Description

Here is a rare opportunity to acquire land on the pristine East Branch of the Penobscot River. Come take a look at this lot with 260+ feet on the river plus frontage on a year-round accessible road, located just 2 miles south of the Penobscot River Trails facility and 15 miles from Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument.

This property has an elevated building site that gently rolls out to the rivers edge. Imagine sitting around a campfire listening to the river and star gazing in the dark skies of northern Maine. The land is all wooded acreage. A natural privacy screen of thick evergreen growth along the road frontage gives way to mostly hardwood trees lining the river bank. The river at this location is flat moving water just upriver from Grindstone Falls.

Many residential and recreational uses can be done here. Keep it simple off grid and unplugged or go for grid power which is located along the road at this location. Install a driveway and gravel pad and park your RV here for weekend and vacation camping enjoyment; build a tiny cabin for year-round recreational use; construct your new home on the water in a rural location. The proximity to outdoor recreation would make this a quality place to have a weekly rental property.

If you enjoy an outdoor lifestyle, this is a premium location. The land is located just two miles south of the Penobscot River Trails facility in T2 R7 WELS AKA Soldiertown Maine. This is a private run, free to the public facility, that accepts donations for use. With 16 + miles of groomed cross country ski trails, hiking, snowshoeing and mountain biking, there is a lot to do. The facility includes a visitor’s center, headquarters building that us used for the Maine Outdoor Education Program, four quonset huts for seasonal storage, two warming huts and toilets all located along the trails.

The East Branch of the Penobscot River flows out of Matagamon Lake at the north entrance of Baxter Park. Here is a series of pools interrupted by famous rapids with names like Grand Pitch and the Hulling Machine. Whitewater enthusiast and trout and salmon fisherman will treasure this portion of the river. The land is located below the technical whitewater sections of the river and is a slower paced flow perfect for less experienced paddlers or those who want to enjoy the scenery and wildlife at a more comfortable pace.

The property is easily accessed being just 12.5 miles from the I95 exit in Medway, Maine. Services from health care to grocery shopping are in both East Millinocket, 12.5 miles and Millinocket, 19 miles from the land.
