Welcome to 153 Colegrove Road in New Portland, Maine — a true off-grid retreat nestled in the heart of one of the state's most scenic and adventure-filled regions. If you've been searching for a private escape with trail access, beautiful woods, and a cozy cabin to call your own, this might be the perfect fit. Set on approximately 26 acres, this property offers privacy, peace, and direct access to the snowmobile trail making it an ideal basecamp for year-round recreation. LOCATION New Portland is a quiet town of under 800 people, best known for its historic wire bridge — a rare surviving cable suspension bridge believed to be the last of its kind in the United States. While you'll feel tucked away in the woods here, you're still conveniently located. Kingfield, with local shopping, dining, and services, is just eight miles away. Farmington, home to the University of Maine at Farmington and the nearest hospital, is only sixteen miles from the property. The county seat of Skowhegan is twenty-eight miles away, and you can reach the state capital of Augusta in about an hour. Even Portland is under two hours, and Boston is just over three and a half hours from this peaceful cabin. LAND The 26 acres of land rises gently in elevation from 560 to 640 feet above sea level and is a beautiful mix of sandy and stony loam soils, hardwood and softwood trees, and natural features including two small creeks and interior trails for walking, riding, or exploring. A gated driveway ensures your privacy, and the surrounding woods give you the feel of true Maine wilderness while still offering access to modern amenities not far away. MAINE CABIN The cabin itself is a 24 by 24 wood-framed structure with a 6-foot by 24-foot screened-in porch, perfect for morning coffee or winding down in the evening. Inside, you'll find a simple but functional layout with an open kitchen, dining, and living area, one bedroom on the main floor, and a loft sleeping area above.
