Description

Here is your chance to escape the crowds to Piscataquis County on these 135± acres of forested land for sale in Parkman Maine. Stream frontage, mountain views, interior roads and growing timber highlight this acreage. Use this land as a combination timber investment, recreational property and/or an off-grid homestead.

THE LAND – Surveyed into three distinct lots of 40+ acres each, the property is being sold as one offering. What this means to you, is should you decide to sell land in the future or gift some property to family, the surveying expense and permitting are done. The landscape on site is slopping hill side with elevations of 580 to 830 FASL. There are many options for building sites on the land because two roads gain access to the northern and southern sides of land. The north road is nearby the stream front and the southern road accesses the height of land with great views of the foot hills and mountains along the Appalachian Trail.

The northern 2/3^rd’s of the property are primarily forested by hardwood species while the lower 1/3^rd along the stream is maple, beach and other hardwoods mixed with spruce, fir, pine, hemlock and cedar. The last commercial harvest was done on the land about 7-8 years ago. Recently, about 16 acres has had precommercial thinning removing less desirable trees to promote improved tree growth of the hardwood stands.

WATER FEATURE – This property fronts Carleton Stream for about 2,500 feet. This headwater of the Penobscot River system is a freestone stream. It begins as springs on the north side of Huff Mountain in Wellington Maine and then flows northeasterly to the property before it continues on and enters Kingsbury Stream.  Build a cabin along this remote shore, sit on the front porch and enjoy the sounds of the babbling stream.

RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES – Getting away from crowds and enjoying all the outdoors has to offer is what we love most about Maine. Skiing the nearby mountains, fishing for wild brook trout, hiking the 100-mile woods of the Appalachian Trail, challenge your patience and skill hunting for trophy whitetail deer, jump in your ATV to explore hundreds of miles of connected trails; these and many more of these mind mending activities are on or nearby this property.
