Description

If you’ve been looking for a large parcel of off-grid land in a quiet corner of west central Maine, you’re going to want to check out this 131-acre plot on the seasonal Jenkins Road in Temple. This property offers the ideal combination of acreage, water frontage, and sought-after location!

This property is a landscape of superlatives. It has gorgeous mountain views looking southeast from it’s plateau at approximately 1,600’. It has 5,000’ of water frontage on Temple Stream, one of the Sandy River’s main tributaries and multiple other brooks and streams cascading through the land. It has a well-developed interior road system that traverses through the property’s mature forestland. It offers direct access to thousands of miles of multi-use trails for snowmobiling, ATVing, hiking, and biking. It sits in the cradle of western Maine’s world renowned wildlife habitat teeming with moose, wild brook trout, Canada lynx, deer, and various forest birds.

All but one acre of this plot is enrolled in the Maine Tree Growth Tax Program, so you will benefit from a reduction in property taxes but retain the option to build an off-grid cabin on one of the many potential building sites found on the property.

At the western terminus of Maine Route 43, the tiny town of Temple has long been a favorite hideaway for those seeking the quiet secluded beauty of Maine’s mountains and lakes. This plot of land makes it obvious why. When you need access to amenities, Temple lies just northwest of Farmington where there are restaurants, bars, retail shops, essential government services, healthcare clinics, grocery stores, and banks.

This land offers broad ecological attributes, good-quality timber resources, and numerous recreational opportunities. Come homestead, hunt, snowmobile, ATV, mountain bike, or just hideaway on Jenkins Road!
