FAQ

Straight answers.

Do you build ADUs in Wells?
Yes. Moody, Drake's Island, and the inland side of Route 1 are different lots. We open with the 600 sq ft Newfield, the Bentley garage plan, and the 896 sq ft Washington.
What site work matters in Wells?
Long roads off Route 1 and work near Branch Brook are the usual tickets. A beach pad and an inland pad are not the same access.
How do we handle septic in Wells?
Beach blocks often already have utilities. An inland lot is where the system goes, at a design from $700 and an $18,000 conventional start.
Do you build custom homes in Wells?
Yes. A custom Wells house starts at $325 per sq ft, land extra. The beach side and the inland side of Route 1 are different builds, and the site work is part of the same contract.
Are ADUs allowed in Wells?
Wells has to allow at least one ADU on a lot with a single-family, two- or three-unit home under 30-A MRSA 4364-B, the LD 2003 statute. Ocean, tidal, and Branch Brook shoreland can still rule a footprint out. We check the lot before a larger plan.
