Property Description
Located in the picturesque community of Patten, Maine lies a 50.7± acre homestead property. The parcel has year-round access from Waters Road, which is a public, paved roadway. The tract has 236.9 feet of frontage on Waters Road. A gravel driveway is in place that leads from Waters Road, back to the approximately 14 acres of grassland and wild apple orchard. The gravel driveway is approximately 450 feet in length which provides a good amount of privacy from the roadway to the cleared portion of the property. The driveway will need some attention as it has not been utilized in well over 20 years and the road surface has many small trees that have taken root during that time.
Once you get to the end of the driveway the property opens up to a large grassy area that has hundreds of apple trees growing throughout the roughly 14 acres of clearing. A ready-made apple orchard is here for you. Nature enthusiasts will welcome the opportunity to restore the fields and tame the wild orchard that has taken root over the past decades. The USDA soil maps show the vast majority of the soil on the property is farm class soils that can handle intense farming. Whether you are looking for a homestead, a property to build a hunting and vacation cabin, or just a parcel of land to hold onto, this property lends itself to any of those dreams and more.
Once you get back to the forested portion of the property you will find a wide array of tree species growing here. Pine, Spruce and cedar were found as well as maple, yellow birch, white birch and aspen. Old logging trails reach out throughout the tract, giving good access to all of the acreage. A grassy road follows a good portion of the northern boundary of the property. The road way parallels the rock wall boundary in that section. This is a great place to go for a walk and also an area where you will often encounter deer, grouse and other forest animals that inhabit the property. Fresh deer scrapes and rubs were found along this area of the property. Dozens of apple trees growing along the rock boundary provide food for the resident grouse and deer.
Waters Road Homestead is a property that checks a lot of boxes. Year-round access, utility power, fields and mature timber are all solid checks. A wide variety of flora and fauna already exist here. Whether you are looking for a land investment, a homestead location, or a place to build a recreational cabin? This is a property you will want to seriously consider. Waters Road Homestead is here for you.
