Nearly 200 acres of gently rolling woods and blueberry fields with spectacular views in every direction. Just over a mile of shared private road leads to a network of trails and woods roads to explore including a half mile or so of frontage on Seneca Brook. Blue Hill Heritage Trust owns the abutting conservation lands and shares the mile or so of private road with the handful of homes that comprise this quiet neighborhood. Electric power, phone and utility lines are at the adjacent parcel, but the property's gradually elevated topography and southern exposure also make wind and solar power feasible options. This life-style property offers potential for numerous private home sites, blueberry cultivation, forest management, farming, recreation, conservation, a wide range of home businesses or all of these. The miles of woods roads are perfect for horses, skiing, hiking, and biking. There are both fresh and saltwater boat launches nearby. Shopping, restaurants, schools and a critical care hospital are all within a ten mile radius. Airports at Bangor and Trenton, I-95, Acadia National Park, and Bar Harbor - all less than an hour away. Perhaps the most striking aspect of this unique property is its topography and orientation, gradually sloping toward the warming southern sun during the day, cooled by the onshore breeze off the bay in the evenings. There are numerous potential home sites tucked away behind among the oaks and tall pines, all connected by well-drained gravel roads. Great opportunity for a family, and their family, to share what is wonderful about life on the Maine coast.
