The County (Aroostook County)

Often referred to simply as “The County,” Aroostook is Maine’s largest county by area — a vast inland and northern region bordering Canada, with endless forests, lakes, rivers, farmland, and open skies. Its wide‑open spaces, rural heritage, and outdoor‑oriented lifestyle make it unique within Maine’s regional landscape. 

Why this region matters

Seen as Maine’s most “untouched” frontier, The County offers expansive landscapes, dense forestland, rich agricultural roots, and a quieter rural way of life. It draws people who appreciate wide-open space, outdoor recreation, and a sense of solitude — whether they’re seeking a year-round home, a seasonal camp, a hunting or fishing getaway, or simply the feel of deep-Maine living far from coastal crowds and city activity.

Known for its small‑town heritage, forested surroundings, access to lakes and rivers, and a lifestyle centered around rural living, forestry and potato agriculture.

Houlton

The county seat and historical town with regional connectivity — offering history, community services, and access to northern transport routes (including roads to Canada).

Wilderness Access Zone

Given the thousands of lakes, rivers (including the Allagash Wilderness Waterway), extensive trail and snowmobile networks, and abundant wildlife, The County caters strongly to people seeking active outdoor lifestyles or remote‑property living.
