.This is a unique property. It includes 145 acres of land with 2000 ft. of waterfront on Douglas Pond which is part of the Sebasticook River. The private road leads to the Palmyra Recreational Trail and continues to the pond. All types of outdoor activities can be enjoyed here: fishing, hunting, ATVs, snowmobiles, hiking, farming, and swimming. There was a rustic campground here and two old cabins remain at the waterfront. Most of the land has been cut and wildlife abounds with deer, beaver, birds and bobcat. The home has good bones but needs extensive renovations. It all can be brought back to life with some care and hard work. What a playground it could be in Summer or Winter. Very peaceful and private. Palmyra and Pittsfield not far away.
