- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- SOLD | If you are looking for peace and quiet in a rural Maine town of about one hundred residents, you need to consider this spot. This lot is nearly six miles off grid on a gravel road that is not plowed in the winter, making this a great place to build your off-grid cabin.
A small brook flows through the center of the property and exits at the southeast corner of the land. The local beavers have created a nice pond that the moose tend to frequent so you will see lots of wildlife here.
The lot is mostly mixed wood growing, with white birch, red maple, cedar, spruce, fir and some white pine. Lakeville Maine has some rocky soils and this lot is no different. The Monarda-Burnham soils make up about 50% of the lot and Hermon and Canaan follow suite. Some of these soils have sandy loam but are very stony. The brook that flows through the property and the associated wet lands created by the beavers make up approximately 10+- to 15+- acres.
This location is surrounded by lakes. Within a mile, as the crow flies, is Lombard Lake to the north, Upper Pug Lake to the east and Upper Sysladobsis Lake to the south. The property is approximately 600 feet above sea level.
The topography in this region of Maine is very Mountainous. Within a short distance is Oak, Lombard, Almanac and Bear Mountains. If you like rugged hiking conditions, you can find that here.
About 10 minutes from the property is Springfield Maine which has a post office and gas station with small convenience store. The town of Lee Maine is about 20-25 minutes away and has a small diner and downhill ski area. Lincoln Maine is about 40 minutes to the south offering most shopping and services you would need, including a hospital. Bangor International airport is about 1 ½ hours to the south and Boston 5 hours south.

Born Loring Air Force Base, Limestone. Left when I was 6-7 years old. Love Maine. Miss the beauty and the trout streams. Will own land there in a few years.
Hi Michael. My college roommate is from Caribou. First time I ever went big ball bowling was at the base in limestone back in 1988. What State are you in now?
We hope to see you in a few Michael. Thanks for sharing.
Peter, wow! Just bumped into your video for no particular reason (I'm in Indiana) but thought I would compliment you on your delivery! Just a very thorough, relaxed, informative video. Great job!!!
Wow, thanks!
Tks for mentioning about the minerals.
You guys have some beautiful properties......
I moved away and wish I never did . I cant wait to go back . This one would have been nice
Yes I love the channel. I am 62 so Being a native, yet living in Michigan, I really like seeing the changing seasons. This is a great lot. Love the privacy, the forested acreage, and just how beautiful it is. Not many people really understand the majestic forested beauty that Maine offers. I do. Spent 9 years as forest technician with JW Seawall Co. Yeah, it was an adventure every day. Thanks for the channel. Maybe one day, God willing, I'll get one of these beauties. God bless.
Hi Carl. Being a forestry technician in Maine for 9 years, must have been an adventure. Did you cover all of Maine or just Penobscot County. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for sharing Carl. We hope you make it home someday.
Hi Phil, would you be able to come out and Camp solo on your own on the property before putting a cabin?
I have the same question...
Yes you can.
Well done!
Thanks for sharing.
very nice.
Thank you! Cheers!
This property is amazing but not quite what I’m looking for. The aesthetic’s are amazing but I want something that’s commercially viable. Looking for something in Dixmont, Troy, Jackson, or Thorndike! I’m looking to split 1 to 12 acres off of a substantially larger piece of land for no more than $3000 an acre. I’d be willing to pay the legal fees associated with splitting. How would I go about that?
mosquito and deer fly happy place next to that wetland in the summer
Thanks for watching.
well i guess if i owned it and found a huge gold nugget i surely didn't find it on that piece of land lol
👍
So the road goes through the lot, that means anyone can drive up the road at any time and park on the side of the road it they want to? If it's seasonal, can the buyer plow it themselves to make it year round? Can it be a house and a guest house according to zoning?
The road is a private right of way for those with the deeded right to it. The road could be plowed but it is nearly 6 miles from the public road. You can build a home and bunkhouse here with a permit from the State Planning office. This lot is currently under contract.
