Rockport
Welcome to Rockport
Rockport is located 35 miles south of Maine’s capital, Augusta. It’s a small, coastal town known for its artistic community. It also has a prime location between Kennebunkport and Bar Harbor. It’s the perfect place to escape for some peace and quiet and offers beautiful views of the Maine coast.
Rockport was once part of Camden but was separated in the late 1800s. Since then, it’s developed a reputation as an artists’ community. Many artists come here to work, and their presence fuels much of the town’s economic and social success.
Most homes are single-family capes and ranches, and they offer a lot of land per plot.
