Property Description
If you’ve been dreaming of escaping the noise and settling into a piece of wild, unspoiled Maine—this 80± acre tract along Mountain Road in Mount Chase could be just what you’ve been searching for. Tucked along the lower slope of Mount Chase itself, this rugged and remote property offers a rare combination of natural beauty, privacy, recreational access, and self-sufficient living potential.
This parcel represents the western half of one of Mount Chase’s original 1800s lots, and it’s easy to see why it was chosen. With elevations ranging from approximately 980 to 1,460 feet, the land offers rolling terrain, excellent drainage, and possible mountain views with selective clearing. A couple creeks traverse the landscape, adding scenic and practical value for those considering off-grid development.
According to a NRCS websoil survey, roughly half of the lower acreage features Bangor and Dixmont silt loam soils—suitable for pasture, gardens, food plots, or small-scale farming. Whether you’re interested in homesteading, attracting wildlife, or simply enjoying the diverse forest, this land has the soil, water, and elevation features to support your vision.
One of the most unique features of the property is direct access to the Mount Chase Trailhead adjacent to its western border. This trail leads through forested terrain for approximately 1.75 miles to the 2,439-foot summit, offering breathtaking views and a rewarding backcountry hiking experience. Imagine walking from your cabin straight to a mountain summit—no need to drive anywhere.
Located just 4.5 miles (as the crow flies) from Shin Pond Village, this property sits in the heart of one of Maine’s most treasured recreational areas. Snowmobilers, ATV riders, and wilderness enthusiasts know this region for its proximity to Baxter State Park, Katahdin Woods & Waters National Monument, Shin Ponds, Grand Lake Matagamon, and the East Branch of the Penobscot River. Anglers and paddlers will also appreciate the nearby Seboies River.
Despite the remote setting, services are within reach—only 9 miles to Patten, 39 miles to Houlton, and approximately 1 hour 35 minutes to Bangor via Route 11 and I-95.
This is an opportunity to own a truly special parcel of land with elevation, water, timber, and recreational access. Whether for a weekend escape or a full-time off-grid lifestyle—this property is ready for your next chapter.
