Coming from a builder’s view, this house does have some issues. Correct me if I’m wrong, but it looks to have a pier foundation, which would lead to a nightmare trying to insulate the floor. Or trying to keep the critters out of it. Also, from the back door area construction the kit logs look to be laying on the subfloor which leads to problems trying to keep water away from the logs. The joists there also appear to be rather close to the ground. Perhaps even notched for the gutter drain pipe to fit under. Speaking of notches… I can’t believe whoever built the place notched the perlins above the trusses. Big no no. I’ll stop here as I’m not trying to dump on your listing as it does seem to be in a quiet, pretty area, until someone runs power up the hill anyway.
@@cowpunkability Thank you and growing up on a Maine farm was great training for my three older brothers and me. Unfortunately, Maine has no licensing for building inspectors and there need to be standards, a test, study and training to tighten it up!
I don't know why some are saying it's so cheap . It's priced right for remoteness of the area . If it's raining and muddy you are huffing it up that road with your groceries in the muddy months or when that snow begins to thaw . You will have to leave your truck at the bottom walk up and ride your ATV down to the bottom . For someone that just wants a vacation cabin it's great but if you're thinking of a full time place know what you're buying .
39 acres of mixed woods growing in value each year that you can selectively cut for profit. Building a log home like this one and adding the drilled well, concrete septic makes this one a good deal. You are on a mountain top with your wood stove and tapping into that big Maine lake in your lap. Lots of homesteaders buy places like this and love the lifestyle.

I was born in Limestone Maine at Loring AFB. I am more accustomed to the climate I was raised in here in Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. I am a Coast Guard Veteran.

Nice place if you're looking to live or camp in the wilderness. Another great Video Andy. Course you've had enough practice, haven't you? Always a pleasure watching your videos. Thanks again!
Ok, we might be interested in this as cash buyers. A few questions: 1. Has the log cabin been treated for termites, wood borers, and any infestations? 2. We’re not that concerned with the off grid, but what is the estimated cost for each of the water and for the power to be run to the house? 3. What are the expected residual costs for the property, ie taxes, utilities once hooked up, etc? Do you have any other information that you can share with us on this? What is the hunting possibilities for that area?
We don't have termites... winter cold helps purify. Houlton Water Company is the grid and cost for aid to construction would be up to your consumption and if year round use or just a few times season.

Great looking camp! My wife and I have met with Mr. Moores and he is a honest and respectful real estate agent. I would highly recommend seeking his advice and expertise if you are considering buying any property in northern Maine.
“You paid good money for this. You got 40 acres up here, lots of woods, nice, warm place. Seems to me just the spot for a man to rest up, think on things. If you look around, it's kinda beautiful.”
You can't bush hog boulders Andy. The roof is shingled but the shingles are shot. Mice love the cabin. Came in through the supply line holes. And there's more than a generator needed ie a pump waterline to the cabin from the well, supply lines though the holes in the floor under the sinks etc. Great cabin, wonderful view, lovely seclusion. Mosquitoes as voracious as gulf coast alligators . Better than 60 grand to run electrity in. 6-7 thousand for the poles and line, the rest for cutting the trees and brush. More good than bad. .
Impressive property for sure. Question on the roads leading up to the cabin: are they paved? In your narration, you mentioned that you were driving a Jeep and that it seemed to be a fitting vehicle for this type of terrain/area. Underneath the snow, will I find asphalt, gravel, dirt? I'm asking because friends of mine own travel trailers and Winnebago type vehicles and they would have an open invitation to visit. Thank you for this tremendously entertaining video. You provided a nice escape for me on an otherwise mundane day.

