Phippsburg is a long peninsula south of Bath, set between the Kennebec River and the New Meadows River and reached by Route 209. It is home to Popham Beach State Park and several small villages, and a large share of its homes sit near the water or on wooded, rolling land. Many are seasonal or older year-round houses, and owners often want to expand, update or protect them from coastal weather. Most properties rely on private septic systems, and waterfront lots can bring shoreland zoning into play, so it pays to plan site work early. The single main road down the peninsula means equipment and deliveries need to be scheduled with care. Long driveways and steep grades are common and need a solid base and good drainage to survive Maine winters. Phippsburg is reached from our Woolwich base through Bath.
