My name is Chris Dodge and I live right here in the great state of Tennessee. My family and I are full adventurers filled with passion to see the amazing things our state has to offer. We are avid hikers and have explored many different places in Tennessee and beyond but we are always thankful to be living in such a glorious state.
The peaceful silence of rural living can not be beaten. When you step outside of your humble structure and only hear the serenading of the songbirds surrounding you, there is nothing quite like it. So if you want to live a simple rural life then we have the best place for off-grid living in Maine for you.
If it is solitude you desire then head on up to Aroostook County for a peaceful retreat.
Build your structure of choice and you can live in your own created space. Way up in "the county" you can find great prices for massive amounts of land. Making this one of the best places to live away from the city on a budget.
Imagine waking up and heating up a cup of coffee and stepping out on your deck as the fog starts to lift.
The sun peaks through the dense fog-like beams of light and the only sound around you are the birds waking up. This is what it’s like to spend your days off the grid in Aroostook County.

One of the biggest hurdles to overcome way up north is the winter.
You will experience a long and harsh winter but if you prepare yourself and make the right precautions you will be just fine. Swap out your truck for a snowmobile during the winter months. Then fire up the wood stove for a cozy cabin in the woods.
Large fields perfect for farming, or marvel at the rolling hills covered in nice healthy trees. With plenty of ponds, lakes, and rivers, you should have plenty of places to choose from to enjoy some quiet fishing.
With so much land and so few people, you will see an abundance of wildlife.
You will be able to find a kind local in the surrounding small towns to always lend a hand. The laws in Maine make off-grid living very doable if you know how to build and have help every so often. This is what you will find in the northern part of our state.
With plenty of room for solitude and budget-friendly land, all make Aroostook County the best place for off-grid living in Maine. Spend some time away from the busyness of life and enjoy the quiet of the northern woods.
