Buying a place at Moosehead is getting pricey.

This isn't about units to be offered by the Plum Creek outfit, the "from away" developers that are attempting to score big upcountry.

This is regular property.

Your Scribe doesn't know why it is so expensive (though everything near water is pricey).

Moosehead Lake is so far away.

Obviously, far away depends on where you are.

It might be far from Portland, but it isn't a great distance from Bangor.

And we know that Mainers will drive.

That having been said, here is a cabin (here they say it is a home) that was recently advertised in a national magazine:

"This 3 bedroom - 2 bath year round home has a newly remodeled eat in kitchen with beautiful oak cabinets, new gas range, refrigerator & dish washer. Living room. Full foundation. Garden spot. Deck. This is the one you have been looking for. Approx 1.80 Acres (+ or-) Deeded access to Moose River. Being offered at $224,900."

Deeded access!

$224,900!

Will anyone buy this?

Would they ever make use of it?
