Description

Get away from it all at this lakefront lot in downeast Maine. This remote site is the perfect place to practice bushcraft and build an off grid solar powered cabin at a price that leaves money leftover for recreation.

WATERFRONT LAND This 2.91 +/- acre lot has over 200 feet of frontage on Western Lake; a small semi-remote pond in Robbinston.  The land is set high on a hillside less than 4 miles from the coast of Maine. Blueberry fields make up just under an acre along the roadside transitioning to mixed forest as it slopes easterly to the shore of the lake. Be one of the first in the country to enjoy the sunrise from the lakeside porch of your new cabin.

The site is off grid on an old county road. The cleared fields on the road would be the perfect place for a solar system to power your new cabin. The soils here are perfect for growing trees, blueberries, and other potential agricultural uses. The elevations range from 260 at the shore to 350 FASL along the road frontage of the land.

WESTERN LAKE  As with many waterbodies in Maine, the word lake and pond are not always accurately descriptive. Western Lake is a quiet 65-acre pond that is more suited to paddling canoes and kayaks than power boating. The State of Maine survey says this is an early and late brook trout pond. Western Stream leaves the pond and flows just a few miles into the Atlantic Ocean at Passamaquoddy Bay.

ROBBINSTON This is a small rural town in far eastern Washington County. The population is less than 550. This coastal location has a temperate climate with daily mean temperature of nearly 20 degrees in winter and the high 60’s in July and August. The nearest service center for Robbinston is Calais. This is one of two cities in the county. A hospital, shopping, grocery stores and a US/Canada border crossing is here. Nearby points of interest are Devils Head conservation area and hiking trails, the Saint Croix Island international historic site pays homage to Pierre Dugua's 1604 French expedition that began the French presence in North America.

WASHINGTON COUNTY This is the state’s third least populated county with just 31,000 residents. The coastal county has many small fishing villages along Maine’s northern coast and large blueberry fields in the interior. Thousands of acres of lands have been conserved and protected in this region including nearly 30,000 acres at the Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge to the more than 12,000 acres of Cutler Bold Coast Public Lands.
