Working traditions and a distinctly rural setting.
Buckfield’s identity includes agriculture, small manufacturing and an unusually memorable woodworking connection: local wooden eggs have been supplied for the White House Easter Egg Roll. Incorporated in 1793, it has a history that reaches well beyond its size. The town is a useful option to explore for buyers drawn to the Oxford Hills countryside and the character of a working Maine community.
The pleasure of exploring Buckfield is in looking beyond the property itself: fields, village buildings and the surrounding rural roads tell the story together. A home near the village has a different daily rhythm from land farther out. Make time to investigate that distinction, and to test the routes you would use for shopping, work or appointments. Rural charm is most rewarding when it fits the way you actually live.
