The Town of Kittery

The coastal town of Kittery, is Maine's oldest and southern-most town. Located in York County near Portsmouth, NH, Kittery boasts a rich history. The Naval Shipyard, active to this day, has been building ships since the early 1800's, including the 74-gun ship Washington, launched in 1815, and the Kearsarge, famous for sinking the Confederate raider Alabama during the Civil War. Kittery is bordered by the Piscataqua River and the Atlantic Ocean, providing protected anchorages and unspoiled beaches. With its rural, maritime flavor, it is a peaceful oasis just a few minutes from bustling downtown Portsmouth. The real estate market in Kittery Point offers some of the area's finest oceanfront, ocean view, waterfront, and other distinctive properties and estates.
