LOCATION Located on the Ackley Pond Road in the small town of Mount Chase. This road is part of the International Appalachian Trail System that continues from Baxter State Park meandering through northern Maine then into Canada before terminating at the end of the Gaspe peninsula. In the summer months, the road is a club-maintained ATV trail and during winter the road becomes ITS 81 and is well groomed by the local snowmobile club. The location is rural and remote, yet Shin Pond Village is just a couple miles from the land. It has two stores, a restaurant, and gas available. The town of Patten is located less than 12 miles from the property and with many services including hardware, building materials, grocery store, restaurants, health clinic and more.
LAND The 71± acres of forested land has good access over 3,800 feet of road frontage and interior trail. The trees on the land are mixed wood with spruce fir and hemlock along the small brook on the land and predominately hardwoods of maple, beech, and birch on the ridge tops. Located in the foothills of Wadsworth Mountain and Mount Chase, elevations on the property range from 810 to more than 1,000 feet above sea level.
NRCS soil survey indicated that much of the soil type is Thorndike, a soil type usually found on hills and mountains. This is a shallow soil formed in a thin mantle of till derived principally from slate, phyllite, or shale. As a somewhat excessively drained soil it is dry a good portion of the year. It does well promoting the growth of the tree species found on this site, and on some of the lesser slopes, could be cleared and cultivated.
Potential uses for this property would include timber management, off grid cabin or home location, seasonal rentals for camping or cabin rental, future division and lot sales, hunting, riding, hiking and many more recreational uses.
NEARBY A variety of nearby point of interest enhance the location of the property include the north entrance of Baxter State Park, Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument, East Branch of the Penobscot River, Seboeis River, Grand Lake Matagamon, Upper and Lower Shin Ponds to name just a few.
