Embrace the ultimate freedom of mountain living on this stunning 7.8-acre parcel of land, perfectly situated in one of Maine's most desirable and recreation-rich regions. If you have been searching for the ideal blank canvas to build your dream home, a lucrative vacation rental, or a private four-season retreat, this mostly level lot offers endless possibilities with absolutely no restrictive covenants, homeowner association fees, or limiting bylaws to hold your imagination back. Location is everything, and this property places you right in the heart of a premier outdoor playground. Winter enthusiasts will love the exceptionally close proximity to two world-class ski destinations, sitting just minutes away from the legendary slopes and vibrant village life at Sunday River Resort, as well as the classic, family-friendly terrain of Mt. Abram Ski Area. Beyond the ski season, this region transforms into a vibrant hub for year-round adventure, offering immediate access to pristine hiking trails, mountain biking networks, championship golf courses, and sparkling local rivers and lakes for kayaking and fishing. What truly sets this parcel apart is the significant head start it offers for your future building plans. Because a home previously occupied the site, much of the initial groundwork and high-cost infrastructure is already in place. The current owners have thoughtfully improved the driveway, establishing a solid and accessible entrance to the property. Reliability is already solved with electricity available directly on-site, and the land benefits from a previous septic system, saving you valuable time, permitting stress, and thousands of dollars in site preparation costs. As you step onto the property, you are immediately greeted by beautiful mountain views and a level topography that makes clearing, designing, and constructing your ideal layout a breeze.

This stunning, hill-side parcel is enveloped by forest in the heart of ski-country. Located only 10 minutes from Bethel Village and a short drive to both Sunday River Ski Resort and Mt Abram, this is an ideal build site. The land was a former homestead but the original home has been removed and the driveway has been improved. There is a septic system and electricity on site which makes the process of building much easier than starting from scratch. An added bonus is that this parcel is not subject to any restrictive covenants or bylaws. Multi-use zoning allows for both commercial and residential use with town approval. Possibilities here are endless! Enjoy mountain views, a level build site, and a location that puts you at recreation's fingertips.