It just occurred to me that todays “off grid” is what everyone did when they went to the camp with the family for the weekend when i was a kid. Pretty sure it hasnt changed much in that area as far as utilities go. It was normal, still is, and there was nothing hip, complicated or climate conscious about it 😂
Yup. Growing up in central NY, we had our family home wherein my 6 older siblings and I had every connivence one could want in the 60-80s, yet less than 20 miles away, we had our “lake camp”, a 2-3 season structure which was the recipient of continuous, year-round upgrades and enhancements, taking it from an early 1920’s farming homestead to what was ultimately a 4 season lakefront home on 12acres w/ lakefront dock and covered boathouse, 2car garage, 2 baths w/ county electric/gas/water and sewer connectivity…. No doubt it helped that our dad was a GC and had subs that were always able to fit in a few side jobs on the “camp”
Views, water access, privacy. Ok it needs work, but at this price, it’s well worth it. My son is looking for something like this and it’s within his price range.
Ya some states are more affordable than other states. I was hearing all the remote workers moved into Boise, Idaho or rexburg caused prices to go way up, but now a few years later prices are going to come back down to meet the local wages. Land in rural areas definitely is less likely to yoyo going up and down with migration.
Drilled well, line to log cabin and you have to ask Santa for the generator unless you go solar, wind. You see wind generators over in the Oakfield foothills so tap the breeze. Town office says $768! More on Linneus www.mooersrealty.com/linneus
I really like this cabin. It looks very well built. The price is right. Just out of curiosity, how much do you think it would cost to have power service extended to the property? A mile isnt really that far away really.
Houlton Water Company is one of the state's cheapest priced power utility. The line comes up the Mountain RD to the Snyder place I point out driving in with the jeep. After the first 300 feet which is free, you are looking at around $12 a foot. Log cabin set back from road too about 300' in for privacy.
@@AndrewMooersmainerealestate l did the calculation. Roughly about 63 to 64 grand. Which isn't really all that bad considering the amount of work involved with that. Of course there are tons of off grid options as well. It's just something to consider. I wish l could afford a vacation property in Maine. I would be up there looking at it now. Definitely someday though.
In Wa state this place would fetch $3-400.000 just on timber alone??! The exceptional "cabin" with complete amenities and MORE is incredible!!? Easily $600,000 in my state!!!
Maine, the prices are divide by three and four compared to most other places. Affordable properties, low crime, less traffic are big reasons people think "what about Maine?"
Convenience store with gas a few miles away. In Houlton, 9 miles away you have Walmart, Tractor Supply and major grocery stores, outlets.. more on Houlton Maine www.mooersrealty.com/houlton 😁
It would cost you around 75 grand to run power to that place, I personally would go with DIY Solar Total cost be around $10,000.00 maybe 15,000.00 at the most and get a deisel generator for back up power also, you can buy them used off those Gov. surplus sites cheap. I honestly think a person would have to be crazy to want to hook this off grid cabin up to the grid.
Reducing your need for power is something our energy hungry country needs to do. Hang clothes out on a line to dry not doing laundry with only one pair of jeans for Suzie's big dance tonight takes an easy does it approach to energy consumption!
@ No loans needed . I’m north of $160k in savings, my mortgage is paid off completely 20 years ago. Today my credit score is 832. But isn’t that for someone looking to borrow money for decades ? I just decided I don’t believe I need a credit score anymore. I’m retired with a decent income. I’m not going to borrow money from any bankers any more. I lived in this country when it was uncrowded and inexpensive. So today’s prices tend to bother me a little. I have always went after what I wanted and paid the price for it. No matter what. But lately I have gotten tired of giving my little bit of money away. (!!). It’s easy to see that the whole planet is competing for our dollars, each and every one of us. All they want is your money and my money. Sorry, I shouldn’t have commented. The internet is so judgemental by folks who don’t actually know the whole picture. Merry Christmas and God Bless !
I live like this Nor cal its a good worthy life not for the meek.... great price lot of land and big house !Cant even touch this for under a mil in the porrest nor cal county!
