Phippsburg is a large peninsula off of the city of Bath that juts South into the ocean and is about 45-1 hr from Portland. It has a year round population of about 2000 and in the summer it blossomes to about 5000. Home to Popham Beach State park and tons of hiking trails and areas to explore I grew up here and continue to summer in this wonderful location. Lots of micro communities with a mix of fishing villages, summer communities, year round living and Sebasco Harbor Resort with a 9 hole golf course, there iis tons of waterfront real estate primarily on the Kennebec and New Meadows rivers available. Overall the topography of the area lends itself to privacy with larger parcels and mostly wooded lots. The Phippsburg Maine real estate market is much more affordable than areas further south with a current inventory of 39 properties. Having seen 31 transactions at an average price of 274K in 2007, one can find great waterfront/view property in the 500K range.

Well folks, it's that time of year again. The air has cooled, the trees are a riot of colors, and every yard is blanketed in a thick carpet of red and gold. Living in Maine in the fall is like living in a postcard!