@@lifestyleproperties What does under contract mean? What is a bunkhouse? On that lot can a house, guest house, and barn be built? I assume, just for conversation, that you can have living quarters in a barn for your horse trainer. I've never been to Maine, what kind of plow would it take? A plow on a 4x4 truck, a plow on a Jeep Cherokee, a plow on a small riding lawn mower, a plow on a big tractor, or a commercial resort city snow plow? How many people can legally drive up into the center of that lot on that road (how many people have deeded access to that road? Seems like, just for conversation, that you'd make the 10 acres on the other side of the road be the bunk house and/or barn or just like empty space and you'd put a gate on a driveway to the remaining 41.5 acres. Maybe put all structures east of the road. Does that make sense to you?
I may be interested in this property,,, I’m from Georgia,,, I’ll have to see what the hunting regulations are and what out of state hunting license…Any size on a cabin or any power to run to? Already have cash,,,
No size restricion on the cabin. Here is a link to the hunting info for Maine www.maine.gov/ifw/hunting-trapping/licenses-permits/hunting-license.html
I wish your had a way to sort showing all properties still available for sale 1st
We mark them sold in the comments. One way to see newest first is to subscribe and turn on notifications. The best way to see all properties ASAP is to call or email us and ask for us to send email notifications of what you are looking for. Not all sellers will let us do video and some go under contract before the video is edited and loaded to UA-cam. Hope that helps.
Any sign of deer? I'm assume grouse are on the property. Am I allowed to use a travel trailer on the property as long as I dont leave it ?
I did see grouse and moose sign but didn't spend a lot of time looking for deer sign.
Yes to deer and grouse. You can camp on your land but can't have mobile home or campers as full time residences.
Are you allowed to build a tiny house with solar power and a garden on the land? Or are there regulations against tiny homes in Maine?
This land has been sold. Tiny homes are allowed unless the land has a restrictive covenant restricting them.
I have to share what with who that's on my property that I paid for with my own money?... but I have to Share What I find on my own property what the f. Good luck with that sale.... because...i was interested untill u mentioned that. Thanks for saving both of us time energy and effort Thank you 👍
The reality if the royalty interest was we have very few minerals in our lands in the area except for sand and gravel, which were not included in the reservation. The property just sold.
What does the Zoning: LUPC mean? What are the restrictions?
The zoning is handles by LUPC (Land Use Planning Commission). Email Pete and he will send you a copy of the deed covenants. Peter@lifestylepropertiesme.com
Can you please find out same kind of land in harrisburg pa please
Give us a call and we can try to hook you up with someone in PA, however, the price is not going to be in this range.
Whats the use of owning land if you can't do what you want with it JS!
You dont own it
@@pre1980cars who would want to own it, it's basically trash
Be careful what you wish for. If you moved to the woods for a rural setting and a beautiful enviroment and your neighbor opened a business next door that was crushing cars all day we bet you would welcome some restriction then. These covenants work in this location ensuring that all owners in this area can enjoy their property, not just one. All those who buy land here are informed of the restrictions on use and appreciate them.
There are areas with few limitations on land use in Maine with the exception of shoreland zoning which is a state mandated protection for our natural waters.
@@lifestyleproperties the point of buying something is to have full control over your property not to be dictated as to what you can do with your belongings! So just say that you're leasing the land instead of selling it because it's just like you're renting it if you have no rights as to what you can do with your land! It's all stolen land anyways!
Thanks for sharing your opinion. We can agree to disagree.
Nice piece of land Phil
The mineral rights clause is kind of odd
Seems like
35% is a sizable amount to give to the previous owners before the owner you'd have bought it from🤔
You see this a lot in other states, not as often in Maine. The difference here is that the previous owner does not have any right to come back to explore for minerals. Maine is not known for much in the way of mineral exploration. Most likely no one will ever mine this property.
@@lifestyleproperties
Right on Folks
I know I've looked at property in several states and most have some sort of mineral rights statement attached to them
No rights or a percentage of...
