The name, Blue Hill, comes from a commanding elevation of land near the center of the town. The ascent begins at the shore of the bay, continuing in a gradual ascent for about a mile. Near the top is a dramatic rise of a huge mass of rock that forms the peak.

The top of Blue Hill is 950 feet above sea level. The hills of Blue Hill have extended and charming views on every side. The name Blue Hill comes from the trees that cover the area – these evergreens give a very dark blue tint when viewed from a distance.

Blue Hill real estate is a treasure to own in an area that is rich in culture and diversity.
