Description

Welcome to 153 Colegrove Road in New Portland, Maine — a
true off-grid retreat nestled in the heart of one of the state’s most scenic
and adventure-filled regions. If you’ve been searching for a private escape
with trail access, beautiful woods, and a cozy cabin to call your own, this
might be the perfect fit. Set on approximately 26 acres, this property offers
privacy, peace, and direct access to the snowmobile trail making it an ideal
basecamp for year-round recreation.

LOCATION New Portland
is a quiet town of under 800 people, best known for its historic wire bridge —
a rare surviving cable suspension bridge believed to be the last of its kind in
the United States. While you’ll feel tucked away in the woods here, you’re
still conveniently located. Kingfield, with local shopping, dining, and
services, is just eight miles away. Farmington, home to the University of Maine
at Farmington and the nearest hospital, is only sixteen miles from the
property. The county seat of Skowhegan is twenty-eight miles away, and you can
reach the state capital of Augusta in about an hour. Even Portland is under two
hours, and Boston is just over three and a half hours from this peaceful cabin.

LAND The 26 acres of land rises gently in elevation from 560
to 640 feet above sea level and is a beautiful mix of sandy and stony loam
soils, hardwood and softwood trees, and natural features including two small
creeks and interior trails for walking, riding, or exploring. A gated driveway
ensures your privacy, and the surrounding woods give you the feel of true Maine
wilderness while still offering access to modern amenities not far away.

MAINE CABIN The cabin itself is a 24 by 24 wood-framed
structure with a 6-foot by 24-foot screened-in porch, perfect for morning
coffee or winding down in the evening. Inside, you’ll find a simple but
functional layout with an open kitchen, dining, and living area, one bedroom on
the main floor, and a loft sleeping area above. The cabin is set on concrete
posts, has a drilled well already in place, and includes a septic tank, though
a leach field will need to be installed for full use. Outside, a fire pit invites
you to gather under the stars, and two 20-foot storage containers provide space
for tools, gear, and equipment. A shooting berm on site adds to the versatility
of the land for sporting use.

REGION This location puts you in the heart of western
Maine’s outdoor playground. Sugarloaf, Maine’s biggest ski mountain, is just 24
miles away. The Bigelow Preserve and the Appalachian Trail are less than 30
miles from your doorstep. And the Kennebec River — known for paddling, fly
fishing, and its healthy populations of brook trout, rainbow, brown, and
landlocked salmon — is only a short drive away.

Whether you’re looking for a hunting camp, a four-season
getaway, or a place to unplug and reconnect with nature, 153 Colegrove Road is
the real Maine experience. Don’t miss your opportunity to own this unique
off-grid cabin in one of the state’s most beautiful and adventure-rich regions.
