Life in Andover
Andover brings western Maine into focus: a small village surrounded by mountain country, with a history shaped by farming, timber and water-powered industry. Incorporated in 1804, the town later became a starting point for visitors heading toward the Richardson Lakes. Its setting is the attraction for buyers seeking a home base where the surrounding landscape matters as much as the house.
Get to know AndoverA day here can be as simple as exploring the village and taking a scenic drive toward the lakes region. Andover rewards people who enjoy a quieter home setting and plan their outings around the outdoors. The mountain backdrop gives each season its own character; the village offers a different experience from an isolated wooded parcel. Visit both before deciding which version of Andover feels right.
