The access to the property is off of the paved Katahdin Woods & Waters Scenic Byway.  An extremely well-built private gravel driveway off of the public way curves through the property to a secluded and level potential building site, or just a great location to park an RV or travel trailer.  The gravel road is approximately 1000 feet long, so it sits back off of the public road, providing a private cabin, home or RV site.  Utility power is available for the property at the street, so building here gives you the option of connecting to the grid, or instead using an off-grid power system. 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 recreational opportunities to be enjoyed from the property are numerous.  Signs of whitetail deer, moose, grouse and black bear are found on the property.  Just a few feet from this location is Hall Brook.  You will find pan sized brook trout if you explore the shadowy pools and riffles along the course of Hall Brook.  Just 1 mile from the property you will find the headwaters of Hall Brook which is the 38-acre Hall Pond.  Hall Pond is a trout pond and has a maximum depth of 39 feet and its cool temperatures make it a healthy fishery for brook trout.  This pond is just 1 mile from the property so in just a few minutes you could launch a canoe for an afternoon paddle searching for a limit of trout. If you are in the market for a recreational timber tract that has it all.  You will want to seriously look at the Bear Mountain Homesite right off of the Katahdin Woods & Waters Scenic Byway.  This property has it all.

60 acres of Maine land for sale Sold

60 acres of Maine land for sale

Madawaska, ME
Aroostook
Sixty acres of recently harvested woodland for sale in the town of Madawaska, Maine.  The parcel is located on a town maintained paved road, in a rural part of the town.  The land around the property is largely farmland and timberland.  This property has everything that a recreational land buyer is looking for.  Great access, very good soils, privacy, a babbling brook, utility power available and access to ATV and ITS trail system.  This is a great long term land parcel to buy and hold.  The recent wood harvest was exceptionally well done.  I walked the property recently and found it to be one of the best-looking harvested lots I have seen in recent memory. The property has a roughly 5 and ½ acre spruce plantation that was expertly thinned during the most recent harvest.  This will allow the remaining trees to develop into saw logs for a future harvest.  The remaining acreage is primarily a mixed wood stand that has a few cleared patch cuts and the rest was thinned very well which will again allow the remaining young wood to fully develop for a future harvest. 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. As a hunting property you will find deer, moose, ruffed grouse and more on and near this property.  Moose and grouse sign was found throughout the property on a recent walk.  There is a small seasonal brook that bisects the parcel.  Nearby there are larger trout streams as well as Long Lake which would provide the trout and salmon angler many opportunities to fish for both brook trout and landlocked salmon.  If you are a fan of golf, the Long Lake Country Club is just down the street.  ATV and snowmobile riders will be thrilled to learn that the trail system is easily accessed from the property.  This sixty-acre property in Madawaska has it all.  Call today to view it, before it is gone.

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.
