80± Acres Of Off-grid Mountain Land in Mount Chase, Maine

Description

If you’ve been dreaming of escaping the noise and settling
into a piece of wild, unspoiled Maine—this 80± acre tract along Mountain Road
in Mount Chase could be just what you’ve been searching for. Tucked along the
lower slope of Mount Chase itself, this rugged and remote property offers a
rare combination of natural beauty, privacy, recreational access, and
self-sufficient living potential.

This parcel represents the western half of one of Mount
Chase’s original 1800s lots, and it’s easy to see why it was chosen. With
elevations ranging from approximately 980 to 1,460 feet, the land offers
rolling terrain, excellent drainage, and possible mountain views with selective
clearing. A couple creeks traverse the landscape, adding scenic and practical
value for those considering off-grid development.

According to a NRCS websoil survey, roughly half of the
lower acreage features Bangor and Dixmont silt loam soils—suitable for pasture,
gardens, food plots, or small-scale farming. Whether you’re interested in
homesteading, attracting wildlife, or simply enjoying the diverse forest, this
land has the soil, water, and elevation features to support your vision.

One of the most unique features of the property is direct
access to the Mount Chase Trailhead adjacent to its western border. This trail
leads through forested terrain for approximately 1.75 miles to the 2,439-foot
summit, offering breathtaking views and a rewarding backcountry hiking
experience. Imagine walking from your cabin straight to a mountain summit—no
need to drive anywhere.

Located just 4.5 miles (as the crow flies) from Shin Pond
Village, this property sits in the heart of one of Maine’s most treasured
recreational areas. Snowmobilers, ATV riders, and wilderness enthusiasts know
this region for its proximity to Baxter State Park, Katahdin Woods & Waters
National Monument, Shin Ponds, Grand Lake Matagamon, and the East Branch of the
Penobscot River. Anglers and paddlers will also appreciate the nearby Seboeis
River.

Despite the remote setting, services are within reach—only 9
miles to Patten, 39 miles to Houlton, and approximately 1 hour 35 minutes to
Bangor via Route 11 and I-95.

This is an opportunity to own a truly special parcel of land
with elevation, water, timber, and recreational access. Whether for a weekend
escape or a full-time off-grid lifestyle—this property is ready for your next
chapter.
