0 Bradford Camps, Munsungan Lake , Ashland, ME 04732(Aroostook County)

Legendary Bradford Camps, located on Munsungan Lake in the North Maine Woods, stands out as one of the oldest and best-established sporting camps of Maine.   With roots tracing back to the 1890s, Bradford Camps has been operated by only five long-term owners, a testament to its successful operation and stability.   After 29 years of ownership this remarkable property is on the market. The Bradford Camps property boasts 1400 feet of pristine lakefront, while Norway Brook adds to the allure with an additional 1500 waterfront feet.  A charming streamside trail winds along its mossy banks to a series of waterfalls.  The three docks along the lake waterfront provide ample space for boats and floatplanes. This remote property embodies rich sporting traditions and features eight waterfront hand-hewn log guest cabins, each equipped with a full bath.  The historic lodge features a field stone fireplace and library, a commercial-grade kitchen, and art-filled dining room.  Here guests are treated to hearty meals, often made from fresh vegetables harvested from the on-site garden. Fishing enthusiasts will find some of Maine's finest waters here, with opportunities to catch native salmon, wild lake trout, as well as wild brook trout in nearby ponds and streams. Trophies over four pounds are not uncommon. Additionally, the business offers two outpost cabins situated on remote Big Reed Pond, a northern Maine jewel.  The largest old growth forest in New England, the Reed Pond Preserve is a unique travel destination.  The pond boasts wild trophy brook trout and blueback trout, a rare relic species of the arctic found in only fourteen ponds in the lower 48. The business is supported by dedicated professional guides specializing in fly fishing and trolling, big game and bird hunting, and assisting families seeking a memorable vacation experience. The cabins can accommodate a combined total of 24 guests, with additional staff cabins and necessary outbuildings for complete operation. Encompassing 18 leased acres, the property benefits from a stable lease contract with one of the largest landowners in Maine. The North Maine Woods covers 3.5 million acres, making it one of the largest intact forests in the eastern United States, and Bradford Camps is centered in the region.  Adding to its value, Bradford Camps lies within a conservation easement which guarantees no development for most of the shoreline of Munsungan Lake.
