Settling in Orford
Is Orford right for you?
Orford suits outdoor lovers, remote workers and buyers of second homes. In a wooded or mountainous setting, check winter road access, the well and the septic system, as well as municipal rules on tree cutting and building on a slope. For a waterfront property, find out about the shoreline buffer strip and the flood zone. If you plan to rent it out, first validate the short-term rental regulations.
