Maine Home Connection

On September 1, 1846, Henry David Thoreau set out from Bangor for the summit of Katahdin. He never made it — the clouds had other plans, twice. What he carried home instead became the opening essay of The Maine Woods.

We're standing where he almost stood to talk about that story, and everything else in this month's Monthly Connection - our version of Maine Real Estate, Lifestyle and Community,

Open House This Saturday: 144 Surf Street, S**o
September 5th | 12:00 – 1:30pm

Most open houses show you a house. This one shows you a different way of living.

144 Surf Street sits on a rare stretch of true oceanfront in S**o's Ferry Beach Park Cottage neighborhood — reached by a private road, with no overhead utility lines breaking the view. Just water, sky, and nearly 60 feet of deeded frontage.

Built in 1954, the property carries the kind of solid, mid-century character that's almost impossible to find today. Configured as three separate living spaces with seven bedrooms total, it offers real flexibility — a multigenerational family compound where everyone gathers, an income property with a strong seasonal rental history, or a reimagined property built new for the next chapter.

This isn't a house you buy for the finishes. It's one you buy for what happens there: mornings with coffee and the tide rolling in, kids running barefoot across the sand, holidays that keep bringing everyone back.

Offered at $2,300,000.

Stop by Saturday and see it for yourself. More details are available at: https://mainehomeconnection.aflip.in/144surfst

Happy 250! Exploring rumors and facts this holiday!

June in Maine is its own thing. Screen doors back on. Moose out at dusk. A Swedish festival in Aroostook County that's been running since 1871.

Every month, Maine Home Connection publishes The Monthly Connection — local stories, market insights, and Maine history you won't find anywhere else. No algorithms. No filler. Just the kind of content that makes you glad you live here.

A Maine boy changed Boston's skyline — and the story gets stranger from there.

This weekend, we put up our screen door. Not exactly headline news. But in Maine, it kind of is.

There's something about that first soft bang of the season that feels bigger than it should. Like the house itself is exhaling after a long winter.

Almost everyone has some version of this memory. A grandparents' camp. A cottage near the water. A back porch somewhere with the smell of something cooking and people coming and going through that door all afternoon. You don't really notice screen doors all winter. And then suddenly they're back — and so is everything attached to them.

This short film started with that idea. That homes are often remembered not by square footage or finishes, but by the small things. The sounds. The rituals. The feeling of finally opening things back up.

Every month we publish The Monthly Connection — a curated collection of Maine stories, local news, and market insight that we think is actually worth reading.

This month includes some Maine history. A lobster turf war. What the White House thinks about housing, and a Memorial Day video filmed in Belgium.

Influencer vs. influential ... there’s a difference.

In a world that often measures success by attention - likes, follows, and reach - it’s easy to lose sight of what actually matters.

Influence isn’t about being seen by more people.
It’s about creating real impact for the people who trust you.

In real estate, that shows up in the moments that matter most; helping clients make confident decisions, providing clarity when things feel uncertain, and guiding them through meaningful transitions.

Anyone can generate attention. Creating impact is something different.

That’s the standard we hold ourselves to. Imagine More!

If you’ve ever found yourself looking up your home’s value online, you’ve probably asked the same question we hear all the time… how accurate is it, really?
