BEAT THE HEAT

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

Escape to Moosehead Lake where the days are cool and the nights are crisp.  While you are here check out the newly approved lakefront community—BURNT JACKET SHORES AT MOOSEHEAD LAKE in sleepy Beaver Cove, Maine.  We have available a limited number of oversized building sites with generous frontage on Maine’s largest lake. 

 Stop by the open house gazebo and say hi.  An agent will be on-site 10 AM to 2 PM, Saturdays and Sundays for the hot months of July and August.  You can also make an appointment for a personal showing at a time that is more convenient for you.

 We are easy to find.  Take the Lily Bay Road out of Greenville for about 6 miles.  Take a left onto the Burnt Jacket Road just over the Greenville town line.  Follow the signs for approximately one mile to the open house site on the right.   

 We have brochures and maps.  All properties have trails to the lake, so bring along a good pair of walking shoes should you want a guided tour. 

 Got some time coming to you?  Take a ride to Moosehead and cool off naturally.  Hope to see you this summer.

BURNT JACKET SHORES AT MOOSEHEAD LAKE

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

Seven more lots have been approved in this lakeside community.  There are 4 shorefront properties and 3 woodland parcels.  All 7 properties are accessed by their own private road called Otter Slide Lane.  This group of lots is connected to a private beach, a common green, a picnic area/playground and the other properties via a walking/biking trail.  The beach can also be reached by a gated roadway.

To find out more about this exclusive development, contact a broker at Wilderness Realty, 207-947-7957 or visit the website www.burntjacket.com.

MOOSEHEAD LAKE ICE OUT

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

The newly approved Burnt Jacket Shores at Moosehead Lake experienced its first ice out on Maine’s biggest lake which was on tax day, 2010.  This was the second earliest since records have been kept dating back to the 1800’s.  It missed tying the record by one day.

 This early ice out on Moosehead coincides with the early spring that we have been experiencing in Maine.  Winter really lost its grip here in early February and the weather has been the nicest in years.

 Because of this, Wilderness Realty is excited about the long season and beautiful weather to promote this unique lakeside community.  We are in the preliminary stages of planning an open house or two.  The roads and trails are all constructed, the snow is melted and brokers are now taking appointments for those who plan to be in the area or may have scheduling conflicts with the open house dates.

 In addition, if you would like to be on our mailing list and receive special notices, kindly contact us by phone (207-947-7957) or e-mail (matt@wildernessrealty.com).

 This should give folks plenty of time to plan a visit.  Hope to see you this year!

MOOSEHEAD WATERFRONT

Friday, November 6th, 2009

Even though the days are getting shorter, the leaves are off the trees and the temperatures are falling; this is still a good time to inspect the properties in the lakeside village of Burnt Jacket Shores at Moosehead Lake.  Wear winter cloths and a good pair of boots to keep you comfortable.  Don’t forget the gloves!                                            

This is an interesting time to look at land; just before everything is covered up with a heavy snowpack.  First of all, it seems easier to get around.  With the leaves off the trees and the underbrush killed back by the frost, the visibility in the woods is at its maximum this time of year.  One’s perception is that the woods do not seem so claustrophobic.  The only other time of the year to experience this phenomenon is in early spring just before leaf-out.  You can really get a good sense of a property under these conditions.

 Another good reason to look now is scheduling.  By the time all the paperwork has been reviewed and the deal is closed, you still have a few months to plan the construction phase of your investment before spring arrives.  You can have all the permits ready, contractors lined up and materials ordered during the winter months and get an early start for the upcoming construction season.  An early start means that you can be living in your new residence on your newly purchased land towards the latter part of next summer.

 Finally, an end of the year purchase can translate into a substantial discount.  Currently, many economic indicators point to an improving economy and an end to the recession.  This means more people will be spending.  Regarding Moosehead real estate, there will be an increase in demand for the limited number of properties on the lake.  This means higher prices.  The adage “buy now before the next bubble” may be blunt but aptly describes the potential market conditions for next year.

 Pick up the phone and make that call (207-947-7957).  Brokers at Wilderness Realty are available to show these beautiful properties weekdays or weekends.

MOOSEHEAD WATERFRONT

Friday, September 18th, 2009

Next Saturday, September 26th, is the much anticipated OPEN HOUSE for the Burnt Jacket Shores at Moosehead Lake development located in Beaver Cove, Maine. 

 This is a wonderful opportunity to view these properties and meet the people who helped create this unique lakeside community.  Bring your thirst for nature’s quiet solace.  Once you are here and experience the tranquil beauty of Moosehead, you will be hard pressed to suppress your desire and eagerness to own one of these special properties.

 Our September weather has been exceptional; cool nights and comfortable dry days.  The clear, clean Canadian air mass has been crisp and cool; making the sky during the day mostly cloudless and a deep azure.  The colors of the forest are beginning their annual, dazzling array; especially on the mountain slopes.

 Come on up.  You still have ample time to make arrangements to make your getaway.  Justify it as a mini weekend vacation.  There are plenty of accommodations locally for an overnight stay and a number of eateries to satiate your palette.  By the way while you are at the open house, there will be hotdogs and soda on us.

VACATIONING IN MAINE?

Friday, August 21st, 2009

With the dog days upon us and Maine being generally cooler than the rest of the Eastern Seaboard, many people plan their vacations for this time of year in the Pine Tree State.  It’s a beautiful State with a diversity of attractions.  The most famous is its thousands of miles of bold coastline and quaint fishing villages.  Other points of interest include the mountains along its western border with New Hampshire and Quebec Province boasting expansive vistas of unbroken forests.  Of course one must not forget interior Maine with its multitude of sparkling freshwater lakes beckoning boaters, fishers and swimmers.

For many, the attractiveness of the State keeps them coming back for repeat visits.  If you are one of these folks, perhaps you should consider owning a piece of Maine.  Wilderness Realty has a selection of prime recreational land tracts tucked away in the hinterlands of the State. 

Land prices in Maine, when compared to other parts of the east coast, are cheap.  There are many good parcels priced around $1000/acre.  Check out the 45 acres in Dover-Foxcroft for $47,900 or the 88 acres in Fairfield for $89,900.

Waterfront land is generally more expensive, but Maine prices are still well below that of other areas.  5 acres on a pristine Maine river for $19,900 is a steal!  How about 41 acres with TWO streams, year round access, power & phone for $59,900.  You can find information on both on our website.

Finally, we are excited about our new venture on Moosehead Lake.  We are offering, perhaps, the first lakeside community on Moosehead to be available to the general public in the past 3 or 4 decades.  Burnt Jacket Shores at Moosehead Lake is a well planned, exclusive development located in the sleepy little village of Beaver Cove.  New information is currently being plugged into The Burnt Jacket website and it should be up and running by the middle of next week.  For the eager blog reader who cannot wait, call for a brochure, map and price list (207-947-7957).  Give us your mailing address and we will promptly get a package out to you.
