Get a jump start on building this spring on this ready-to-build, fully improved 4.23 acre lot with the driveway, power, septic, and well installed in 2020. The large, sunny, level building envelope sits high and dry while the back of the lot slopes down a 20' wide path to 290' of frontage on the meandering North Branch of the Royal River. Beautiful westerly views and spectacular sunsets. A large raised bed vegetable garden with a protective deer fence and a stone fire pit complete the package. Peaceful country setting just a stone's throw from Bradbury Mountain State Park yet only 7 minutes to LL Bean and downtown Freeport, 20 minutes to Brunswick, and 25 minutes to Portland.
