Property Description
If you’ve been dreaming of a cabin in the North Maine Woods but have been discouraged by high prices or the limitations of leased land, you’re going to want to see this one. Welcome to 32 Nuthatch Lane in Greenfield, Maine—a rare opportunity to own a spacious off-grid cabin with nearly 26 acres of forest, stream frontage, and direct access to one of Maine’s best-kept secrets for outdoor recreation: the Stud Mill Road corridor.
This cabin sits in the heart of a wilderness area that rivals the feel of the North Maine Woods, but without the excessive drive time from civilization. Originally developed in the 1970s by the St. Regis Paper Company, the Stud Mill Road is a public access logging road that cuts through hundreds of thousands of acres of Maine wilderness. From your doorstep, you’ll have direct access to this vast network of trails and lands, perfect for hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, and exploring.
CABIN Set well back from the road for privacy, the 28×32 two-story cabin offers just over 1,700 square feet of living space. Built around 1988, it features three bedrooms and two bathrooms—one on each level. The home is designed for off-grid living with a simple solar system, generator hookup, drilled well, and a septic system already in place. A full basement with garage door access makes for excellent storage and workshop space.
LAND The land includes approximately 600 feet of frontage on Sunkhaze Stream, as well as about 580 feet on Pickerel Pond Road. It features a mix of Howland and Thorndike soils and a healthy variety of native trees. Elevations range from 190 to 250 feet above sea level, and a long private driveway adds to the seclusion.
AREA INFO You’re just 1.5 miles from Sunkhaze Meadows National Wildlife Refuge—11,400 acres of protected wetlands and woodlands filled with hiking trails and wildlife sightings. Alligator Lake, a deep cold-water fishery, is only 18 miles away, and the University of Maine’s flagship campus in Orono is under 15 miles.
Whether you’re looking for a full-time off-grid lifestyle, a recreational getaway, or a place to gather with family and friends surrounded by nature, this property checks all the boxes.
With annual property taxes of $1,248 for 2025. Don’t miss this unique and private retreat just 23 miles from Bangor and within reach of Portland and Boston.
