Located in the picturesque community of Patten, Maine lies a 50.7± acre homestead property.  The parcel has year-round access from Waters Road, which is a public, paved roadway.  The tract has 236.9 feet of frontage on Waters Road.  A gravel driveway is in place that leads from Waters Road, back to the approximately 14 acres of grassland and wild apple orchard.  The gravel driveway is approximately 450 feet in length which provides a good amount of privacy from the roadway to the cleared portion of the property.  The driveway will need some attention as it has not been utilized in well over 20 years and the road surface has many small trees that have taken root during that time. Once you get to the end of the driveway the property opens up to a large grassy area that has hundreds of apple trees growing throughout the roughly 14 acres of clearing.   A ready-made apple orchard is here for you.  Nature enthusiasts will welcome the opportunity to restore the fields and tame the wild orchard that has taken root over the past decades.  The USDA soil maps show the vast majority of the soil on the property is farm class soils that can handle intense farming.  Whether you are looking for a homestead, a property to build a hunting and vacation cabin, or just a parcel of land to hold onto, this property lends itself to any of those dreams and more. Once you get back to the forested portion of the property you will find a wide array of tree species growing here.  Pine, Spruce and cedar were found as well as maple, yellow birch, white birch and aspen.  Old logging trails reach out throughout the tract, giving good access to all of the acreage.  A grassy road follows a good portion of the northern boundary of the property.  The road way parallels the rock wall boundary in that section.  This is a great place to go for a walk and also an area where you will often encounter deer, grouse and other forest animals that inhabit the property.  Fresh deer scrapes and rubs were found along this area of the property.  Dozens of apple trees growing along the rock boundary provide food for the resident grouse and deer. Waters Road Homestead is a property that checks a lot of boxes.  Year-round access, utility power, fields and mature timber are all solid checks.  A wide variety of flora and fauna already exist here.  Whether you are looking for a land investment, a homestead location, or a place to build a recreational cabin?  This is a property you will want to seriously consider.  Waters Road Homestead is here for you.

The property is located in St Francis, Maine which is a small town of approximately 450 residents.  This is a 4-season recreational destination.  The property fronts on the Saint John Valley Heritage trail which is a maintained ATV and ITS trailway for recreational vehicle use.  Winter visitors to the region flock here for its consistent snowfall.  Having direct trail access, without the trail bisecting the property is very convenient.  You can have the tranquility of a streamside cabin, and enjoy the thrill of riding on some exceptionally well-groomed snow mobile trails.  During the warmer months of the year, ATV trail riders can enjoy a vast interconnected trail network to explore the Saint John Valley and Allagash regions. Thibodeau Brook is a very nice free flowing trout stream that meanders by the cabin site just 80 feet away.  You will have the ability to catch a few brook trout right alongside your cabin for a tasty streamside lunch.  Hunters will appreciate the wildlife that can be found on the property.  Whitetail deer of bragging size, ruffed grouse in good numbers, snowshoe hare, black bear as well as moose all pass through or live on the parcel.  A good location to watch for deer and moose would be at the base of the ridge towards the back of the property.  Wildlife will follow that terrain feature and an opportunity to see a trophy buck cruising by, may reward the patient hunter. If you are looking for a year-round accessible recreational property or a homestead site that could be either on or off-grid, this is a very nice one.  It has well-built interior roads, ATV and ITS trail access, farm class soils, a well growing stand of young timber and a picturesque streamside cabin.  It can be found right here on Sugarshack Road in St. Francis, ME.  Call today!
