Country living, outdoor recreation and small-town community in Greene
Greene is a rural Maine town with multi-acre properties, water recreation and a strong community feel, only 8 miles from Lewiston-Auburn. “It’s a great location where it’s country with lots of open space but still close to everything,” says Kristin Rofe, an associate broker with The Main Real Estate Group who’s sold homes in the area for three years. The Androscoggin River and several ponds in the community provide opportunities to get outside, and the community comes together to support the area’s local businesses and library.
Quiet streets line the tranquil neighborhood of Greene.
The grounds are expertly kept at No. 10 Eatery near Greene.

Water sports, trails and youth athletics for outdoor recreation
The Androscoggin River borders the community and is popular for kayaking and fishing. Boaters can put in at the over 2,500-acre Androscoggin Riverlands State Park, which also has trails for hiking in the summer and snowmobiling in winter. While winters in Maine can be snowy and cold, “you’re not looking at subzero temperatures,” Rofe says. Sabattus Pond is also popular for boating, and swimmers and picnickers can enjoy the water at Martin’s Point Park in Sabattus. The Greene Youth Athletic Association organizes youth sports, including soccer, baseball and softball. Kids can also get involved at the Julia Adams Morse Memorial Library, which has educational programs, book clubs and an annual book sale each spring.

Waterfront summer cottages and multi-acre properties
Two large ponds in the community — Sabattus Pond and Allen Pond — are surrounded by waterfront homes, many of which are seasonal “camps,” or cottages. Prices can range from $220,000 to $470,000, while year-round waterfront homes range from $470,000 to $950,000. Other homes in the area can sit on up to 70 acres, with styles including 18th-century colonial homes, midcentury ranch-style houses and late 20th-century split levels. “It’s relatively affordable compared to other areas in our state, and you can still find a really nice home that’s not going to crush your budget,” Rofe says. Fixer-uppers and houses that need updates generally cost between $60,000 and $250,000, while move-in-ready homes range from $250,000 to $730,000. Manufactured homes range from around $60,000 to $400,000, depending on size. Undeveloped land ranges from around $7,000 to $150,000.

Arts education at Leavitt Area High
Kids can start school at Greene Central School, which earns a B from Niche, and then go to the B-minus-rated Tripp Middle. At the B-rated Leavitt Area High, the annual Arts Gala has connected student artists with professionals for over 20 years. The artists each host a week-long workshop that culminates in an evening showcase of student work.
Greene Central School serves grades pre-k through 6.
Leavitt Area High School gains its namesake from a gift in 1895 from James Madison Leavitt.

A car-reliant community along Route 202
U.S. Route 202 is the community’s main thoroughfare, leading about 8 miles to Lewiston-Auburn. Interstate 95 is also 8 miles away and leads 46 miles to Portland. The Greene Baptist Church has served the community since 1793. Central Maine Medical Center is about 8 miles away, and Portland International Jetport is a 48-mile trip. The overall CAP Index crime score is 1 out of 10, lower than the national average of 4.
The Greene Village Day community celebration
Each September, Greene Village Day attracts the community to Main Street for a day of free events. The morning kicks off with a parade and pancake breakfast, followed by a library book sale, soccer games and a pie contest.
Businesses and restaurants with a local focus
A variety of locally owned businesses are in Greene’s town center and along Route 202, including A&A Hardware, Greene Village Pharmacy and Wilbur’s Antiques. “There’s a shop-local focus here,” Rofe says. The Sedgley Place is the community’s only restaurant, which serves upscale, locally sourced meals in an 18th-century house. The nearby No. 10 Eatery at WillowsAwake Winery serves American cuisine and has wine tastings. The Greene IGA and Family Dollar provide groceries to the community, and more options are in nearby Lewiston-Auburn.
At the Family Dollar in Wales you can find everything from home goods to pet supplies.
