WELCOME HOME!
Sunset Acres is a resident-owned manufactured home community in Thomaston, ME. We are a terrific rural, family-friendly neighborhood moments from the rocky Maine seashore in the heart of the mid-coast. Situated on the border with Rockland, Maine, Sunset Acres is convenient to the vibrant Main Street Community, beautiful boardwalk and harbor of Rockland. Easy access to Route 1 connects the community to countless beaches, state parks and outdoor activities. The Farnsworth Museum and the Rockland Lighthouse are favorites to take in the history of the region.
Sunset Acres is owned by the community Members who live here – we are a resident-owned community (ROC). That means we control the rent and make the rules. On Feb. 24, 2016, the ROC purchased the land and infrastructure, such as the roads and water lines. Now, a democratically elected Board of Directors manages the business of running Sunset Acres. Every Member household in the community has a say in who sits on the Board, how we spend our money, the annual budget, and whether we make changes to the rent.
We're also part of a national network of more than 200 ROCs just like us. That membership provides us with access to expert coaching on how to run our ROC, leadership development and training, communication with dozens of community leaders who face many of the same issues we do, and more. Life in Sunset Acres Cooperative is truly different than in a commercially owned community – we invite you to find out firsthand how that difference makes living here so much better.
