to offer in activities and amenities, this location is hard to beat.

Lakefront Locator will get you to available listings in the Mid-Coast Region. LakeSmart, is a research tool that will give you important information about area lakes.

If you have a question or need a friend in the business let us know. We love Maine's lakes and ponds and want to share them with you.
