Property Description
Welcome to the heart of eastern Maine’s unspoiled wilderness. If you’re searching for a private, off-grid retreat where the only sounds are the wind in the trees and water moving through a brook, you’ll want to explore this 46.3± acre forested property in Lakeville. Tucked away deep in the woods and well off the beaten path, this is a place to reconnect with nature and enjoy total solitude. There’s no road noise here, no traffic, no nearby airports—just peace, forest, and water.
LAND This surveyed parcel features approximately 1,200 feet of frontage on both Spaulding Brook and an unnamed tributary that flows toward Spaulding Pond. With rolling topography ranging from 560 to 700 feet above sea level, the land offers scenic elevation changes with potential for views and diverse build sites. The soils, primarily Plaisted and Howland per NRCS maps, are well-suited to growing trees and perhaps some crops, though rocky areas and slopes make this less ideal for large-scale farming. Instead, the true value here lies in timber potential, recreation, and a wilderness lifestyle.
LOCATION The property is accessed by a private road maintained by the Sysladobsis Lot Owners Association, which ensures consistent road access to your retreat. From here, Springfield’s gas and convenience store is just under 10 miles away, while Lincoln—with full services including groceries, restaurants, and healthcare—is about 45 minutes by vehicle. Bangor, Portland, and even Boston are reachable within a few hours for those planning extended stays or seasonal visits.
NEARBY ATTRACTIONS For outdoor enthusiasts, the surrounding area is beckoning. Lakeville lives up to its name with an abundance of water: you’ll find nearby foot access to Lombard Lake, Upper and Lower Pug Lakes, and Upper Sysladobsis Lake. Popular larger lakes like Junior, Scraggly, and Sysladobsis are also close by. A network of private roads links up to maintained snowmobile and ATV trails, giving you access to hundreds of miles of exploration.
Whether you’re looking to build a seasonal cabin, enjoy hunting and fishing, or simply want to own a piece of Maine to escape to, this property offers a rare combination of water frontage, privacy, and value.
With annual property taxes around $75, this land won’t last long.
