Are you searching for a cabin in the Maine woods with a mountain view? Does it need to be less than $100,000? This might be your new place! This small off grid cabin has 86 +/- acres with great views, solar power and direct access to both snowmobile and ATV trails. This is not a palace, just a small two room cabin that will get you out of the weather. No need to invest tens of thousands of dollars in a cabin and have the tax man crush you, spend your money on a new ATV or snowmobile to enjoy the trail system. There is a NICE outhouse. Put in a new septic if you want a flush toilet or maybe a composting unit? The cabin is hooked up to 800 watts of solar panels with inverter and batteries for power need. The cabin sets on 86 +/- acres of off grid land. It has been recently timber harvested and the harvest revealed a mountain view. NRCS mapping shows all of this area to be Plaisted-Howland-Penquis association soils. The slopes at this site would discourage intensive farming, however, this is great soil for growing trees and in the lesser slopes planting timothy, alfalfa, clover or corn for wildlife should do well here. Pull the stumps from this area and plant some quality food plot for the game animals in the area. Around the cabin are a few highly productive apple trees and a garden plot. The balance of the property is mixed wood forest land. The elevations of the site are from 600 to 750 feet with the cabin located near the height of land.

Are you searching for an affordable property to escape to the rural reaches of Maine, more deer than people, that sort of thing? Look no further than this tiny cabin on 86± acres of forested land in Brownville, Maine. The cabin is in need of repair and updating. It needs roof shingles, some paint and staining a better water supply, maybe an addition of a full septic system if you are intent on living here year-round—it currently has a composting toilet and outhouse. The 2-room building is less than 300 square feet. It has a battery bank hooked to about 800 watts of pole-mounted solar panels. This is a camp, not a home, and is off-grid. Don't tell me I didn't tell you. If you like hunting, ATVing, snowmobiling, hiking in some nice woods, that is what this property is all about. So, you know the camp needs some TLC, however, what the camp lacks in luxury, the land makes up for in beauty. Around the home there are a couple of nice apple trees. The forest around the cabin is mostly hardwood with a few pines scattered around. The land has not been harvested commercially for many years. You could cut all the firewood you will ever need here. The deeper into the woods you go, the better the deer and moose signs. This is mostly high ground from 600 to about 750 feet above sea level. The hardwood ridge transitions into more softwood as you descend to the lower elevations. Currently, additional land is available from an abutting land owner. There is potential for over 120± acres should you act soon enough. Brownville and the area around this property are recreationally rich. The property borders a maintained ATV trail. You can be at Wildwoods Restaurant in a few minutes on your wheeler. Schoodic Lake boat landing is just a few miles down the road. Joe Mary and Katahdin Ironworks Wilderness areas are nearby. The Appalachian Trail, Gulf Hagas, and Baxter State Park are all within an easy drive. Call today, this property won't last at this price.