Land, more land and lots of wildlife when you are in Northern Maine, Aroostook County that is the size of CT and RI with only 11 people per square mile. NJ has 1000 people per square mile. 😀
You can make a piece, wait five years, make a piece or have a subdivision done. Originally these 40 acre Patten lots were to be one residence, not to be split smaller.
It would be a shame for someone to cut up this dirt to make more lots!! People go there for privacy and to live in a peaceful, natural setting, not to clog up the place!! All too make money 🤦♀️
Beautiful place! Sending your info to a friend looking to move there sometime in next year or two. She retires this spring and both her kids, grandkids, and nephew live there. I think more mid-state, tho?
Thank you for the helping hand and here to answer her questions, to connect the dots. The site shows everything for sale around the state www.mooersrealty.com
So as a one time owner of a dream cottage on a lake I have a few pieces of advice. These are not negotiable for your piece of mind. 1: Certificate of location because "sorta" "kinda" is not good enough for property lines. 2: Gov't: This includes zoning, taxes and tax breaks such as "homestead reductions" and "age of buyer" if applicable. Know services and what's possible, expensive and available. Finally are there any restrictions? Collecting your own rainwater seems arbitrary but some areas forbid it. Go figure. 3: Well water testing or whatever your source. Septic tank condition and cost to empty if accessible off grid . 4: Electric and heating and cooling. Is the wiring 220 for ovens and dryers? Is it up to code and inspected? What RV insulation is there including Doors and Windows? A cute fireplace won't cut it for winter heat so now you need to think furnace and heat pump and may as well go central air at the same time. There are gov't programs for these so discuss with a HVAC expert. All these are basics I did not know when I bought in my early 20s with no advice. You might even decide to go new construction using your land if that is an option. Finally if it sounds to cheap to be true.... it is. Be aware when you buy and you will have a peaceful place to enjoy instead of years of fixing and renovation over shoddy work. Good luck.
Wished trailer hitches were on all these properties and you could haul them out of state. But you would not be in Maine with all the other perks many states lack!

Ya some states are more affordable than other states. I was hearing all the remote workers moved into Boise, Idaho or rexburg caused prices to go way up, but now a few years later prices are going to come back down to meet the local wages.
Land in rural areas definitely is less likely to yoyo going up and down with migration.
finely crafted? looks like the guy didnt ever finish a single thing he started
That cabin has a lot of structural issues
I wish I had the money. The only words that can come out of my mouth is beautiful wow

I bet that wind blows cooooold up there
Have place on Drew's Lake and four season fun for outdoor recreation. 🏔
We are outdoors year round.
Andy what are the real estate taxes and how is the water pump up to the cabin and is a generator included in with the property ? Thanks
Drilled well, line to log cabin and you have to ask Santa for the generator unless you go solar, wind. You see wind generators over in the Oakfield foothills so tap the breeze. Town office says $768! More on Linneus www.mooersrealty.com/linneus
Would be GREAT if you put sold on these when they sell instead of wasting my time looking it up. thanks!
This is perfect! Are people already driving on the lake? I wouldn't think it would be thick enough yet.
Smart ones are not... today is 38 degrees and raining... less ice than when drone video shot Saturday mid day.
Right! I was thinking that would be a little sketchy right now.@@AndrewMooersmainerealestate
@@leejohnson7293 There are times ice can make the hills a carnival ride.
For SURE! I've been on a few! Lol@@AndrewMooersmainerealestate
I really like this cabin. It looks very well built. The price is right. Just out of curiosity, how much do you think it would cost to have power service extended to the property? A mile isnt really that far away really.
Houlton Water Company is one of the state's cheapest priced power utility. The line comes up the Mountain RD to the Snyder place I point out driving in with the jeep. After the first 300 feet which is free, you are looking at around $12 a foot. Log cabin set back from road too about 300' in for privacy.
@@AndrewMooersmainerealestate thank you for the info ,Me and the wife are looking to move to Northern Maine this Spring ,Will Definitely Call You !
