Lot 2-18 Shin Pond Rd, Mt Chase, ME 04765

Offered for the first time in generations, this remarkable ±484-acre contiguous tract of timberland spans both Mount Chase (±435 acres) and Patten (±49 acres) and has remained in the same family for approximately 70 years. Last commercially harvested about eight years ago, the property offers strong long-term timber income potential while also delivering exceptional recreational and residential appeal in the heart of the Katahdin region. The land features approximately 60 feet of owned frontage on Shin Pond Road along with an extensive network of private interior logging roads totaling roughly 8,400 feet, providing excellent access throughout the property. Elevations rise gradually from approximately 840 feet above sea level at the road to nearly 1,000 feet toward the rear of the parcel, where the terrain drops away and opens the possibility for panoramic views of Mount Katahdin. The soils are predominantly productive silty loams, largely classified as Farm Class 2 soils, supporting strong tree growth across much of the acreage. Approximately half of the property benefits from a favorable southwestern exposure. While exploring the property, evidence of its earlier agricultural history could still be found deep in the woods, including large piles of fieldstone gathered generations ago while clearing old farm fields. Wildlife sign is abundant throughout the land, with recent observations including moose activity, deer sign, and snowshoe hare. In addition to its forestry value, the property offers direct access to maintained ATV and snowmobile trail systems and is located near Baxter State Park, Katahdin Woods & Waters National Monument, Grand Lake Matagamon, the East Branch of the Penobscot River, and the Seboeis River. Whether you are seeking a long-term timber investment, a private recreational retreat, or a legacy property to hold for future generations, this is a rare opportunity to own nearly 500 contiguous acres in Maine's most sought-after re