Have a great week
This property is still available
No it has sold.
what if i wanted to build a good sized house with a big basement under my house an a landing pad can I do that ?
Yes you can.
you throw in a pet sasquatch and we'll buy it :)
🤣
I feel like removing sold videos would be more beneficial to your users than keeping them up for those seeking entertainnent.
What are the taxes?
$60 per year
Are pop up or non pop up Trailer Campers allowed on the property to be lived in?
What kinds of local entry level jobs there are to be had? Gracias
I have a call into the lot association but I do not believe you could live in a camper. Entry level jobs can be found in Lincoln, about 45 minutes south.
Campers cannot be used as permanent residences here.
If I am looking to buy land in ME, can I finance the purchase of the land?
Hi Dan. Yes. We have lenders that will finance 100% of the appraised value. Thanks for watching.
Yes you can. Call Pete for details.
Is that offer still exists???
Sold
So if it is sold, why still show it?
Not closed yet.
Just started watching channel I am very interested in some property I am in windham
Call and let us know where you want to be.
iS THAT A DEEDED WET LAND OR JUST SOMETHING THAT WAS LET GO AND BEAVER TOOK IT OVER iF IT IS HOW MANY OUT OF THE 51+ IS CONSIDERED WET LAND
Darryl a soil expert would need to determine the exact extent of wetland soils. The link to the map here shows the NRCS soil mapping for the area. You can also use the area tool on the bottom right menu to estimate the open wetlands that are seen in the aerial photo. It appears to be from 9 to 11 acres along the small brook. mapright.com/ranching/maps/80278ae3b935d3528635fcc6a1e147bd/share
@@lifestyleproperties thanks I just looking for a nice lot like that to place a 2 bedroom signal i floor ICF home
Still available ?
It is under contract.
i went to school with phil,, do i get half off for being a former class mate ??? :).. or are you having a land give away contest and i'm the only entry :)
Probably not😆
Are you required to install a septic system?
No.
Yes if you intend to have pressurized water in the building.
@@lifestyleproperties Thank you. I didn't know that was the connection. So if you're just building a cabin with no pressurized water, there aren't any septic or other building code requirements? And no inspections?
i disagree with a few things,,, we own property here in florida, here in pasco county and up in marion county,,, i'll be damned if 1, someone is going to tell me what i can or can not build or put on MY property,, and i don't care how many indians had it before me,, no one is getting part of anything that we find,,, that's the 1 plus of buying land here in florida,,, we have the exclusive rights to it, we can't build a resort unless permitted or do logging without a permit, but all mineral rights are ours and the only building requirements is passing hurricane code,, some snobby places don't allow mobile homes , but our land up in ft mccoy, we are going to retire there, every tree is coming down , we're putting what ever house we want and whoever don't like it,, too bad, that's 1 of the first questions i asked when buying this land,, what are our land rights,, as long as the taxes are paid,, we rule
These reservations are already in the title to the property, it is a bit different than a new zoning law going into effect after purchase. Anyone buying this land knows up front what the reservations and restrictions are.
We would agree with what you are saying should the rules be changed after a purchase. That would be a government taking which would/should require a serious justification ( ie. some greater public good) plus compensation for any losses to the property owner.
@@lifestyleproperties i understand,, but i still don't agree, the indians may have owned it once,, but they don't once it's sold,, the buyer/owner has complete say,,, no one else, that's how i want my land to be recognized,, the government has us over a barrel with property taxes,, but as long as we pay them, we are the king and queen,
Florida swamp.
No it is Maine. No gators here!
I don't understand how this works... you buy the property but don't really own it in regards to mineral rights, so can the Indian nation at some point make a claim on the property for some other reason?
No that is not what Pete said in the video. You do own the minerals however should you decide to mine the property and discover gold you would need to pay the former owners a royalty interest.
Why so cheap?
It has sold.
Nice. But no water and electricity source. 39 acres is valueless. Only an idiot buy it for fishing opportunity.
