About This Home

As of August 2025

This sun-filled raised ranch sits on a private lot in a quiet neighborhood that's walking distance to Camden Rockport High School and Elementary School. The back of the property abuts the Beech Hill Nature Preserve adding to the peace and quiet you'll enjoy here with the convenience of being just minutes to downtown Camden. The basement is fully finished with additional living space that would make a great home office. The possibilities for expanding the house and separate outbuilding make this property an exceptional value. The Town of Rockport has made plans to extend public sewer services along Forest Street to this property (see attached letter.)
