My grandparents lived briefly in York during WWII -- apparently a lot of folks in the inland part of Maine went down to that general area to help with the war effort. Then, when they went back home, I suspect there was a lot of property that became available.

Hard to imagine beach property in York these days going for less than 100 times that price.

I don't remember what the current appraisal was at, but I remember it was some insane amount of $$$... and it's just a summer property - they've been talking about winterizing it for year round use.

Well, IMO it would be foolish to sell it, because the average person could never replace it.

But, depending on how many rooms could be let out, a buyer could turn it into a B&B and make tens of thousands of dollars each summer, I'm sure.

It's not big enough to be a B&B, but they do have a cottage behind the house that they rent out during the summer.

Oh, they aren't there all the time ... but back when they were playing minor league baseball at The Ballpark in Old Orchard, Sports Illustrated had an article on baseball there, and they even mentioned at times in the bullpens there would be small fires so the smoke would keep the black flies away.

Maybe that's more of a spring thing, though. When I was at Saco a couple of weeks ago, no black flies at all.

Thanks for the welcome to the thread ... long time lurker, though I think I have posted a few times before.

Ohok....maybe its certain parts that the black flies just happen to roam.
I know I didn't have a problem on the beach because that's where we were,
and it was in August.

I think you did post here before but I couldn't remember

I think where you go to escape is all about a change of scenery... I guess I get the best of all worlds - live in seacoast NH, husbands family has a beach house in Maine and I have relatives out on the Cape... I usually head to the Mountains when need a change of pace

I agree.. the mountains in Vermont are beautiful as are the White Mountains in New Hampshire... love the coast of Maine too! Have relatives in the Camden area.

Lots of friends to be had.. I guess!

Nice to hear that... never can have too many friends!

I have a cousin who used to teach on the coast of Maine, and the dad of one of her students was a lobsterman ... she got as much lobster as cheaply as she wanted ...

I never heard of Eastover....have a great weekend!

 

[RainDove25]

Yup.. I am so excited.. have you been before? I have never, all my friends have and they keep telling me that I will have a great time. There are like 12 of us going and we are all basically sharing a room or something.. i dont really know all the details... it sounds so odd.. but the place is kind of run like a college campus.

I know of it, and I know people who have been, and I've been to that area before ... but never have stayed at Eastover myself. I agree it sounds like quite a bit of fun.
