All proceeds from the sale of this property will be donated to local children's camp charities, helping kids experience the outdoors. Spanning both sides of Portage Lake, this property features two camps and breathtaking natural surroundings. The first camp is accessible by boat and sits amid 150+ acres of old-growth forest, offering unmatched privacy. Towering old growth hardwood and softwood trees provide a peaceful canopy, while the lakefront (over 1800' of shoreline) offers incredible opportunities for fishing, kayaking, and swimming. Wildlife of every kind found in Northern Maine is abundant, a true outdoor paradise. The second camp, accessible by road, is more traditional and includes a new septic system. Although it requires foundation repairs and upgrades, this camp is an excellent base for year-round recreation, such as snowmobiling, ATV riding, etc. The land features diverse terrain, with towering trees and small open clearings perfect for exploration, remote camping or hunting. The property offers opportunities for sustainable timber management or simply enjoying its untouched beauty. This property is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, with direct lake access, abundant wildlife, and trails for endless adventures. The potential for this unique, expansive and pristine property is limited only by your imagination.

This is a unique property with boundless potential. The 1.9 acre lot at 469 E Cottage Lake Road has a small cabin, shed and aluminum dock providing very user friendly access to the waters of Portage Lake with ample room for parking. Directly across the lake sits another seasonal cabin with a designed septic system and well point for water. This cabin also has a deck, a dock and shed. This is all surrounded by 150 acres of pristine mature old growth virgin timber. The land consist of Oak ridges blending into mixed growth and softwood at the base of the ridges. This is truly a rarity to have such a large parcel that has remained virtually untouched by the modern world. With 1600'+/- of developable shorefront and 150 acres+/- of virgin timber this is an investment opportunity of a life time. If developing is of no interest to you this could be an outdoorsman's own private kingdom to enjoy all of the hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, ATVing and all the other recreational land and water activities that present themselves in the Portage Lake Region. If Portage Lake doesn't have it, 10 miles to Ashland, ME , 35 miles from all the amenities offered in the city of Presque Isle, ME and 50 miles to Mars Hill's Big Rock Ski Resort. Guaranteed to offer entertainment year round. An awesome opportunity for the passionate outdoorsperson's private grounds. Maybe a joint venture with a couple of avid outdoors friends. A property like this does not often come available or even exist anymore. The previous owner and his many friends made priceless memories over his 30+ years of ownership and now wish to pass the opportunity to experience the adventures to the next stewards of the land. Call, text or email to set up a showing before this one is gone!