Too many restrictions, let them keep it
Pretty minor common sense restrictions to ensure the remote beauty of this area. Like I said in the video. This lot isn’t for someone looking to start a commercial venture but for the one who appreciates remote nature and solitude.
Someone will appreciate the limitations. Thanks for watching.
Hey Phil, you have another Ed and Pam viewer couple, from Pennsylvania!
@@edmanley3681 Glad to have you watching.
I want to buy land up there. My wife is a fight tho
Maine native in Alabama here. Your channel far exceeds all other real estate sites !! Thank you
Thanks for watching Melissa. When are you moving back?
Thanks for sharing Melissa.
Why show sold properties w/o notice to viewers?
The property is marked SOLD in the description of the video.
What is the differences between a cabin and mobile home according the the local law? Does the cabin have minimal size limit? as one already asked, do you have to have a septic system for the cabin?
A cabin is stick built. A mobile home has a metal frame with axel and wheels. You don’t have to install a septic. An outhouse is permitted but would still require a soil scientist to design a plan $450
The difference is the construction type. A mobile home has a steel frame with axles etc.. No minimal size limit on a cabin. If you intend to have pressurized water inside the building you will need to have an approved septic system.
out of curiosity, does the "wetland" have any special protections ? like if you wanted to further dam and excavate to make a cleaner, bigger pond, could you do that legally ?
Probably not. It would require a lot of wetland modification which would most likely fall into Army Corp of Engineer permitting.
I am in the UK and love seeing places that I am unlikely to visit. It was interesting to hear about the covenants on the land too.
Thanks for sharing.
Cool property. Very diverse. NJ girl here. Spent most summer vacations in Camden & was at Unity College for a couple years. Once Maine gets into your system, you really miss the place. Stay awesome guys!
Thanks for watching Val. Maine is in my blood. No getting rid of it and no desire to. Peace.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
What type of poisonous snake do you have up there?
None
I'm interested in this property but cant find it online
Hi Cat, the property didn't go live until this morning on our website, the link is now in the description
Nicely presented. Big thumbs up! (And I'm in the BIGGEST little State of Rhode Island, though I did 2 years of high school in Maine.)
Nice property, great video! Any trout in the pond?
We don't know. There are trout in the nearby ponds, most likely some small ones in the little brook.
51 acres. How much is bog land?
A few acres. Th property sold more than a year ago.
How Close to the property can you get in winter when there is snow.
About 6 miles of unplowed road in the winter
@@lifestyleproperties How close is the nearest neighboring structure? How many neighbors on that road? Is it impossible to plow that much road yourself? How much does it snow there?
"3:16N64Stick"...What!?LOL
Thanks for the visit.
Is this part of the Passamaquoddy Trust Land?
No.
No
Well.. that clears the low price.. its just a off grid family camping site..
Thanks for watching.
Helpfull video
Glad you think so!
They couldn't give me that land in Maine
Where do you want to go Andy? Maybe we can refer you to one of our friends in another state.
@@lifestyleproperties And I gotta go somewhere where it's a lot warmer than it gets in Maine that's for sure
"A nice maple here" at 5:00.....sure looks like a shagbark hickory...but maybe a young black maple
Thanks for watching.
Can you build a homestead on this property … looking for full time build…
You could however it is under contract.
@@lifestyleproperties 😂 My luck
OMG! This one is a Keeper!! Luvv the Beaver Pond & that clear water feeder creek. Awesome price for such pristine land!! I think it's awesome to share your mineral equity with the local Indians, if that's your pursuit. Personally, I'd build my solar shack right across from the Beaver Pond & put a couple Adirondack chairs on the front porch & sit & watch Mother Nature paint me a tapestry of habitat wonders. Really luvv this one bcuz it's got a creek & a pond. It'll sell quick!! Thanx 4 Sharon! Skol!!
Great vision for the lot Justin. Thanks for watching.
We may need to hire you to write our descriptions. Thanks for sharing Justin.
