Property Description
Are you looking for a large, affordable tract of Maine land that’s easily accessible year-round? This 40± acre surveyed property in the unorganized territory of T24 MD, Washington County, offers the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience. Located along the well-maintained Airline Road (Route 9), this off-grid parcel is nestled in a semi-remote region surrounded by vast stretches of forestland, lakes, rivers, and recreational trails—making it an ideal retreat for outdoor enthusiasts and investors alike.
Good Land What makes this land even more attractive is its location within an unincorporated township, which means your property taxes are among the lowest in the state due to minimal public services. At just \$48.39 for the 2024 tax year, it’s a rare opportunity to own land affordably in one of Maine’s most scenic and wild areas. The parcel features approximately 708 feet of paved road frontage and sits at elevations ranging from 370 to 460 feet above sea level. The soil composition, largely made up of the Skerry and Colonel series, is well-suited to growing eastern hardwoods and eastern white pine. In fact, the property has recently undergone a pre-commercial thinning to enhance future timber growth, offering strong potential as a timber investment.
Surrounded by millions of acres of private land with public access, this area is a four-season recreational destination. Snowmobiling, ATVing, hiking, and paddling opportunities abound. Just a short drive away is the 7,000-acre Great Heath MPRL, home to one of Maine’s largest peatland ecosystems and a peaceful paddling route along the Pleasant River. Nearby lakes like Mopang Lake and Pleasant River Lake offer exceptional fishing, boating, and wildlife viewing. Mopang Stream, which drains the lake, is renowned as one of Downeast Maine’s best trout streams.
Though you’ll feel worlds away from the bustle of city life, you’re still within reach of key destinations—54 miles to Bangor International Airport, 55 miles to Ellsworth, and just 69 miles to Bar Harbor. Even St. Stephen, New Brunswick, Canada, is only 44 miles away, making a day trip across the border for golf or seafood in St. Andrews easily doable.
This Maine land is not only a recreational paradise but a smart investment in timber and off-grid living. Whether you’re planning to build a cabin, park an RV, or simply hold the land for future value, this property checks all the boxes for nature, privacy, and potential.
