The land is a mixed wooded site with areas of oak, maple and popular and white pine, hemlock, spruce, juniper and balsam fir. This property fronts on River Road for approximately 1,700 +/- feet. River Road is a paved year-round accessible country road. Overhead electric and underground communication lines are available along River Road. A gated driveway has been constructed over 600 feet into the property. This accesses a high level potential building site.
The elevations on this site vary from 170 to over 300 feet above sea level. The land along the edge of river road is more level and appears to have had some historical agricultural use as fields or pasture. NRCS soil reports the majority of the soils in this area are Plaisted sandy, gravely and silty loams. These are excellent soils for growing trees on the steeper areas and have potential on the more level areas for farming once the trees are removed.
