Luxury Homes and Lifestyle in Falmouth, ME: Seaside Elegance with Easy Access to the City

Falmouth begins the exquisite stretch of Portland’s northern coastal suburbs, its homes highly coveted by those looking to strike a balance between convenience and peaceful surroundings.

A mecca for sailing, golfing and nature walks

Residents of Falmouth enjoy life’s finer pleasures, all in close proximity. The town is home to three polished country clubs, a year-round skating rink, the historical Portland Yacht Club, and the largest anchorage in Maine, with over 1,200 moorings. Its nature preserves welcome mountain bikers, hikers, and horseback riders alike. The town’s largest block of protected space, the Blackstrap Hill Community Forest and Preserve, spans 520 sprawling acres. Mackworth Island is a beloved destination for nature walks, and Gilsland Farm Audubon Center is popular for cross country skiing, bird watching, and its famed peony gardens.

Restyled town center

U.S. Route One, the east side of Falmouth’s main arterial, is home to restaurants, boutiques, specialty foods and antique shops alike. Yoga studios, doctor’s offices and the Maine State Ballet Headquarters are also conveniently located here. A movie theater is currently under renovation, expected to re-open within the year. Recently, money was invested to reroute the power lines underground and install beautiful new street lamps, which now give the stretch a more welcoming village feel.

Elite schools and facilities

In the U.S. News and World Report ratings, the Falmouth school system consistently ranks among the state’s elite, with high college placement, active community involvement, admirably maintained sports fields, student gardens, and a performing arts center.

Falmouth, ME Real Estate: Oceanside estates, farms, lakeside properties and more

The Route 88 area of Falmouth, adoringly called The Foreside, features sprawling lawns that cascade to the Atlantic under the stoic gaze of impeccably maintained homes. Neighborhoods and country club homes spread away from the coast spanning the middle of town, and West Falmouth opens into larger parcels of land with farmhouse-style charm. On Falmouth’s westernmost border, spring-fed Highland Lake attracts kayakers, waterskiers and fishermen, with year-round homes and camps encircling its shores.

Country club living

Among Falmouth, ME homes for sale, water views are rivaled by equally pristine and peaceful fairway vistas. At Portland Country Club, golfers are treated to both, as are some residents of the adjacent Waites Landing neighborhood. Here, homeowners enjoy easy access to the club balanced by private home sites from which you can smell (and from some, see) the fresh, open Atlantic Ocean. Closer to the center of town, at the Woodlands Club, executive homes overlook a manicured championship golf course. Members of the club have access to year-round amenities including two pools, all-season tennis facilities, dining, fitness and more. Moving slightly west, Falmouth Country Club also offers traditional golf-side living, with clay tennis courts, a playground, outdoor pool, and a classic clubhouse.

Buying a home in Falmouth has long been a solid real estate investment; but more importantly, residents tend to deem it a positive lifestyle move. Ready to dial in your search for the perfect piece of Maine real estate? We’d love to help you find it here in Falmouth.
