This 3,600± acre forest land is the best opportunity to have a timber investment property while enjoying one of Maine’s best accessible wilderness areas. The parcel consists of 3,601± acres of mixed timberland located in the town of LaGrange in central Penobscot County. A rolling parcel, it has nicely thinned hardwood knolls and dense areas of softwoods lining the two streams that traverse the property. Harvesting has been done over most of the property in the past 5 years, leaving a well distributed stand of trees setting up the future harvest. Nice specimens of sugar maples, birches, ash and other hardwoods remain. The softwood areas are mixed with hemlock, pine, spruce, fur and cedars.
Water features on the property include both Birch and Hemlock Streams. Both of these are tributaries of the Penobscot River. Combined water frontage of the two streams is approximately 18,000 feet or over 3 miles! The riparian areas of these streams are incredible habitat for moose, deer, bear, wading birds and more. The streams are mostly slow flowing on the property with an occasional beaver pond providing the potential for a wild brook trout.
The outdoor recreation available on this property is diverse. The obvious hunting opportunities for trophy north country whitetail deer and black bear are just the beginning. Paddling and fishing the streams in the summer along with ATV riding the nearby interconnected trail system, which in winter doubles as an ITS snowmobile trail. The sheer size of the property makes it an ideal location for shooting sport enthusiasts. When you need a night out Bangor is just over 30 miles from the property. Catch a summer concert on the waterfront, enjoy a great meal in one of the many fine restaurants, try your luck at the casino, or launch your boat and take a trip into Penobscot Bay.
The town of LaGrange is a rural town with a population under 800 people. There is plenty of room to spread out here. Surrounding this large tract of land are other large timber property owners with thousands of acres in trees. You're just 30 miles from northern Maine’s largest city, yet when here, you have the feeling of being in big wilderness.
If you have an interest in timber as an investment this is the property you have been looking for. While you watch your trees grow and increase in value you can enjoy the best of northern Maine. Call today to schedule a time to see it.
