Raymond is a lakeside oasis boasting mountaintop views
Just 22 miles west of Portland, Raymond is a town replete with natural amenities. Campgrounds encompassing Panther Pond exude quintessential summer vibes. The Raymond Community Forest features trails with Pismire Mountain views. Sebago Lake is lined with public beaches and private docks belonging to contemporary cabins. “Raymond has more waterfront property than anywhere in the state of Maine if you count footage,” says Lois O’Connor, owner-broker of Sunset Lakes Real Estate in nearby Casco. “The real estate market here spiked during COVID because it’s so rural. But it doesn’t feel very crowded because there’s no downtown.” While Raymond has no town center, residents will find numerous locally owned establishments along U.S. Route 302 and big-box retailers just a quick drive away in North Windham.

Raymond has country estates and large lake cabins along Cape Road
Raymond’s winding rural roads are dotted with four-bedroom ranch styles on half-to-two-acre parcels. Minimal traditional cottages surrounding Panther Pond feature unfenced lots backing up to small boat tie-ups and docks for swimming or landlocked salmon fishing. Country dwellings and homes along Panther Pond can cost between $350,000 and $500,000, a range similar to a Portland home’s average $500,000 selling price. “Cape Road in Raymond’s Neck is referred to as the town’s “Gold Coast” because of its multi-million-dollar estates on Sebago Lake,” says O’Connor. Long, private driveways off this thoroughfare lead to rambling six-bedroom log cabins tucked under a canopy of hardwood trees. With a price range between $3 million and $8 million, these properties typically feature private beaches and expansive moorings.

Sebago Lake memberships, quintessential summer camp fun and Pismire Mountain hiking
A short walk through a forested trail leads to the sandy Sebago Lake shoreline at Tassel Top Park. Sanford residents can buy a $70 season pass for the beach to enjoy lifeguard-protected swimming, ice cream from the snack shack and numerous hiking options. There’s also a public beach and a boat ramp off U.S. Route 302. While Panther Pond has no public entry points, children can enjoy summertime fun at one of the numerous camps. For instance, Slovenski Camps on David Plummer Road has week-long sessions with daily dodgeball games, sailing lessons and open swim times.
Aside from water activity, Sanford has several other recreational hubs to enjoy, like the 18-hole Slideshow Disc Golf Course on Murray Drive. Raymond Community Forest is along Conesca Road, offering 4 miles of trailway stretching through wild grape vines, white oak trees and the Pismire Bluff. Hikers will also find over 1,000 acres of wetland to explore at Morgan Meadows Wildlife Management Area off Egypt Road.

Locally owned establishments line U.S. Route 302
Raymond doesn’t have a designated downtown area, but a few locally owned eateries and businesses are sprinkled along U.S. Route 302. Residents go to Fishermen’s Catch Restaurant and Seafood Market for an award-winning lobster roll made with garlic bread. A La Mexicana serves cultural classics inside a retro-style diner, while Village Donut Shop & Bakery has been a go-to for freshly made pastries since 2013. Good Life Market is where people can buy 600 different wines, local beef, imported cheeses and many other locally sourced goods. The attached Swift River Café serves coffee made with house-roasted beans. A more comprehensive selection of groceries can be found 5 miles south at the Hannaford, Shaw’s or Walmart Supercenter in North Windham.

Raymond is convenient for drivers and ferry riders
Raymond’s rural roads don’t have sidewalks, but a 22-mile drive east on U.S. Route 302 leads to Portland’s core.
