Off-grid rustic camp situated in rural Maine. If you're looking for that get-a-way property located within a rural setting away from everything then this might just be it. This property has been used primarily as a rural retreat and hunting camp by its current owner. The building is off grid and powered by a portable generator (comes with the property) and circuit breakers, utilities include a private drilled well with a new submersible pump and an outhouse. Currently this property has a single sleeping area with bunks but could quite easily be turned in to a 2-bedroom 1-bathroom due to its 897 sq ft size. Improvements include 2 decked areas, new metal roofing (2021), storage sheds and a woodshed. Although up on a hill on a private road you are not completely away from everything, this location is centrally located within 40 minutes' drive of Bangor, Waterville and Belfast with local stores much much closer.
