Kents Hill pairs quiet, country living with a surprising amount of energy thanks to its storied independent school and a landscape stitched together by lakes, woods, and rolling farmland. Daily life often revolves around the campus of Kents Hill School, while Torsey Pond and nearby Maranacook Lake draw paddlers, anglers, and sunset-watchers from spring through late fall. For dining, arts, and services, residents head to Augusta and the riverside galleries of Hallowell, with additional conveniences in neighboring Winthrop.
Families appreciate strong education options: the college-prep rigor of Kents Hill School, and the well-regarded public network at Maranacook Area Schools (RSU 38), including Maranacook Community High School. The town’s recreation culture is deep, with trail systems and conserved land stewarded by the Kennebec Land Trust and community programming via the Town of Readfield. Lake lovers track water quality and stewardship with the Cobbossee Watershed District, and history buffs are minutes from the exhibits at the Maine State Museum in the state capital.
Housing runs the gamut from classic farmhouses and camp-style cottages to newer builds tucked off quiet roads, with waterfront opportunities in reach across Belgrade and the wider Kennebec County area.
