ICF Home on 20.5 Acres at the Gateway to the North Maine Woods

Set on 20.5± acres of heavily forested land, this property
at 1063 Oxbow Road in Oxbow, Maine offers privacy, efficiency, and direct
access to some of the most expansive wilderness in the Northeast. The land is
dominated by mature spruce and fir, creating a classic North Maine Woods
setting with gently rolling elevations ranging from approximately 630 to 670
feet above sea level. With roughly 850± feet of road frontage and soils
consisting of silty, gravelly, and sandy loams, the parcel provides both seclusion
and versatility for year-round living or recreational use.

The home, built in 1997, is constructed with Insulated
Concrete Forms (ICF)—a major advantage in Maine’s climate. ICF construction
delivers superior energy efficiency, durability, and quiet interior living. The
home is heated with efficient propane-fired forced hot air and includes central
air conditioning, a rare and welcome feature in this region. The second floor
offers 1,344 square feet of finished living space with two bedrooms, one full
bath, and two half baths. The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area
features hardwood floors and is designed for comfortable everyday living or
entertaining.

The ground level includes an additional 1,344 square feet,
currently incorporating a heated two-car garage and space that could be further
developed into additional living or recreational rooms. A private drilled well
and septic system serve the home, and a storage shed provides space for tools,
equipment, or outdoor gear. Step outside onto the large pressure-treated deck
and enjoy views of the wooded backyard—ideal for relaxing, grilling, or
watching wildlife pass through.

Oxbow is a true “last outpost” town, with a population of
around 50, located just 5.5 miles from the Oxbow Gate of the North Maine Woods,
granting access to over 3.5 million acres of managed forestland, countless
lakes and rivers, and thousands of miles of trails and logging roads. The
Allagash Wilderness Waterway is approximately 60 miles away, and the region is
well known for its hunting, fishing, and snowmobiling traditions, with
maintained trails accessible directly from the property. Despite its remote
feel, Presque Isle—home to a commercial airport, hospital, and major
shopping—is only about 40 miles away, offering a balance of wilderness living
and practical convenience.
