This surveyed 6.23 acre parcel forms a broad wooded tract along a paved public road, with convenient connections to Cumberland, Portland, and Interstate 95. Mixed woodland, wetland vegetation, and river corridor habitat create a natural setting whose identity is rooted in the land itself. * * * * This property should not be presumed buildable. A 2025 environmental field review estimates more than 95 percent of the site is wetland, including Wetlands of Special Significance, and identifies one approximate 40 by 50 foot upland island. That review states construction and septic installation on the upland area would be very difficult. It is not an official wetland map or formal delineation. Town code review likewise indicates the parcel appears fully covered by wetlands and that a formal delineation is needed to determine whether any buildable location exists without state and federal wetland fill permits. * * * * An earlier 2021 preliminary soil evaluation identified an area near the southern road frontage that met minimum state soil standards for a possible septic system, but no septic design was completed, and that evaluation preceded the 2025 wetland field review. The parcel is zoned VCC, which does not currently allow new residential uses. It is also subject to a shoreland zoning overlay and is partly mapped in FEMA Flood Zone A. No driveway, parking, electricity, gas, water, or sewer is installed. The existing survey, environmental review, soil evaluation, flood mapping, and related property records are available. Any use or development is subject to independent verification and all municipal, state, and federal approvals, which may include Maine DEP and United States Army Corps of Engineers review. No representation is made that the parcel is buildable.
Cumberland, located between Falmouth and North Yarmouth, is a residential and rural Cumberland Center neighborhood with a village green and wooded backroads. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Cumberland Center crossroads near Greely High School, where a small-town cluster of local shops and everyday errands meets school-day energy. The Cumberland Farmers’ Market and Cumberland Town Hall anchor the civic rhythm, while Val Halla Golf & Recreation keeps recreation close to home. Architecture leans toward classic New England capes and colonials, with newer builds tucked along winding lanes. Open fields and trail corridors shape a quiet, outdoors-forward routine.
