Escape to the mountains of Western Maine with this 2± acre building lot in the peaceful town of Sumner. Offering the privacy and simplicity of an off-grid setting while still enjoying frontage on a public paved road, this property is a great opportunity for a seasonal getaway, hunting camp, recreational retreat, or future homesite. Much of the groundwork has already been started. The property features a gravel parking area and drilled well, and was previously improved with a mobile home that has since been removed. A private septic system remains on the property; its current condition is unknown, but the original septic design is available for review. Beautiful old stone walls add character to the property and complement its classic rural Maine setting. Outdoor enthusiasts will especially appreciate the location, with Worthley Pond in nearby Peru offering swimming, boating, fishing, and other four-season recreation. Vast surrounding timberlands and the rolling mountains of the area provide excellent opportunities for hunting, exploring, hiking, ATV and snowmobile adventures, with the region particularly well known for whitetail deer and bear hunting. Whether you're looking to build a simple camp in the Maine woods, establish an off-grid retreat, or create your own recreational basecamp, this affordable parcel provides a great head start in a beautiful part of Western Maine.
