Escape to the Maine woods with this well-equipped off-grid cabin retreat set on 46.2± surveyed acres in the quiet town of Springfield. Located just 2.6 miles from Route 6 on a private gravel road, this property offers exceptional privacy while remaining within easy reach of modern conveniences. Lincoln is only 20 miles away for shopping, dining, and services, while Bangor is approximately 71 miles and Portland about three hours by car. The fully furnished cabin features three bedrooms, one bath, a welcoming sunporch, and a loft sleeping area, providing comfortable accommodations for family and friends. Front and rear pressure-treated decks offer the perfect places to relax, enjoy wildlife sightings, or take in the peaceful forest surroundings. The property is serviced by a drilled well and septic system and is powered by a 5-kilowatt LP gas generator supplemented by solar photovoltaic panels, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of off-grid living without sacrificing comfort. A major feature of the property is the detached two-plus-car garage with second-floor storage that may offer potential for additional living space, workshop use, or recreational storage. The garage houses the generator and includes a large diamond-plated workbench. An attached carport provides additional covered space for boats, ATVs, snowmobiles, trailers, or other equipment. Additional improvements include a wood shed, two storage buildings, and an outhouse. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the property's direct access to locally maintained ATV and snowmobile trail systems. Numerous recreational opportunities are nearby, including the Bottle Lake and Sysladobsis Lake boat landings in Lakeville, approximately 12 miles away. The renowned Down East Lakes region and extensive conservation lands totaling hundreds of thousands of acres are also nearby, offering exceptional opportunities for hunting, fishing, hiking, paddling, wildlife observation, and exploring Maine's North Woods.
