Stunning off-grid cabins with huge swathes of land and sea views are being offered for bargain prices in notoriously beautiful condition – and they still have many modern conveniences

Maine’s vast spaces are ideal for those who want to live off-grid.

Large parts of the state are not connected to public utilities. This makes it an ideal location for homes that are not connected to the electricity grid. Also, for those who prefer to live self-sufficient and remote, they can use alternative energy sources such as solar, wind or a generator.

Whether you’re looking for ocean views, secluded woodlands, mountain vistas, or a lakeside retreat, there’s a Maine home for everyone, tailored to the needs of its residents.

There are a number of properties in different price ranges lurking.

Maine has several off-grid homes that use solar, wind, or generator power

Built in 1988, the two-bedroom, one-bathroom home is situated on a cliff with 500 feet of shoreline in an area known as the Bold Coast.

The house currently uses propane for power, and a set of solar panels can be reconfigured to provide more power via solar. Despite modern solar, the house has no access to the electrical grid.

However, the house does have hot water and a flush toilet with its own septic tank system.

Although the current owner only lives there during the warmer months, the well-insulated 140 square meter house can be occupied all year round.

“It feels like you’re on an island,” Charlotte Horovitz told the Daily news from Bangor. “You’re closed off, you don’t see anyone. You hear the ocean and the birds, and that’s it.”
