For Sale: 21,000 Acres of Maine Timberland

This Washington County property borders the East Machias River not far from the international border in country Mainers call “downeast.” It’s a region known for vast forests, pristine lakes, and proximity to the Atlantic. Fountains Land has listed these 21,948 acres for $12.87 million and describes them “a substantial timber base and established internal road network, enhanced by miles of accessible high quality frontage on several lakes.” For buyers that means plenty of hunting and recreational opportunities to go along with millions worth of spruce, fir, white pine, red maple, and cedar holdings. In addition, on-site sand and gravel deposits give owners savings on material costs for building and road upkeep. Fountains Land has the listing.
