Penobscot
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.

Access to the property is along the town maintained Fenderson Road.  There is approximately 1456± feet of road frontage along the roadway.  Fenderson Road ends approximately ¾ of a mile beyond the property and there is only one year-round residence at the end of the road beyond the parcel.  With only one residence at the end of the road there will be very little traffic most of the year.  There are large tracts of farmland surrounding the property, so you will have activity when crops are planted and harvested.  Access to the interior of the lot is benefitted by an existing 3800-foot-long winter road, that could be upgraded to provide access to a home or cabin site on the property. The tract of land has been logged in the past, but still has a good mix of both young and merchantable timber.  A recent walk through the property highlighted a good amount of spruce, fir, pine and aspen trees of merchantable size.  In addition to the aforementioned species there is a good amount of both white cedar and tamarack growing in areas along Clayton Brook.  Tamarack is a deciduous tree with needles.  Its name comes from the Algonquin Indian language and translates to “wood used for snow shoes.” The water feature on this property is extensive.  There is over 3900 feet of brook frontage.  Clayton Brook runs right down the middle of the property.  About midway along its path, there is a small pond of 3/4th of an acre.  The pond is an ideal location to observe one of the resident moose on a hot summer’s day.  Clayton Brook is a trout stream and tributary of Scopan Stream which terminates in Scopan Lake.  I am certain during late May and early June that exploring the shadowy riffles and pools along Clayton Brook will reward the angler with a feed of brook trout. The outdoor recreational opportunities available from the property are numerous.  Through the spring and summer, trout fishing along Clayton Brook is the pursuit of choice.  During the autumn months hunters would be rewarded for opportunities to hunt whitetail deer and black bear right on the property.  The Ashland area is a deer wintering yard.  The surrounding woods and farm fields support a good population of deer and other game animals.  Snowmobilers have direct access to ITS 85 which crosses the property right by the pond on Clayton Brook.  That section of interior road is in very good condition. Utility power runs the length of Fenderson Road.  So, if your desire is to build a home or camp in northern Maine, but utility power is an absolute, then this property is for you.  It has everything you are looking for.  Clayton Brook Forest is an exceptional tract of recreational timberland with great access, privacy, utility power, a beautiful trout stream and pond at a great price.

The property was selectively logged by a hand crew a couple of years ago.  The result is a healthy forest with a mix of young regenerative stands, some middle-aged trees, and a few mature trees.  The result is a very attractive woodland setting.  There are many varieties of timber on the property.  You will find pine, spruce, fir, birch, ash, cedar and more as you walk through the trails left by the recent wood harvest.  The sloping area of the property which is in the southwest portion of the tract, overlooks Bear Mountain and that section of the Appalachian Mountains. The town of Hersey has a population of 73 people.  That very low population density means you have quite a bit of privacy in Hersey.  The nearby community of Patten has a population of just under 900 people.  In Patten you will find hardware, groceries, a couple of restaurants as well as healthcare.  Patten is just a 10-minute drive from the property.  The city of Houlton is about 40 minutes away, and there you will find a community of about 6200 residents.  Houlton is the center of commerce for this part of Aroostook County.

The soils map indicate that the majority of the property has class 2 and 3 farm soils which would allow you to grow about any crop you desire once the land is cleared.  The topography of the lot has several flat areas and some sloping portions.  It is a very attractive property.  If you are looking for a larger parcel to build a home or recreational cabin in the Saint John Valley, this is a property you will want to consider.   It has great access off of the paved public road with over 800 feet of frontage on the road.  It has an interior road that bisects the property of nearly 1300 feet that provides access to the interior of the property.  A driveway to either side of this road would yield access to several potential building sites.

Hunters Hideaway Sold

Hunters Hideaway

Ashland, ME
Aroostook
Hunters Hideaway is a large tract of recreational timberland for sale in Ashland, Maine.  The ninety plus or minus acre parcel of harvested timberland was last cut around 2012.  The most recent harvest provided a nice gravel interior road to the center of the lot, and a really nice-looking stand of young aspen and birch amongst the taller softwood trees remaining from the prior harvest.  The property is located in an area with a healthy deer population.  This section of the town of Ashland has a large deer wintering area.  Knowledgeable deer hunters look to the Ashland area, especially late season, as deer are migrating from their summer areas to this area to “yard up” for the winter. The topography of the lot is fairly flat through the majority of the parcel, but drops off to the west.  Opening up a majestic view looking over the valley to the west is easily obtained by clearing a few acres of timber along the hillside.  Building a cabin in that area would provide great sunsets as well as nice summer breezes from the prevailing winds from the west.  Along with a flat topography the land has very good soils with 70% of the acreage having class 2 soils.  Class 2 soils can handle intense farming.  They also grow healthy stands of trees. Throughout the acreage there is sign of moose, deer and small game.   Several rubs, and lots of droppings and sign of browsing by whitetail on the fresh hardwood shoots show the presence of whitetail deer on the property.  This is an outstanding parcel that is surrounded by farmland, rivers and streams as well as timberland of various age class.  This is a location that with some advance preparation, some patience and time should yield opportunities to harvest a mature whitetail buck.  On a recent visit to the property, I encountered a shed hunter who showed me a nice 10-point rack he had found that morning as he was headed into the woods to look for a couple more drops from larger bucks he had seen on the property.  At the very back of the property the local ITS trail crosses by.  So, you do have direct trail access from the property with just a small amount of clearing. This is a great opportunity to purchase a tract of recreational timberland that you can utilize to hunt, camp and recreate on while each and every year the young forest grows larger with time.  The property has good access off the Frenchville Road and is just 20 miles from Presque Isle, and about 5 miles from the center of Ashland where you will find a small grocery store, furniture store, auto repair facilities and a few other small businesses.  Ashland is the gateway to the North Maine Woods which is an area of roughly 3.5 million acres of working forest.  Here you will find numerous trout filled waters, grouse filled patches of early successional forestland, large numbers of moose, and very few people.  If this sounds appealing to you, then give me a call so we can take a walk and view the potential of Hunters Hideaway, in Ashland, Maine.

100 Acre Timberland Parcel with a Trout Stream Cabin Sold

100 Acre Timberland Parcel with a Trout…

St Francis, ME
Aroostook
Located in the Saint John Valley of Maine is a year-round accessible 100+- acre timberland parcel with nearly 1200 feet of trout stream frontage and ATV and ITS trail access.  The tract was logged 6 years ago, and at that time over 7200 feet of interior roads were built providing access to nearly all of the acreage.  Included in the road building was the addition of a steel bridge crossing Thibodeau Brook that is strong enough for fully loaded log trucks to cross, so you can bet it is safe for you and your truck.  The property has a deeded, 60-foot-wide ROW from Route 161 that is for all purposes including utilities.  The tract of land rises gradually from the front of the lot which is at an elevation of 600 feet above sea level to over 1360 feet at the back of the lot.  The acreage is made up of several soil types with about 75% of the acreage being farm class loamy soils.  Historically the lower elevations of the property were farmed.  Today the property is largely forested, and the trees that grow there are benefitting from the good soil. In addition to the extensive interior road network the property has a very functional 320 square foot cabin with a covered picnic area alongside the babbling brook.  The cabin has a direct vent heater and a propane stove for cooking.  Drinking water is provided by an improved hillside spring, which gravity feeds to a spigot located along the picnic area.  The cabin is wired for generator provided electricity.  There is also a pole barn for equipment storage and other small buildings and gazebos located on the property. 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!
