Mattagudus Stream is a trout filled stream that is a tributary of the Mattawamkeag River.  The stream is deep and flows through 1000’s of acres of undeveloped woodlands that are home to large moose, deer and black bear.  Mattagudus Stream is a very productive trout stream and often produces native brook trout in the 17-18” class.  It is a great stream to cast a fly to a hungry trout in the early evening or as the sun is rising in the early morning.  The water falls under Maine’s general rules, so if casting a fly isn’t for you, angle worms have taken many a trout from this stream.

The property is situated in one of Maine’s unorganized townships which keep the property taxes extremely low.  Currently the property taxes for the property are well under $500 annually.  There is a small grocery store in Springfield to get last minute items and your service center for the area would be the town of Lincoln.  In Lincoln you will find several stores, a few car dealerships, several restaurants as well as a hospital, doctors, dentists, and building supplies.

The home is going to need some work.  It has been used as a rental for several years, and it can use some updating.  There is plenty of room to expand the home, if more room is needed.  If you would like a home on a trout stream that is year-round accessible with very low taxes and very few neighbors, then take a look at this rustic country home in Prentiss, Maine.
