Are the roads paved?
All roads at The Peaks will be paved. The only road remaining to be paved is Pinnacle Road, which will be completed spring 2010.
What type of roads are they? (i.e. Town Roads vs. Neighborhood Roads).
All the roads are private roads built to town specifications.
Is it septic or sewer?
Each home site is designed for a private septic system.
Is it well or town water?
Each home site is designed for a private well.
Is the electricity underground or on poles?
All power along the roads will be overhead, but we anticipate that many of the individual home sites will have underground power from the road to the house. You’ll notice we’re placing as many of the poles that we can on the lot lines to minimize obstructions.
What and where are the covenants outlining "what kind
of house" I can build?
Official copies of the protective covenants are available upon your request. The covenants are also available online,
download them here.
Are any of the home sites (lots) sub-dividable?
All lots that could be subdivided have been submitted for DEP approval, no further subdivisions can be made.
Is the bridge supposed to have the rustic look?
Yes, the bridge was designed to have a "rural feel" to fit in with the surrounding river landscape.
This project holds a Letter of Credit?
Yes. Oftentimes this is referred to as a "bonded project". Essentially our bank issues the Town of Newry a letter of credit that is sufficient to cover the cost of the road construction in full. We did this as an added insurance and peace of mind for our home site owners.
What is that 300' set back across the top of the mountain?
This is a protective buffer designed to preserve the existing hiking trails running along the top and back sides of Mount Will.
What is on the other side/back side of Mount Will?
Privately owned land that contains a network of hiking trails.
Are you going to increase the pricing of these lots?
Quite possibly, these lots have unsurpassed views in the best location of all Sunday River, so as the supply goes down...
What’s across the top of the mountain?
A network of hiking trails, amazing views in every direction, maybe someday a snow machine trail will travel in the 300’ set back.
How do we know the roads are built to high quality road standards?
Maine Mountain Properties works on high-end developments exclusively and have hired the best road contracting team in the area to deliver. Take a look for yourself.
Why are many of the lots at the top still remaining?
These lots have some of the most spectacular views, but because we built the road from the bottom up these lots have naturally been the last to sell. Many of our initial owners wanted to build immediately and the timing of the road construction was not suitable to them.
Is it true you can see 18 peaks from Mt Will?
Yes, most can see all of Sunday River and over 75% of the lots can see the Mahoosucs too. Here is the list of your views:
