Property Description
If you’ve been searching for a true outdoor paradise, 194 Seboeis Road in Howland, Maine is a rare find. This expansive 516± acre tract offers an unmatched combination of upland forest, productive soils, wetlands, and direct adjacency to the State of Maine’s Pond Farm Wildlife Management Area. Whether you’re a hunter, wildlife photographer, conservationist, or someone who dreams of a large-scale homestead, this property provides an extraordinary setting for your goals.
The land features approximately 2,300 feet of road frontage on Seboeis Road and even includes nearly a mile of interior road, making access into the property convenient for trucks, ATVs, or recreational vehicles. With elevations ranging from 160 to 240 feet, the terrain offers gentle diversity. According to NRCS soil mapping, about 200± acres consist of Colton gravelly sandy loams—well-regarded for their productivity and suitable for potential building sites, food plots, or agricultural uses. The remainder of the property consists of peat bogs and wetland habitat that supports incredible biodiversity. This mix of upland and wetland creates ideal conditions for wildlife and enhances the recreational and conservation value of the land.
Wildlife enthusiasts will find themselves surrounded by opportunity. The property surrounds the Pond Farm Wildlife Management Area, a 450± acre state-managed marsh that supports thriving waterfowl populations and diverse habitats. With water control structures, vegetation management, and artificial nesting areas, the WMA is actively maintained to support breeding and migrating species. This adjacency makes 194 Seboeis Road not only a premier hunting location but also a sanctuary for observing Maine’s natural ecosystem. Whitetail deer, moose, bear, grouse, and countless songbirds are frequent visitors to the property.
Recreation abounds just beyond the property lines as well. South Branch Lake, a 2,035-acre semi-remote lake known for trophy bass, is only 6.5 miles away. The nearby Seboeis Stream and Piscataquis River provide trout, bass, and outstanding paddling opportunities. For motorized fun, ATV trails are accessible right from Seboeis Road, connecting you to Maine’s vast trail network.
Despite its wild feel, the location remains practical. The village of Howland with gas and grocery is only 4.5 miles away. Lincoln, with its hospital and building supplies, is a short 25-minute drive. Bangor’s international airport can be reached in 40 minutes, and both Portland (2.5 hours) and Boston (just over 4 hours) are within striking distance for weekend getaways or easy travel.
Whether your vision is a recreational retreat, timber and land investment, or a private homestead connected to hundreds of acres of managed habitat, this property delivers unmatched opportunity.