@@johnmass60 More details www.mainelistings.com/listings/ME/Linneus/04730/Lot-14-Mountain-Road/1578993
@@AndrewMooersmainerealestate l did the calculation. Roughly about 63 to 64 grand. Which isn't really all that bad considering the amount of work involved with that. Of course there are tons of off grid options as well. It's just something to consider. I wish l could afford a vacation property in Maine. I would be up there looking at it now. Definitely someday though.
@@jraoul711 Contact HWV and if they say $11 a foot, times 5,000 feet would provide a ball park.
In Wa state this place would fetch $3-400.000 just on timber alone??! The exceptional "cabin" with complete amenities and MORE is incredible!!? Easily $600,000 in my state!!!
Maine, the prices are divide by three and four compared to most other places. Affordable properties, low crime, less traffic are big reasons people think "what about Maine?"
Would like to know how close are the stores such supermarkets and hardware stores
Convenience store with gas a few miles away. In Houlton, 9 miles away you have Walmart, Tractor Supply and major grocery stores, outlets.. more on Houlton Maine www.mooersrealty.com/houlton 😁
I guess it woulda been said if there was some water on the property?
Drilled well.
This is the dream !
Maine is one sweet place to vacation and to call home! www.meinmaine.com
i see where the property ID says closed does that mean its sold ?
Yes but learn about more by become a channel subscriber please! Thank you Greg! www.youtube.com/@AndrewMooersmainerealestate?sub_confirmation=1
This would be a dream come true for me. Off grid. Homesteading.
Grow something here... I can help guide you and own a farm...
I like this one! A lot of opportunity
For the right person ready willing and able!
Question: can you shoot in your property? Like a small range and can you hunt in your property like the one on this video?
That’s a lot of water in the falls. Must be a large spring.
We are getting rain, not snow in mid December weather.
Wonder if the Maine Cabin Masters would be able to complete this project?
Nice spot. This guy reminds me of Massad Ayoob
Sorry, don't teach firearm safety or have an ankle holster.
Nice maybe for hunting but are there any jobs in Maine?
Yes! Here are job options mooersrealty.com/jobs-employment-work-in-houlton-maine-04730/
Thats AWESOME
Maine is an incredible place!
It would cost you around 75 grand to run power to that place, I personally would go with DIY Solar Total cost be around $10,000.00 maybe 15,000.00 at the most and get a deisel generator for back up power also, you can buy them used off those Gov. surplus sites cheap. I honestly think a person would have to be crazy to want to hook this off grid cabin up to the grid.
Reducing your need for power is something our energy hungry country needs to do. Hang clothes out on a line to dry not doing laundry with only one pair of jeans for Suzie's big dance tonight takes an easy does it approach to energy consumption!
Why is there an out-house if it has a septic system?
Company and when system drained...not hooked up.
Lovely property, this should go fast.
Appreciate the like and you checking out the property @chrishalford3858 !
Beautiful! Wish I had the money😢...
It’s not cheap to me. The price of real estate is out of reach for most of us,me included 😮
The cabin looks like a solid structure. Good job 👍
Thank you and something for everyone to consider !
Work on your credit, save money and get a loan
@ No loans needed . I’m north of $160k in savings, my mortgage is paid off completely 20 years ago.
Today my credit score is 832. But isn’t that for someone looking to borrow money for decades ?
I just decided I don’t believe I need a credit score anymore. I’m retired with a decent income. I’m not going to borrow money from any bankers any more.
I lived in this country when it was uncrowded and inexpensive. So today’s prices tend to bother me a little. I have always went after what I wanted and paid the price for it. No matter what.
But lately I have gotten tired of giving my little bit of money away. (!!). It’s easy to see that the whole planet is competing for our dollars, each and every one of us. All they want is your money and my money.
Sorry, I shouldn’t have commented. The internet is so judgemental by folks who don’t actually know the whole picture.
