Deeded access to the Crooked River enhances the property’s appeal, offering renowned fly fishing, paddling, and additional recreational opportunities just moments away. In the absence of a formal road association, neighboring landowners share responsibility for road maintenance, and the road is generally maintained year-round. Property taxes are kept low as the land is enrolled in Maine’s Tree Growth Tax Program, benefiting long-term owners and those interested in forestry or conservation.
Despite its peaceful setting, the property is conveniently located within approximately 30 minutes of Bethel, Norway, Bridgton, Sunday River, Mt. Abram, and Pleasant Mountain, providing easy access to skiing, dining, shopping, and year-round recreation. North Conway is less than an hour away, offering tax-free shopping and additional outdoor amenities. Portland is approximately 1.5 hours away, and Boston can be reached in about three hours.
The surrounding area offers abundant public access to lakes, rivers, hiking trails, and conserved lands, making this an ideal base for outdoor enthusiasts. An additional 13-acre parcel is also available for those seeking extra acreage or expanded privacy.
