Is living in rural Maine really as peaceful and perfect as it looks? Or is there a side of Maine life most people don’t talk about?

In Episode 10 of Meeting Maine, we break down the 3 biggest reasons people love living in rural Maine — and 3 real challenges they struggle with every day. From wide open land, lakes, forests, and tight-knit communities to long winters, limited job markets, and access to healthcare, this episode gives an honest, no-filter look at what life is actually like outside Maine’s cities and tourist towns.

Maine is one of the most rural states in the country, with over 60% of residents living outside urban areas. That means daily life looks very different depending on where you live. Some towns are 30–45 minutes from the nearest grocery store. Some roads aren’t maintained year-round. And winter? It’s not just a season — it’s a lifestyle.

In this episode, Kyle Dennis (host of Meeting Maine and real estate agent with Pouliot Real Estate) explores:

✅ Why people move to rural Maine for space, privacy, land, and freedom
✅ How Maine’s lakes, forests, farms, and seasons shape everyday life
✅ The strong sense of community found in small towns
⚠️ The reality of winter driving, heating costs, and rural infrastructure
⚠️ Job opportunities, commuting distances, and economic tradeoffs
⚠️ Healthcare access and long travel times for essential services

If you’re thinking about moving to Maine, buying land in Maine, or wondering what it’s really like to live in a rural town, this video will help you decide if the lifestyle is right for you.
