Flourishing with lakes, ponds, and rivers, Newfield is a place with homes on still waters with views of rolling mountains. When people consider the natural beauty of Maine, it's the kind of town that might come to mind, even if they don't know its name. Locals live in a very remote area, almost 40 miles from Portland. Home to just over 1,600, Newfield's population hasn't changed much since 1859, when it was 1,418. "You recognize last names. You just know they are related to somebody who is related to somebody else," says Jennifer Bryant, co-owner of Hilltop Boilers Maple Syrup — one of the few local shops in the area. Houses here are either engulfed in woods or right on the shores of one of Newfield's many lakes or ponds. Here, 400-square-foot modern A-frame cottages in the forest could go for $200,000, a ranch by the lake for $400,000, and a custom-built log cabin for $600,000. Many of the houses on the water have docks. When it's warm outside, it's normal to see people kayaking, canoeing or fishing. Mature trees are everywhere in Newfield, Maine; locals can tie up hammocks and rest, listening to crickets and birds. Crime here is remarkably low by national standards, leaving less to worry about. "What crime?" Bryant says. "When my kids say they are going out for a walk, they are going into the woods," Bryant says. Nature is abundant here, with several mountains close to homes. Knox Mountain offers beautiful, forested views. Its trail takes people through a forest, over a stream, down a dirt road and up toward its peak, where they can relax and look at the terrain. Newfield Public Beach by Rock Haven Lake provides a quiet swimming spot and a boat ramp for days on the water. Newfield has a freshwater spring known only by residents. "We go fill up our water bottles there. It's the best water. It's crazy how much water comes off the mountain," Bryant says. Food sovereignty laws allow local producers to sell their farm-fresh goods at food stands on their front lawns, which is ideal, as there is no grocery store for miles. Most of these stands are on an honor system; people leave cash in a jar. According to Bryant, most locals travel 20 to 40 miles to places like Sanford and Waterboro for one. Similarly, there is no retail, but locals like it that way. "I don't miss it," Byrant says. "I couldn't imagine living in a city." Blue Bay Seafood & Steaks is just over the New Hampshire border in East Wakefield, serving fresh food from breakfast to dinner. Newfield is part of School Administrative District 57 of Waterboro, Maine. Students begin at Line Elementary School before heading to Massabesic Middle School and Massabesic High School. Line Elementary, rated B minus by Niche, is the only school in Newfield; it has a nutrition department that gives "harvest of the month" presentations, teaching kids about healthy foods early on. Massabesic Middle has a C plus Niche rating, while Massabesic High earns a C minus. Neighbors live on acres of land, and when it snows, they clear right of way to snow mobile clubs; when the nearby lakes are frozen, the community hosts ice fishing derbys. Friends also gather on Saturdays at Town Hall - which only recently got heat and running water - to jam. Around 20 to 30 people always attend. Most locals work outside the commuting, sometimes commuting an hour away to get to work; they stay for the community and family ties. This is a car dependent neighborhood with no public bus transportation. Locals can take Route 110 west from Newfield to New Hampshire and Route 11 south to Shapleigh. Portland is around an hour away.
