Ranch Homes for Sale in Augusta, ME

Find Augusta, ME Ranch Homes for Sale

The ranch arrived in Augusta with the postwar expansion of state government, and the neighbourhoods built for it are still the clearest examples. North of the city toward Civic Center Drive and along the Old Belgrade Road, and east of the river above Togus, whole streets went up between the nineteen fifties and the nineteen seventies on level lots with attached garages and full basements. Single floor living keeps them in demand, and many have since gained a finished lower level or a rear addition. Coldwell Banker Plourde Real Estate knows these streets well.

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a ranch here?

The listing style field, which covers single storey plans including raised ranches and split entries where the agent recorded them that way, rather than a strict architectural definition.

Why are they common in Augusta?

The city grew quickly around state government and the Togus veterans campus in the decades after the war, which is exactly when this plan was being built everywhere.

What should be checked on one?

Roof and window age, whether the basement is dry and how any finished space was framed and insulated, heating system and fuel, electrical service size, and original bathroom and kitchen plumbing.
