Are the roads paved?
All the roads at the Peaks will be paved upon completion. Paving the lower roads has already begun.
What type of roads are they? (i.e. Town Roads vs. Neighborhood Roads).
All the roads are private roads built to town specifications.
How far do the roads need to be completed for me to get a building permit on my lot?
The road in front of your home site must be completed to the point that a safety vehicle, (i.e. a fire truck or ambulance) can reach the home site prior to a building permit being issued.
When do you think the roads will be done so I can safely access the home site I like?
It is expected that all the roads at the Peaks will be at this point by Fall 2006/Winter 2007. Certainly many of the lower home sites will be able to get building permits in the Spring of 2006.
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.
Are you bringing "cable" up the mountain?
Pending approval by the local Cable company cable will be available.
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. Often times 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 to our home site owners.
Is the land mass that runs east of the bridge common land? What's going to be there?
We are hopeful to obtain approval to have this be an access to the Sunday River and perhaps be known as "the picnic areas" for Peaks home site owners.
The number continues to increase and currently exceeds the number of lots available.
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...
There is one section of property known as “Land Retained by Owner” - What is this?
Good question, we’ve retained a block of land and have not determined how or when the majority of this parcel will be developed.
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 will be of high quality road standards?
3 ways. 1. Take a look for yourself, there are no corners cut. 2. We’re inspected on a weekly basis by an inspector who reports back to the state of Maine. 3. Maine Mountain Properties works on high end developments execlusively and have hired the best road contracting team in the area to deliver
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:
