About this home

274.4 acres on Maine's Pemaquid Peninsula, offering a substantial landholding with a historic farmhouse, diverse forest habitat, and several potential ownership strategies. The property features a broad mix of native hardwoods and softwoods in varying age classes, along with wetlands and upland timber. Part of a larger wildlife corridor, the land provides varied habitat, with abundant deer and turkey sign observed throughout. A prominent woods road leads into the acreage, while smaller skidder trails provide additional access. The combination of forest diversity, wetlands, and established access makes this an appealing property for hunting, recreation, wildlife management, and long-term land stewardship. For buyers interested in a recreational property or private hunting retreat, the acreage offers room to explore habitat improvements, trail maintenance, and potential lodge or camp use, subject to applicable approvals. The 1797 Colonial farmhouse contains approximately 3,368 square feet of living space, five bedrooms, and two bathrooms. The house retains historic features and appears to have a substantial underlying structure, but it has experienced deferred maintenance and requires significant restoration. Attached and detached barns add to the property's agricultural history, although both require attention. A recent survey depicts a potential 3.7-acre parcel surrounding the farmhouse. The entire 274.4 acres are being offered together, and the property remains a single parcel for municipal and tax purposes. A future owner could investigate separating the farmhouse from the remaining acreage, subject to applicable approvals, access requirements, and recording. Additional possibilities include conservation ownership, a recreational landholding, or exploration of residential development. Buyers should independently verify feasibility and permitted uses.
