Bethel & Newry
Tucked into the folds of the western Maine mountains along the Androscoggin River, Bethel is that rare New England gem where four-season adventure meets authentic small-town soul.

Tucked into the folds of the western Maine mountains along the Androscoggin River, Bethel and Newry is the rare New England gem where four-season adventure meets authentic small-town soul. Think Sunday River’s world-class skiing just six miles from Bethel's town center, yet the village itself feels like stepping back into a Norman Rockwell painting—brick storefronts glowing at dusk, locals waving from the porch of the Sudbury Inn, and peaks rising dramatically in every direction. For luxury buyers, Bethel offers the perfect trifecta: big-mountain lifestyle, complete privacy, and a genuine community that still gathers for town suppers and fireworks over the common.
Whether you’re looking for a legacy ski chalet or a modern timber-frame masterpiece with panoramic Mahoosuc Range views, I know every ridge, trail, and hidden driveway in this special corner of Maine.
Bethel’s high-end inventory spans classic New England ski lodges from the 1970s (many now beautifully reimagined), striking contemporary mountain homes with walls of glass, and sprawling riverfront or ridge-top estates with 20+ acres. There are many builders building spec and custom homes in the area, but some are better than others. Ask me for my recommendations on the best builders in the area.

Bethel is built for those who live outside as much as in—powder mornings, summer floats on the Androscoggin or swims in Frenchman’s Hole, and fall foliage in the mountains that stops you in your tracks.
Sunday River Country Club (private membership available) offers an 18-hole Robert Trent Jones Jr. course with elevation changes you won’t find anywhere else in Maine. The Bethel Inn Resort’s classic course is also a fun design and right in town.
Grafton Notch State Park (20 minutes) – Waterfalls, hiking, and some of the boldest scenery in New England
Sunday River – 870 skiable acres, eight peaks, and summer golf, ziplines, and mountain biking
The aforementioned Maine Mineral and Gem Museum makes for a fun day trip with the kids when the weather won't allow for outdoor activities
