Sixty acres of recently harvested woodland for sale in the town of Madawaska, Maine.  The parcel is located on a town maintained paved road, in a rural part of the town.  The land around the property is largely farmland and timberland.  This property has everything that a recreational land buyer is looking for.  Great access, very good soils, privacy, a babbling brook, utility power available and access to ATV and ITS trail system.  This is a great long term land parcel to buy and hold.  The recent wood harvest was exceptionally well done.  I walked the property recently and found it to be one of the best-looking harvested lots I have seen in recent memory.  The property has a roughly 5 and ½ acre spruce plantation that was expertly thinned during the most recent harvest.  This will allow the remaining trees to develop into saw logs for a future harvest.  The remaining acreage is primarily a mixed wood stand that has a few cleared patch cuts and the rest was thinned very well which will again allow the remaining young wood to fully develop for a future harvest. The soils map indicate that the majority of the property has class 2 and 3 farm soils which would allow you to grow about any crop you desire once the land is cleared.  The topography of the lot has several flat areas and some sloping portions.  It is a very attractive property.  If you are looking for a larger parcel to build a home or recreational cabin in the Saint John Valley, this is a property you will want to consider.   It has great access off of the paved public road with over 800 feet of frontage on the road.  It has an interior road that bisects the property of nearly 1300 feet that provides access to the interior of the property.  A driveway to either side of this road would yield access to several potential building sites. As a hunting property you will find deer, moose, ruffed grouse and more on and near this property.  Moose and grouse sign was found throughout the property on a recent walk.  There is a small seasonal brook that bisects the parcel.  Nearby there are larger trout streams as well as Long Lake which would provide the trout and salmon angler many opportunities to fish for both brook trout and landlocked salmon.  If you are a fan of golf, the Long Lake Country Club is just down the street.  ATV and snowmobile riders will be thrilled to learn that the trail system is easily accessed from the property.  This sixty-acre property in Madawaska has it all.  Call today to view it, before it is gone.

Hunters Hideaway is a large tract of recreational timberland for sale in Ashland, Maine.  The ninety plus or minus acre parcel of harvested timberland was last cut around 2012.  The most recent harvest provided a nice gravel interior road to the center of the lot, and a really nice-looking stand of young aspen and birch amongst the taller softwood trees remaining from the prior harvest.  The property is located in an area with a healthy deer population.  This section of the town of Ashland has a large deer wintering area.  Knowledgeable deer hunters look to the Ashland area, especially late season, as deer are migrating from their summer areas to this area to “yard up” for the winter. The topography of the lot is fairly flat through the majority of the parcel, but drops off to the west.  Opening up a majestic view looking over the valley to the west is easily obtained by clearing a few acres of timber along the hillside.  Building a cabin in that area would provide great sunsets as well as nice summer breezes from the prevailing winds from the west.  Along with a flat topography the land has very good soils with 70% of the acreage having class 2 soils.  Class 2 soils can handle intense farming.  They also grow healthy stands of trees.  Throughout the acreage there is sign of moose, deer and small game.   Several rubs, and lots of droppings and sign of browsing by whitetail on the fresh hardwood shoots show the presence of whitetail deer on the property.  This is an outstanding parcel that is surrounded by farmland, rivers and streams as well as timberland of various age class.  This is a location that with some advance preparation, some patience and time should yield opportunities to harvest a mature whitetail buck.  On a recent visit to the property, I encountered a shed hunter who showed me a nice 10-point rack he had found that morning as he was headed into the woods to look for a couple more drops from larger bucks he had seen on the property.  At the very back of the property the local ITS trail crosses by.  So, you do have direct trail access from the property with just a small amount of clearing.  This is a great opportunity to purchase a tract of recreational timberland that you can utilize to hunt, camp and recreate on while each and every year the young forest grows larger with time.  The property has good access off the Frenchville Road and is just 20 miles from Presque Isle, and about 5 miles from the center of Ashland where you will find a small grocery store, furniture store, auto repair facilities and a few other small businesses.  Ashland is the gateway to the North Maine Woods which is an area of roughly 3.5 million acres of working forest.  Here you will find numerous trout filled waters, grouse filled patches of early successional forestland, large numbers of moose, and very few people.  If this sounds appealing to you, then give me a call so we can take a walk and view the potential of Hunters Hideaway, in Ashland, Maine.

Are you searching for a lifestyle in the outdoor recreation business? Do you need a replacement property for a 1031 exchange? Know a group of friends who want to purchase property for a hunting club? Maybe you just want a large property to build your dream home or mountain cabin? Come see Seventh Ridge Preserve in Guilford. This is 720 +/- acres of improved timberland located within the Moosehead Lake Region of Maine. LAND WATER WILDLIFE  This property is the culmination of decades of assemblage putting together a uniquely large timber parcel in the foothills of Maine’s Appalachian Mountains. The property’s diverse rolling terrain creates lake, forest, mountain, and valley views in all directions. It is certainly a feast for the eyes. Elevations of the property range from about 680 to 1050 FASL. A landscape of boiling springs, forested wetlands, small creeks and beaver ponds quickly rises up to wooded hills then sheer cliffs on the eastern slopes of Guilford Mountain and rocky outcrops at the summit of Buker Mountain. The springs running year-round out of the sides of Buker Mountain are the headwaters of nearby Big Bennet Pond (a 60 + acre trout pond just a couple of miles from the property), Salmon Stream Pond to the south and 6,800 acre Sebec Lake to the north. The sale of this property includes a deeded right of way for hand carry access to Sebec Lake. Countless other ponds and lakes dot the landscape of this part of Piscataquis County. Maine’s largest lake, Moosehead, is about a 35-minute drive from the land to the south shore in Greenville, Maine. This part of Maine is a transition of the northern boreal rainforest and the eastern deciduous forest creating perfect habitats for nearly all game animals found in the northeast. There are healthy populations of moose, whitetail deer, black bear, ruffed grouse and wild turkey. Eagles, beaver, bobcat, coyote and fox have all been seen here. The lakes and ponds are a magnet for migratory ducks and geese. The location, improvements and natural landscape of Seventh Ridge Preserve make it one of the best hunting properties in the northeast. LAND IMPROVEMENTS The owner of the Seventh Ridge Preserve has built miles of roads and trails to access all but the steepest areas of the property. This access allows for hunting almost any wind or weather. Most of the acres are in tree growth current use tax status and the owner will provide a copy of his detailed 10-year forest management plan written in 2020. The large game shooting area on the property includes approximately 71 acres of forest enclosed by over 8,000 feet of high fence. The sale of the land includes one of less than a dozen licenses for exotic game hunting in Maine. The license allows for red stag, elk, bison, fallow deer plus (with some additional notifications) wild hogs. This property fronts Sebec Shores Road and is within striking distance of grid electricity. The seller reports the local power company is planning to extend the line by the property. Should a new lodge be in your plans the road frontage here would be one place to build it. The clearing of several acres at this location will open up views to the west of Buker Mountain and beyond. A small hunter/trapper cabin is located in the center of the western third of the land adjacent to a small creek and beaver pond. With some clearing here, views of Guilford Mountain could be spectacular or leave it as is - hidden under the canopy of beautiful hardwood trees. The offering includes all the intellectual property and good will of Seventh Ridge Outfitters plus a storage container, tractor, side by side ATV and other tools and accessories that will convey with the sale.