Merry Christmas and God Bless !

I live like this Nor cal its a good worthy life not for the meek.... great price lot of land and big house !Cant even touch this for under a mil in the porrest nor cal county!
Many are eyeballing Maine, the way life should be!
Beautiful property
Thank you!
Looks like they are developing on both sides of this place.
Land, more land and lots of wildlife when you are in Northern Maine, Aroostook County that is the size of CT and RI with only 11 people per square mile. NJ has 1000 people per square mile. 😀
How many lots could be made on the property, is there a minimum lot size restriction, thanks for all the driving you do to show these gems
You can make a piece, wait five years, make a piece or have a subdivision done. Originally these 40 acre Patten lots were to be one residence, not to be split smaller.
It would be a shame for someone to cut up this dirt to make more lots!! People go there for privacy and to live in a peaceful, natural setting, not to clog up the place!! All too make money 🤦♀️
@@steel12city17cowgirl Look this one over too.. another 40 acres in same area of Drews Mountain / Lake ua-cam.com/video/L0oevaFWqbg/v-deo.html
@@steel12city17cowgirl Hog it all and don't divide!
Why split it, it would be my permanent, people avoidance place
How much noise from all those unsightly wind mills?
Did not hear them and I live on Drews Lake, don't hear them.
Can you find something in this price range more south,Brownsville jct
Search the state here mooersrealty.com/idx/listings/mooers-realty-listings/
I don’t see that it's sold. Is it still available and is there parking that is accessible year round to leave a vehicle, then proceed to the cabin?
Not year round road...3 seasons access and sold. But more like it... www.mooersrealty.com
I wonder if it’s still available
Sold.. more at www.mooersrealty.com
How is there plumbing all the way out there?
Drilled water well..private septic.
This is the one i have been looking for ! ❤
Meet you down at real estate check out.
Beautiful place! Sending your info to a friend looking to move there sometime in next year or two. She retires this spring and both her kids, grandkids, and nephew live there. I think more mid-state, tho?
Thank you for the helping hand and here to answer her questions, to connect the dots. The site shows everything for sale around the state www.mooersrealty.com
So as a one time owner of a dream cottage on a lake I have a few pieces of advice. These are not negotiable for your piece of mind. 1: Certificate of location because "sorta" "kinda" is not good enough for property lines. 2: Gov't: This includes zoning, taxes and tax breaks such as "homestead reductions" and "age of buyer" if applicable. Know services and what's possible, expensive and available. Finally are there any restrictions? Collecting your own rainwater seems arbitrary but some areas forbid it. Go figure. 3: Well water testing or whatever your source. Septic tank condition and cost to empty if accessible off grid . 4: Electric and heating and cooling. Is the wiring 220 for ovens and dryers? Is it up to code and inspected? What RV insulation is there including Doors and Windows? A cute fireplace won't cut it for winter heat so now you need to think furnace and heat pump and may as well go central air at the same time. There are gov't programs for these so discuss with a HVAC expert. All these are basics I did not know when I bought in my early 20s with no advice. You might even decide to go new construction using your land if that is an option. Finally if it sounds to cheap to be true.... it is. Be aware when you buy and you will have a peaceful place to enjoy instead of years of fixing and renovation over shoddy work. Good luck.
Off grid and drilled well..septic. not on the lake and up in the foothills overlooking one. 🗻
This is perfect for me. If only it was in North Carolina.
Wished trailer hitches were on all these properties and you could haul them out of state. But you would not be in Maine with all the other perks many states lack!
Guess I'm demented too, I like the effect.
Why do realtors use camera lens that stretches/distorts the real images of rooms to make them look bigger than they are?
Thank you!! Thought I was the only one. Cannot stand those bent pictures.!!
The drone shows you the wide open outdoors of Maine...Welcome to Maine! 🏔
Pure sweetness!!!!!
That's a fantastic property.
Sure is beautiful up there
