This 1,350± 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 1,350± acres of mixed timberland located in the town of LaGrange in central Penobscot County. A gently rolling parcel, it has nicely thinned hardwood knolls and dense areas of softwoods lining Hemlock Stream and its tributaries 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.
The water feature on the property is Hemlock Stream and smaller tributaries that all drain to the Penobscot River. Water frontage is approximately 7,000± feet on Hemlock, The riparian areas of this stream are habitat for moose, deer, bear, wading birds, and more. The stream is mostly easy 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 stream in the spring and summer, ATVing the nearby interconnected trail system, which in winter doubles as an ITS snowmobile trail. The 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.
