I just want to be left alone.
Leave me along, just let me be. Hear that desperate plea desire uttered almost daily from Maine real estate buyers.
Space, privacy, peace and quiet. In crowded populated areas it may be impossible or just too darn expensive to create it. In rural Maine, not hard at all.
The wanting to be left alone. It’s not that most are anti social. The group just share the common goa for different reasonsl. Getting away from people too close for comfort. Especially the ones constantly on your case on how best to lead your life. That have to point out where you are doing it wrong, missing the target.
Ever notice many of the folks self appointed to help you with your life should spend more time housekeeping their own?
It gets old living with the evil eye and wondering here it comes again. Tightening up or smiling and trying to back away and run for the hills. What I am doing wrong now in someone’s opinion?
So Maine is the perfect place to create some space.
Less people, more wildlife and 450 small communities, villages. Just a handful of cities in Maine.
Like the old song “Stop the World and Let Me Off”, the Waylon Jennings song … The poor love sick guy wanted to stop the spinning.
Couldn’t function with the “As The World Turns” of romance gone bad. Can not survive without the other.. just sick of tired of going round and round when the partner’s flame went out and passion elsewhere sparked. Missing the kissing and tender hearted care after his love went away.
Where is the lever anyway to stop the carnival ride, the one called pull here in an emergency for relief from day to day round and round?
Maine offers a natural unspoiled setting for recreation and nature.
Four season’s worth of oodles of options.For leisure time spent fishing, paddling a kayak or canoe. Hiking a trail. Down hill, cross country skiing all providing exercise and a jaw dropping view.
The term “backyard” is very different depending on where you do live on the blue and green spinning marble.
To someone in Maine, your country neighbor is half a mile away. There may be a rock wall separating your property from the two hundred acres or more next door. In a 300 lot urban subdivision, everyone calls the fence company. To define the “backyard” that is measured in feet not acres. No side lawn, front yard and zero lot lines happens.
Grass, do you mow and how long does it take each week? Weed wack only and lots of bark chips not grass to shorten?
In Maine, we mow lawns like we hay.
Big open nicely mowed for the weekend lawns are the norm. Maybe they put drink holders on riding lawn mowers for a reason. I know people who say they do their best thinking mowing the lawn. Not in circles but angled, neatly trimming like you learned from a family member black belt lawn specialist growing up in Maine.
If you live where why have side windows but you can see the grain of your neighbor’s vinyl siding. No side yard, no back yard and parking. What about parking? Where do I do it? It has to be done out on the street. Or round the corner at a multi story parking garage for a hefty fee.
To get a sense of space, where you live now do you have to trot out of the cul de sac and down the street to a nearby park to get some?
Here’s a perfect example of a new property listing with 60 acres of land Maine homestead and only large land acreages, not people surrounding it.
Watch the Maine real estate video.
Looking for peace and quiet with plenty of elbow room?
Maine, one more reason to consider Vacationland to get space. You can spend time with yourself and figure things out or enjoy not having people people people.
The statement “I just want to be left alone” probably happens because the person crying out for space can not get it. Wall to wall people everywhere you look where they live now.
Spending some time with yourself in rural Maine but also prepare to get involved and volunteer.
Living in Maine is home grown not store bought. And more “if it is to be, it is up to me” approach to simple living in Maine.
No traffic, little crime, just pure and natural without the privacy fencing, zero lot lines, plenty of parking.
Maine is the way life should be. People are friendly because their personal space is protected and no problem maintaining it on a daily basis. Not just a week’s vacation in Maine for rehab. Maine, is she what is missing in your life? Do you want, need a piece of ME?
