Realtor Comments

Looking for an affordable property with character, space, and plenty of potential? The home sits on a level 0.14Â± acre lot along a paved public road and features wood siding, a combination of metal and shingle roofing, wood floors, a gravel driveway, and parking for up to four vehicles. The property is currently heated by a wood stove and has an existing well and septic system. A dug well in the basement is currently connected to the home, while an additional drilled well is located in the front yard but is not connected. Over the years, the seller has completed a number of projects, including adding blown-in insulation to the walls, attic floor, and beneath the first floor, updating plumbing in the late 1980s, and renovating the first-floor bathroom. The back half of the second floor has also undergone renovation, although work remains to be completed. A second-floor bathroom has been started and plumbed, providing an opportunity for a future owner to finish the space. Building materials currently on site are included with the property. Located near town and nearby public recreational water access, the property also offers convenient access to Lincoln for shopping and services, with Bangor approximately 32 miles away and Interstate access about five miles from the property.

Pros of Living in Enfield, ME

Affordable Housing & Real Estate
- Compared to southern Maine and national housing averages, property in Enfield is relatively accessible. Whether looking for a single-family home or a waterfront camp on Cold Stream Pond, entry prices and land costs are generally lower.
Cold Stream Pond & Natural Beauty
- Cold Stream Pond is the centerpiece of the community, offering crystal-clear waters for swimming, boating, kayaking, and ice fishing.
- The town is surrounded by dense pine forests and waterways, making it ideal for outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy hiking, hunting, camping, snowmobiling, and ATVing.
Tight-Knit, Quiet Community
- Enfield offers a classic small-town feel where people know their neighbors.
- Low noise pollution, clean air, and minimal traffic make it a peaceful place to unwind or retire.
Proximity to Regional Hubs
- While rural, Enfield is adjacent to Lincoln, which offers essential conveniences (grocery stores, local shops, medical clinics, and restaurants).
- Bangor is roughly a 45-minute drive south down I-95, providing access to a regional airport, major healthcare systems (Northern Light Health), shopping centers, cultural activities, and higher education.
Safety and Low Crime
- Like much of Penobscot County and rural Maine in general, Enfield enjoys low crime rates and a strong sense of personal security.

Cons of Living in Enfield, ME

Limited Local Amenities & Entertainment
- Enfield itself has virtually no major commercial development, big-box stores, or diverse dining options.
- Families with young children may find a lack of local recreational facilities, indoor activities, or organized community events, requiring drives to Orono or Bangor.
Harsh, Long Winters & Heating Costs
- Winters in central Maine bring heavy snowfall, freezing temperatures, and short daylight hours from late autumn through early spring.
- Heating homes (via oil, propane, or wood) during long winters adds a substantial seasonal cost to household budgets.
Limited Local Job Market
- The local economy relies mostly on forestry, small trades, municipal roles, and seasonal tourism/services.
- Specialized or high-paying corporate and tech careers are virtually non-existent locally, so residents generally commute to Bangor or work remotely.
Car Dependency & Commuting
- Public transit is non-existent. Reliable, winter-ready transportation is an absolute necessity for work, groceries, doctor appointments, and daily errands.
High Property Taxes relative to Services
- Maine has higher-than-average property taxes nationwide. In small towns like Enfield, municipal services (such as trash pickup or extensive road maintenance) may be minimal despite property tax obligations.
