Property Description
Tucked away in the heart of Aroostook County, 1350 Masardis Road offers a rare opportunity to own a handcrafted timber frame retreat on 145 acres of rolling fields, mature forests, and private trails. This remarkable property includes not just one, but two beautifully built structures—a cozy cabin and a rugged barn—both designed and constructed by Kennebec Timber Framing of Albion, Maine. Set back nearly a half mile from the road by a well-built driveway, the property offers exceptional privacy while still being connected to grid power.
The 20 x 36 cabin completed in 2010, is a high-posted cape with a half loft and cupola, set on concrete piers. Wide roof overhangs and a covered 12 X 16 porch provide both charm and practical protection, creating the perfect spot to sit back and enjoy a summer rainstorm or take in the crisp fall air. Inside, the cabin is warm and welcoming, with thoughtful details that reflect traditional craftsmanship. Just steps away, the 24 x 36 timber frame barn with an additional 10 X 36 lean-to, offers equally solid construction on a concrete slab, providing abundant space for equipment, recreation, or workshop needs.
The land itself is every outdoor enthusiast’s dream. Nearly 10 acres of fields surround the structures, while the balance of the acreage is a healthy mix of hardwood and softwood forest. Miles of groomed interior trails wind through the property, ideal for ATV riding, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, or simply a peaceful walk in the woods. Wildlife is abundant, from deer and turkeys to the occasional moose, and the owners especially enjoy the outstanding bird hunting for ruffed grouse and woodcock. Seasonal delights include wild blueberries, mushrooms, and even a small patch of hand-trimmed balsam fir Christmas trees.
The setting couldn’t be more ideal for those who love the outdoors. Located at the edge of the legendary North Maine Woods, the property sits just minutes from two gated entrances leading to more than 3.5 million acres of wilderness filled with lakes, rivers, and mountains. Local highlights include Haystack Mountain for panoramic views, the Deboullie Public Lands for hiking and fishing, and easy access to over 2,300 miles of snowmobile trails and 1,300 miles of ATV routes. Whether you prefer paddling the nearby Aroostook and Blackwater Rivers, skiing at Big Rock, or simply relaxing on the porch and watching the sunset over distant mountains, this property offers something for every season.
With its handcrafted buildings, diverse landscape, and unmatched access to Maine’s wild north country, 1350 Masardis Road is a true retreat—perfect as a hunting camp, recreational getaway, or private homestead.
