Where in Maine makes a big difference. Portland is fairly cosmopolitan. If that's not what you're looking for, keep driving north until you find it.

I am looking for cheap undeveloped land, so northern Maine would probably be the ticket. It would be nice to be closer to the coast, if only for more moderate temperatures.
I've lived in Maine for my entire life. I love it here. It gets unbelieveably cold in the winter but you get used to it.
Good luck in your search for cheap land near the coast.

Won't be looking near the coast since I know it would cost a billion dollars to live there. I will be looking inland! I would simply prefer to have the more moderate temperature of the coast, heh.

If you're looking for cheap land near the coast and don't mind being out in the willy-whacks, consider eastern Maine, near Machias. That's a beautiful area.
I've also lived in Maine all my life and if you don't mind the cold you can't find a nicer place to live. Maine's one of those states that lodges itself firmly in your heart. Best of luck looking for land.
I'm currently in Maine. I haven't lived in Maine very long, as much of the time I was living in Maine, I was actually going to school in Canada. Maine is like a boring version of New Brunswick, and New Brunswick is like the capable of boring in the Maritimes, so that's probably saying something. I don't know, I stopped paying attention like 30 seconds ago.
I've spent time in 3 places in Maine. Augusta, which has stupid roads and creepy people. After about a month there, I was convinced that a majority of them were pod people. It's not safe for humans. Also, once, I was walking to work and an old lady was standing on her lawn with the garden hose and she said, "I'm going swimming a little later." And then she just stared off into the sky.
I'm currently in Lincoln, which is literally 2 roads. It's also home to the smallest Wal-Mart ever built. It's literally a garden shed that someone wrote Wal-Mart on. In this "Wal-Mart", they sell Burger King gift cards, but the nearest Burger King is more than 40 miles away. The people seem nice enough, and probably human, but it's immensely boring.
The place I was in between Augusta and Lincoln was Waterville. It was much better. It had actual things in it and the people were very much breathing. There was never too much traffic and the roads were largely not a mangled mess except for one small spot that was easy to avoid.
Maine. I can tell you what my Uncle In-law always tells me about Maine near Lincoln and Bangor.
* 9 months of Snow and 3 months of bad sledding.
* Do you like the cold? No really do you like being very cold?
* Wood pellets burn much hotter than coals. Remember that when you leave the stove burning all night and accidentally touch it in the morning before your coffee is made.
* The novelty of running outside and jumping in the snow and then running inside to a house that feels like a dry sauna, wears off before the first thaw of your first winter.
* Real men moisturize, even if they claim they don't.
* The novelty of hand shoveling snow from your roof, entrance, garage and drive wears off after the second major snow fall. Companies that make motorized snow blowers are kept in business by people in Maine alone.
* If you should happen to know someone who dies in Maine during the winter, realize it won't be till April or a month after the first thaw that you actually bury them.
* During the winter the Pantry is the most important room in the house. The Kitchen is second.
* If you don't own an all wheel drive vehicle, get one. If you don't know what snow tires are, learn about them. If you don't own a snow mobile, get one. If you don't own a portable generator, get one. If you aren't used to hording food and gas, start getting used to it. If you don't know how to drive on snow, take a class. Never trust that lakes are frozen until the Sheriff says it's frozen.
Lastly: If you can't handle having your nuts shrink back into your own body until you feel like one of the Vienna's Boy's Choir, then don't live in Maine.
The man lived over 20 years in Maine if not closer to 30. He moved to Atlanta after his wife cheated on him, then divorced him and still took most of everything. He said he got tired of living in a land that was as cold hearted a bitch as his ex wife. That says something.
I for one like Maine, during the Late Spring to Early Fall.

I think your concern should be what work you'll do once you get to Maine. If you have a job that you can telecommute, you should be okay. But, if you have specific field you need to be in, check the area to see what prospects you have.

Sounds like the U.P. of Michigan, which is awesome. Gotta love living like a caveman.
Never take life too seriously, you'll never make it out alive anyways.
You people are funny. While I am enjoying the apocryphal warnings about the dire cold and wretched wilderness of Maine, it's like you've forgotten, oh, the second largest country in the world that just happens to be north of Maine.
(I do agree about the moisturizing, though; now that weather is turning, bits of me are trying to flake off and blow away.)

Second largest by land mass; lots of land and a tiny population (most of which lives on or near their southern border). Maybe the cold has a little bit to do with that.

Also, it's west of Maine.

I can offer no advice to a man who thinks this way. I have lived in the American northeast all my life. The few times I was able to venture southward were pure heaven-- and this is coming from someone who prefers the temperature to be below 65 deg F whenever possible.
If I didn't want to have to board a plane every time I wanted to see my family, I'd pack up and move to Tennessee right now.
But if you truly hate the south, why stop at Maine? Alaska still has does homesteading-- land for pennies per acre, provided you're willing to live on it.
If you're going to move someplace where groceries are hard to come by, you might as well be able to hunt your own land.
