Interesting. I had no idea lots that small could have private wells/septic.
I am curious, do many small towns NOT have public water/sewer? Certainly that's the case where I live in southern New Hampshire. For me, it's just the fear of the unknown -- I've never had private services so find them scary (well, not in the Stephen King scary kinda way, although ...
).

Love that idea, but I may end up in England instead (the old England!).
Actually years ago I found (online) a house in Jonesport that seemed to me to be very cheap ... its backyard was the Moosabec Reach. Just gorgeous. I would have loved to buy it as a second home (and future retirement home) but that wasn't feasible at the time (or now!). I didn't know much about the town either ... just loved that house's backyard ...
