A rural town focused on outdoor activities in central Maine
Extending west from the Androscoggin River, Livermore is a secluded, sprawling neighborhood filled with farmland and forests. “You cross the bridge from Livermore Falls into Livermore and it’s a different world,” says Jacob Stewart, a Realtor with Hearth & Key Realty who’s based in the area. “It’s quite rural—there’s maybe a Dollar General and a couple of corner stores.” Adventurous outdoor activities are the focal point in Livermore, and locals often spend their free time fishing, boating, hiking and riding ATVs and snowmobiles. Residents may drive a few miles to go grocery shopping or attend events in the neighboring towns of Livermore Falls and Jay, and state routes keep them connected to the larger cities of Auburn and Augusta. Livermore has a CAP Index Crime Score of 1 out of 10, which is the lowest possible score.
Many beautiful farms fill the countryside around Livermore.
Welcome to Livermore, ME.

Pondside homes and farmhouses on multiple acres
Classic New England homes and farmhouses take up residence along meandering, country roads in Livermore. Most properties have at least half an acre of land, though parcels can get much larger than that. “You’re going to get larger pieces of land. My last listing over there was 20-plus acres,” Stewart says. Home prices vary depending on both lot and house size, but generally, ranch-style houses built in the late 20th century cost between $300,000 and $400,000. Some farmhouses were built in the early 1900s and renovated, while others were built in the last year. Regardless of age, farmhouses on at least 5 acres are priced between $350,000 and $440,000. Since there are multiple ponds in Livermore, homebuyers can find waterfront properties as well. Ranches and Colonial Revivals from the mid-1900s with water frontage often cost between $425,000 and $500,000. There are also vacant lots available; a 2-acre lot may cost around $45,000, while 21 acres may sell for around $90,000.
Many homes in Livermore sit on an acre or more.

Fishing, skiing, boating and swimming throughout Livermore
The plentiful natural spaces in Livermore encourage outdoor recreation. “If you like fishing, this is a great spot. Since we’re right on the river, there’s a lot of bass and trout to be caught. I believe you can even catch salmon,” Stewart says. The freshwater ponds peppered throughout the rest of the neighborhood make for great fishing as well. Anglers can cast a line at Round Pond, which has a public boat ramp for residents to launch their watercraft. Tall pines and gently sloping hills frame Brettuns Pond, another waterway where locals take picnics and go swimming and boating. “There’s a large community here for side-by-sides and ATVs and dirt bikes,” Stewart says. The Brettuns Wheelers ATV Club is the local organization that maintains about 16 miles of ATV trails that weave throughout Livermore; members pay between $20 and $35 for their annual dues and attend monthly meetings. As a thick blanket of snow settles over Livermore in the winter, locals take to snowmobile rides, instead. The Livermore Trail Blazers Snowmobile Club grooms the trails and hosts monthly meetings at the Chuck Wagon Restaurant in Livermore Falls. Spruce Mountain Ski Slope, a small mountain with 11 trails, is just north of Livermore. The skiing area, which is co-owned by the towns of Livermore, Livermore Falls and Jay, keeps it old-fashioned, only offering rope tows to transport skiers up the mountain.

Orchards in Livermore and locally-owned eateries nearby
Orchards and farmland are plentiful, so residents don’t have to leave the neighborhood for fresh produce. Boothby’s Farm Market sells farm-fresh cucumbers, tomatoes and peppers when they’re in season, and community members can also spend a Saturday picking their own apples in the fall. Federal Road has a Dollar General and a few gas stations and convenience stores where locals can grab packaged items, but the nearest grocery store is in Livermore Falls. Food City, a regional supermarket, is on Main Street in Livermore Falls. Main Street also has a few local restaurants; diners enjoy burgers and steak from the Chuck Wagon Restaurant, a Western-themed establishment. From April to September, Softie Delite serves cones and sundaes with handmade seasonal ice cream flavors. In Jay, which is 10 miles north of Livermore, residents order pizza, sandwiches and cocktail flights from My Dad’s Place, a bar and grill with an outdoor patio and trendy, rustic interior. There aren’t many retail stores in the area, so people drive out of town to go shopping as well. The nearest shopping centers are about 20 miles south in Auburn, where locals can peruse the aisles at Target, Walmart Supercenter, Hobby Lobby and Home Depot.

Historic tours and seasonal events in Livermore, Livermore Falls and Jay
Livermore, Livermore Falls and Jay have a joint chamber of commerce that organizes events where neighbors from the three towns gather. On the 4th of July, colorful fireworks are set off from the Spruce Mountain Ski Slope, sparkling over the Androscoggin River. Residents can watch the display at several parking lots and meeting points across Livermore Falls and Jay. The area celebrates autumn with the Apple Pumpkin Festival, an event where vendors sell seasonal treats, kids make crafts and local bands perform.
Near the center of Livermore, there’s the Norland Living History Center, an old estate with a 19th-century mansion, gothic library and Universalist church dedicated to educating visitors about its place in rural Maine’s history. Visitors can schedule tours, or attend themed events like Maine Maple Sunday, which features a sap boiling demonstration and the chance to sample maple treats.

State routes keep locals connected to Maine cities
Residents will sometimes drive ATVs or snowmobiles around the neighborhood, but Livermore’s rural setting makes it car dependent. State highways connect drivers to cities with major employers. Commuters use State Route 4 to drive 22 miles south to the twin cities of Lewiston and Auburn, and State Route 133 to travel the 30 miles east to the state capital of Augusta. Maine’s largest city, Portland, is a 60-mile drive south. The nearest medical center is in Farmington; the MaineHealth Franklin Hospital is about 20 miles north of Livermore.
There are many bodies of water to enjoy around Livermore.
