If you've been searching for an affordable piece of Maine land where you can escape the noise of town without being completely isolated, this 2.25± acre surveyed lot on Pickerel Pond Road in Greenfield deserves a closer look. Tucked away in a quiet off-grid location, this heavily wooded parcel offers privacy and an excellent opportunity to create a simple cabin retreat or recreational basecamp. The property includes approximately 180± feet of road frontage on Pickerel Pond Road and features gently rolling terrain with elevations ranging from about 215 to 245 feet above sea level. The land is forested with mature woods, providing both seclusion and building material potential for those who enjoy a hands-on approach to cabin construction. According to NRCS soil mapping, the property contains Howland and a small amount of Thorndike soils. These soils tend to be somewhat stony, but once cleared and rocks are picked they can support gardening or small homestead projects. While the setting feels remote and quiet, the property is surprisingly convenient to services and employment centers. The town of Old Town is located just about 10± miles away, offering grocery stores, restaurants, and everyday necessities. Larger city amenities--including hospitals, major shopping, and the airport--are available roughly 21± miles away in Bangor. For those traveling from further away, the lot is about 2½ hours from Portland and just over four hours from Boston. Outdoor recreation opportunities are abundant in this region. The nearby Sunkhaze Meadows National Wildlife Refuge protects thousands of acres of wetlands and forests and is well known for wildlife viewing, birding, and quiet paddling. The legendary Penobscot River is also close by, offering fishing, paddling, and scenic exploration. Additionally, the vast network of timberlands accessible from the Studmill Road opens the door to millions of acres of North Woods terrain filled with lakes, ponds, & streams
