Today, we remember.

25 years later, we honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001, the families forever changed, and the first responders, service members, and ordinary Americans who stepped forward in the days that followed.

As a veteran, this day carries a weight that is difficult to put into words.

May we never forget those we lost, the courage we witnessed, and the unity we felt as a nation.

🇺🇸 Never Forget.

🏡 NEW LISTING | 2 OLD BELGRADE AVE. OAKLAND, MAINE

What if your next home wasn't about moving into someone else's vision—but creating your own?

This 4-bedroom, 2-bath Oakland farmhouse offers 2,484± square feet, old-house character, an attached garage/barn and something you don't often find at this price:

🌊 22± feet of owned frontage on Messalonskee Lake, per survey.

Inside you'll find tall windows, hardwood floors, substantial trim, a traditional staircase, built-ins, a decorative mantel and the kind of character that gives a renovation somewhere to begin.

And yes—this home needs work.

It is being offered as-is and will require substantial renovation. But for the buyer who has been looking for a Maine farmhouse fixer-upper, restoration project, investment opportunity or an affordable path to lakefront ownership, that may be exactly the point.

Restore the farmhouse. Reimagine the rooms. Keep the lake.

🛏 4 Bedrooms
🛁 2 Full Baths
🏡 2,484± SF
🌊 22± FT Owned Messalonskee Lake Frontage
💰 $289,900

🧇 Today is National Waffle Day!

Some of the best parts of a home aren’t measured in square feet — they’re measured in slow mornings, coffee brewing, and waffles on the table. ☕

Whether you like yours covered in Maine maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or just a little butter, today is a good excuse to make breakfast the main event.

What is your must-have waffle topping? 🧇👇

Today is all about celebrating the thrill of moving with the wind, because it is National Ride the Wind Day! 🌊

🚤 For me, nothing beats being out on a boat and soaking up the freedom of a sunset cruise around a lake - that’s my kind of wind-powered recreation. Today I just might go fly a kite!

Now I’m curious… what’s your favorite way to “ride the wind”? Ziplining, kite flying, boating, or something adventurous?
Drop your favorite in the comments, I might just add it to my adventure list!

Bring your vision to 2479 West River Road and transform this Sidney property into a home that reflects your plans. Situated on 0.70 acres, the 1,152-square-foot 1985 singlewide with additions home offers 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and a Harman wood-pellet stove.

A drilled well, private septic system, and cinderblock foundation with crawl space are already in place, providing a practical starting point for renovation.
