If you've been looking for a modern Maine property with privacy, acreage, and easy access to outdoor recreation without being far from town, this property at 110 Butterfield Ridge Road in Chester deserves a closer look. Set on approximately 10 wooded acres in a quiet rural location, this property offers a combination of comfort, convenience, and low-maintenance living that works equally well as a year-round residence or a vacation getaway. Located in the small town of Chester, Maine--population 549 according to the 2020 Census--the property sits on the west side of the Penobscot River in an area known for its forests, recreational opportunities, and relaxed pace of life. Despite the peaceful setting, you're only about 11.5 miles from the service town of Lincoln where you'll find shopping, restaurants, medical services, and other daily conveniences. Bangor is approximately 59 miles away, while Portland and Boston are within a reasonable driving distance for weekend travel or seasonal use. The land itself is one of the standout features of this property. The approximately 10-acre parcel is nicely wooded and accessed by a winding driveway that helps create a strong sense of privacy from the road. Trails throughout the property provide space for walking, exploring, or simply enjoying the outdoors right from your own land. The property also includes a drilled well and private septic system, adding to the self-contained rural setup many buyers are looking for in Maine. Outdoor recreation is a major draw in this region. The Penobscot River--less than a mile away--is widely considered one of Maine's premier rivers for boating, fishing, paddling, and wildlife viewing. Baxter State Park, home to Mount Katahdin and thousands of acres of wilderness recreation, is only about 40 miles away and reachable in just over an hour. Closer to home, North Chester Orchard offers seasonal pick-your-own apples, pumpkins, and Christmas trees, giving the area a classic small-town Maine f
