62± Acres with Over a Mile River Frontage in Maine’s North Woods

Discover a rare opportunity at 1000 Grindstone Road in
Grindstone, Maine—62± acres with approximately 7,000 feet of frontage on the
legendary East Branch Penobscot River, including your own 11± acre private
island. With more than a mile of cold, clear, free-flowing river and nearly
6,800± feet of road frontage, this property represents a truly scarce North
Woods holding with exceptional recreational, conservation, and legacy value.

Located in Grindstone (AKA T1R7 WELS), an unorganized
township with minimal population, the setting delivers authentic wilderness
character while remaining accessible. East Millinocket is approximately 6 miles
away for groceries and daily services, Millinocket and its regional hospital
are about 15 miles, Bangor is roughly 66 miles (about one hour), Portland is
under three hours, and Boston is within a half-day drive. Electricity is
available roadside, offering practical development potential without sacrificing
the remote feel buyers seek in northern Maine land.

The land features gently rolling elevations from
approximately 250 to 270 feet above sea level, with soils identified as Colton
and Redhook gravelly and sandy loams—well-suited for forestry, agricultural,
recreation, and potential building sites. The expansive river frontage includes
gravel bars, sweeping bends, and forested ridgelines that define the classic
Maine North Woods landscape.

The included 11± acre island is an exceptionally rare
feature in today’s market—true private island ownership on a free-flowing North
Woods river is nearly impossible to replicate. It provides unmatched seclusion,
creating a once-in-a-generation opportunity to establish a legacy retreat,
conservation holding, or exclusive recreational uses defined by water on all
sides.

The East Branch is woven into Maine’s logging and sporting
history and is now prized for its wilderness fisheries and paddling. Anglers
pursue native brook trout and landlocked salmon, while paddlers test their
skills on stretches that include the famed Grand Pitch. Wildlife sightings
commonly include moose, black bear, and bald eagles.

This property sits near some of Maine’s most celebrated
conservation lands, including Baxter State Park, home to Mount Katahdin and
over 200,000 acres of preserved wilderness; Katahdin Woods & Waters
National Monument, protecting more than 87,000 acres of forestland and river
corridors; and Penobscot River Trails, a four-season trail network offering
Nordic skiing, hiking, mountain biking, and panoramic Katahdin views.

This is more than riverfront land—it is a meaningful piece
of Maine’s North Woods with scale, water, island ownership, and proximity to
iconic outdoor destinations rarely found in one offering.
