LOCATION New Portland is a quiet town of under 800 people, best known for its historic wire bridge — a rare surviving cable suspension bridge believed to be the last of its kind in the United States. While you’ll feel tucked away in the woods here, you’re still conveniently located. Kingfield, with local shopping, dining, and services, is just eight miles away. Farmington, home to the University of Maine at Farmington and the nearest hospital, is only sixteen miles from the property. The county seat of Skowhegan is twenty-eight miles away, and you can reach the state capital of Augusta in about an hour. Even Portland is under two hours, and Boston is just over three and a half hours from this peaceful cabin.
LAND The 26 acres of land rises gently in elevation from 560 to 640 feet above sea level and is a beautiful mix of sandy and stony loam soils, hardwood and softwood trees, and natural features including two small creeks and interior trails for walking, riding, or exploring. A gated driveway ensures your privacy, and the surrounding woods give you the feel of true Maine wilderness while still offering access to modern amenities not far away.
MAINE CABIN The cabin itself is a 24 by 24 wood-framed structure with a 6-foot by 24-foot screened-in porch, perfect for morning coffee or winding down in the evening. Inside, you’ll find a simple but functional layout with an open kitchen, dining, and living area, one bedroom on the main floor, and a loft sleeping area above. The cabin is set on concrete posts, has a drilled well already in place, and includes a septic tank, though a leach field will need to be installed for full use. Outside, a fire pit invites you to gather under the stars, and two 20-foot storage containers provide space for tools, gear, and equipment. A shooting berm on site adds to the versatility of the land for sporting use.
REGION This location puts you in the heart of western Maine’s outdoor playground. Sugarloaf, Maine’s biggest ski mountain, is just 24 miles away. The Bigelow Preserve and the Appalachian Trail are less than 30 miles from your doorstep. And the Kennebec River — known for paddling, fly fishing, and its healthy populations of brook trout, rainbow, brown, and landlocked salmon — is only a short drive away.
Whether you’re looking for a hunting camp, a four-season getaway, or a place to unplug and reconnect with nature, 153 Colegrove Road is the real Maine experience. Don’t miss your opportunity to own this unique off-grid cabin in one of the state’s most beautiful and adventure-rich regions.
