Discover a rare opportunity to own a large waterfront parcel in the heart of northern Maine's wilderness at 773 Wrightville Road in Ashland, Maine. This 86± acre wooded property with approximately 1,400 feet of frontage on the Aroostook River offers privacy and versatility that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Whether your vision is a remote cabin retreat, a self-sufficient homestead, a lodge or guide service, a commercial campground, or even a year-round residence, this land provides the setting and scale to bring any of those plans to life. LOCATION Located in the Town of Ashland (population approx. 1,202, incorporated in 1862), the property sits just south of where the Aroostook River emerges from vast, undeveloped forestland. Despite its secluded feel, the location offers reasonable access to services and amenities. Presque Isle, the largest city in Aroostook County, is approximately 28 miles away and provides a full-service hospital, commercial airport, shopping mall, restaurants, and a University of Maine campus. Fort Kent is about 50 miles away, offering another UMaine campus and a border crossing into New Brunswick, Canada. Bangor is roughly 143 miles (about 2.5 hours), while Quebec City is approximately 239 miles away. LAND This parcel is gently rolling and sloping with elevations ranging from approximately 500 to 600 feet above sea level. NRCS reports the soils in this area to be a mix of Stetson gravelly loams along the river and Manarda-Burnham soils in the forested areas. The riverbank is high and offers protection from flood waters. Electric power is available along Wrightville Road, the property contains a sand and gravel quarry of about 1 ½ acres providing additional value for your future development needs. Cell phone service is available here, adding practicality to its remote appeal.
