Standish, ME 04084

"I have lived in Buxton and worked in Portland for 10 years. It is the EASIEST commute, and takes the same 25 minutes it used to take me when I actually LIVED in Portland and had to deal with traffic. (We now live 14 miles from the Portland line) I love living in the country, feeling safe in my community, and what began as "neighbors" are now "extended family." We were amazed that we could purchase an 11-room farmhouse, huge attached barn, and 2-car garage FOR THE SAME PRICE as what we had sold our tiny Portland cape for. Lower taxes, neighbors who are available 24/7, a terrific school system, and being surrounded by beautiful farmland... all while being so close to Portland. When this information becomes more publicized, I would not be surprised to see house prices rise here. We easily learned about wells and septic systems, and they have proven to be an asset instead of a hindrance. Buxton is a kid-friendly place, with ball fields, streams for fishing, summer programs, wonderful small libraries, as well as lots of roads to safely ride bikes. Pick all the wild blackberries you want...they grow wild just about everywhere! I guess I'd better stop. I could go on and on. But you get the idea. Lower prices on houses, lower taxes, schools with teachers who would do anything for their students, and take your pick of Saturday night bean suppahs! Please consider being our neighbor!"
