Located west of the Kennebec River in historic Somerset
County, Anson has deep roots in Maine’s agricultural and logging heritage,
dating back to its incorporation in 1798. Despite its rural setting, the
property maintains convenient access to regional service hubs, including
Farmington just 19± miles away, Skowhegan at 17± miles, and Augusta within 45
miles. Portland and even Boston are reachable for those balancing remote living
with occasional travel.

Outdoor recreation is a defining feature of this location.
Just five miles from the property lies the confluence of the Carrabassett and
Kennebec Rivers, known for clean, cold waters that attract anglers targeting
brook and brown trout. Winter enthusiasts will appreciate proximity to major
ski destinations, including Sugarloaf, along with additional access to western
Maine’s mountains and the broader Appalachian Trail corridor.

The land itself is well-configured and ready for use. A
driveway extends more than 400 feet into the property, leading to a cleared
building site of approximately half an acre positioned near one of the higher
elevations, ranging from roughly 420 to 520 feet above sea level. Electric
service is available at the road, and a dug well is already in place near the
frontage. The soils—primarily sandy and stony loams—support a range of uses,
including forestry, wildlife habitat, and potential grazing.

A standout feature is the well-managed timber resource, with
pre-commercial thinning already completed to enhance long-term forest health
and value. An internal trail network provides ATV and tractor access throughout
the property, making it easy to navigate and enjoy the full acreage, including
the “back 40,” where elevation and clearing could offer future view potential.

Enrolled in Maine’s tree growth tax program for low carrying
costs, this property represents a compelling combination of privacy, usability,
and long-term value in a highly desirable region of the state.
