LAND  Improvements-Views-Timber-Soils This land consists of 221 +/- acres of mixed timberland with old fields mixed throughout the acreage. This unique parcel has some amazing views of Mount Katahdin and the connected Appalachian Mountain Range. From your new home or cabin built on the west facing hillside, you will enjoy evenings watching the sun recede behind these prominent mountains. An already improved site along the road has a well, septic, driveway and gravel pad. The current owner is leasing this spot as a mobile home site and it is located in the southeast corner of the land. About 3 ½ acres is cleared to lawn, field and access road at this location. From the property’s frontage on Benedicta Road, the elevation is about 580 FASL and the topography is level for about 250 feet. From here the elevation changes quickly and opens up the mountain views. An interior road follows the southern boundary next to the home site then turns into the interior of the land. A small farm pond is located 900 feet from the current home site and could be a water source for farm animals or stocked for fishing. Per NRCS soil mapping, the soils on the property vary in capability from limited, moderate and intensive agricultural use to soil types best used for forestry and wildlife. The forest on the land ranges from a mix of hardwood on the higher elevations to mixed and softwood along the slopes and lower elevations.  LOCATION Big Woods-Conservation Lands-Farms Southern Aroostook County and Northern Penobscot County are very rural areas of Maine. The topography is dominated by a seemingly endless forest leading off to the horizon. Carved out of these woods are some beautiful farms growing potatoes, broccoli, corn and more. You need to take a drive though the area when the potato blossoms are peaking in the rolling fields contrasted by the Appalachian Mountains rising up in the background. Beautiful! Wildlife in the area is highlighted by the majestic Maine moose, large whitetail deer, black bears, ruffed grouse and wild turkeys. A hunter or photographer can make a good living here. The region is blessed with hundreds of rivers, lakes, and wild brook trout ponds. Baxter State Park is nearby and has hundreds of miles of trails and many mountain peaks to explore. Katahdin Woods & Waters National Monument and the International Appalachian Trail are also located in this part of Maine.

More stores and services will be found in Houlton, 42 miles north, and Lincoln, 40 miles south. Bangor International Airport is located just 79 miles away, most of which is over I95.

Located in Bradford, Maine is a waterfront cabin site, in a private, off-grid location that is for sale.  The property is behind a locked gate that is 2 miles from the property providing lots of privacy and security.  The road into the property, ends on the tract with no ROW’s through it.  This adds to the privacy that is found here.  The topography of the land is flat.  There is only about 20 feet of elevation change throughout the parcel.  The tract of land has over 3000 feet of frontage on Dead Stream.  Dead stream is a wide flowing waterway that is a tributary to Pushaw Stream and is part of the Penobscot River drainage.  Logan Brook and an unnamed brook add over 4000 additional feet of waterfrontage.  The land along Dead Stream is very nice.  The old growth forest is easy to navigate and several potential cabin sites can be found here.  Towering Pine, hemlock, cedar and fir are the most prevalent timber types along the waterways.  There were stands of maple found as well.  There is a large wetland area, along Logan Brook that is ideal for wildlife.  This is a fantastic recreational cabin site.  Whether you are a hunter, fisherman, bird watcher or naturalist, this property will appeal to you.  Tracks of otter, fisher, ermine and bobcat were all observed while on a recent walk through the property.  The calls of chickadees and pileated wood peckers were all that broke the silence on my recent visit.  The abundance of water found here provides habitat for migratory waterfowl which will be seen in the spring, summer and fall. The property is located in the small town of Bradford, Maine.  Bradford has a population of approximately 1500 residents.  Bradford is only 20 or so miles to Bangor, Maine where you will find healthcare, shopping, dining and more.   This is a property where the only sounds you hear will be the gentle breeze through the tree tops and the sound of the flowing waters with the accompanying calls of song birds.  The visitors you will see will be an occasional moose, whitetail deer, river otters and other forest creatures.  If you are looking for a wildlife sanctuary to call home, then give me a call, and let’s go take a walk on this 131± acres of waterfront land.
