Secluded Cabin on 550 Acres with Stunning…

Lakeville, ME
Penobscot
Come make some memories that will last for generations in the heart of Eastern Maine's natural beauty. Rand Brook Preserve is an exceptional off-grid retreat cabin set upon 550± acres of forestland with ridges, valleys, wetlands and nearly 1 ½ miles of frontage along the trout-rich Rand Brook, part of the headwaters of the Passadumkeag River.   LOCATION 1218 Upper Dobsis Road in Lakeville. This property location offers seclusion while remaining accessible to nearby towns and amenities.The small town of Lakeville, with just 104 residents reported in the last census, will insure you find the seclusion you have been looking for. This rural town with limited government services enjoys one of the lowest property tax rates in New England.   Conveniently located just eight miles from Lee for gas and food, and less than 20 miles from Lincoln for the nearest hospital, restaurants,  grocery stores, building and hardware supplies and many other services. Bangor, with its international airport and vibrant cultural scene, is only 70 miles away, while Portland and Boston are within three to five hours for longer excursions.   CABIN The charming 416-square-foot wood-framed cabin sits on the south facing slope of a ridge at 420 feet above sea level. This side hill location offers protection from the north west winds and at the same time is well located for off grid solar. Designed for comfort and functionality, the cabin includes a cozy bedroom, a full bathroom with shower, sink and flush toilet. It has a fully equipped kitchen featuring a gas range and refrigerator. A covered porch offers breathtaking views of the river valley and Passadumkeag Mountain. Additional improvements include a shipping container, a generator building/storage shed. All this is hidden at the end of a nearly half-mile-long private driveway. 550 +/- ACRES The land is a blend of rolling ridges, fertile valleys, and wetlands that support diverse habitats for many of Maine’s wildlife with elevations ranging from 260 feet along the brook to 600 feet above sea level at the ridge north of the cabin. It is not uncommon to see whitetail deer, moose, black bear,  otter, beaver, upland birds as well as waterfowl frequenting this location. A diverse mix of eastern hardwoods and softwoods covers the terrain, providing both aesthetic beauty and adding to the wildlife habitat. This uneven aged forest will provide revenue from future harvest or just let the trees grow adding value on the stump. The soils, predominantly silty and sandy loams, offer potential for planting in areas with gentle slopes and minimal rockiness. If you are into hunting there are plenty of places to make trails and construct food plots. Off grid homesteading is also a good possibility for those that are more self sufficient. WATER FEATURE Rand Brook is a short flat water brook that is nearly completely encompassed by this property. Approximately 7,200 feet of the brook flows through the land. The large forested wetland surrounding the brook filters and cools the water making it great habitat for eastern brook trout and rearing waters for Atlantic Salmon. The brook is a tributary of the Passadumkeag River and enters it  just west of the property boundary. The Passadumkeag is a major tributary of the Penobscot River. These wilderness watts see very little boating or fishing pressure because of their remote location and lack of easy road access. PLACES OF INTEREST This location is a gateway to adventure. The nearby Down East Lakes Community Forest spans over 57,000 acres, including conserved lands just a few miles from the property. These include a mile of protected shoreline along Horseshoe and Sysladobsis Lakes. The area boasts countless lakes—such as Upper and Lower Sysladobsis, Bottle, and Junior Lakes—accessible via nearby boat landings. Outdoor recreation abounds with hundreds of miles of ATV and snowmobile trails, as well as proximity to the Canadian border for access to the Bay of Fundy and beyond. CALL TODAY Priced at $525,000, with property taxes of just $732, Rand Brook Preserve is an extraordinary opportunity to own a slice of Maine wilderness, complete with modern comforts and boundless potential for outdoor recreation.
