If you have been dreaming of an off-grid escape with vast open space, fertile fields, mature forest, and direct frontage on a trout stream, then you won’t want to miss this opportunity. With 40 acres of land, a charming log cabin, two garages, a pavilion, barn, and additional outbuildings, this property has everything you need for a secluded retreat or a self-sufficient homestead. We are excited to share this incredible property located on the eastern border of Aroostook County, Maine’s largest county.
LOCATION This property is situated in Eastern Aroostook County, a region known for its agricultural richness and expansive forests. Covering 6,828 square miles but home to just over 67,000 residents, this area offers unmatched privacy and space. The location, 208 Field Lane in Blaine, Maine, places you within easy reach of local conveniences while maintaining the peace and quiet of country living.
Despite its remote feel, this property is conveniently located just 3.5 miles from Mars Hill for shopping, dining, and services. It’s 17 miles from Presque Isle, home to the University of Maine at Presque Isle, hospital and a commercial airport. Bangor, the largest city in Northern Maine, is just over two hours away, and Fredericton, the historic capital of New Brunswick, Canada, is an easy 1-hour, 45-minute drive—perfect for day trips across the border.
POINTS OF INTEREST For outdoor enthusiasts, the area offers endless recreational opportunities. Big Rock Ski Area, just 4.7 miles away, features 29 trails catering to all skill levels. ITS 83, a major snowmobile and ATV trail, is accessible from the property, allowing you to ride directly from your land.
If you’re looking for even more wilderness, the North Maine Woods is about 40 miles west, providing millions of acres open to the public for hunting, fishing, camping, and hiking.
The Francis Malcolm Science Center in nearby Easton offers a planetarium and nature trails, adding an educational component to the area's natural beauty.
GREAT LAND The land itself is a perfect mix of open fields and forest. Of the 40.7 acres, approximately 24 acres are fertile fields, while 16 acres are covered in mature woodland. The soil, per NRCS mapping, consist mostly of Caribou gravelly loam and Mapleton shaly silt loams. These are well-suited for farming. The property has been used for hay production without chemical treatments for nearly 40 years, making it ideal for organic farming. With elevations ranging from 380 to 490 feet above sea level, the land offers scenic views of nearby Mars Hill Mountain and good natural drainage.
TROUT STREAM One of the property’s many outstanding features is its 645 feet of frontage on Prestile Stream. This spring-fed limestone creek is a haven for brook trout, making it a fantastic spot for fly fishing. The stream runs from Easton to the Canadian border.
CABIN GARAGES & OUTBUILDINGS Now, let’s talk about the buildings on this property. The 20x24 Ward log cabin, built in 1995, is a cozy and rustic retreat. A 10x20 sunroom and a 16x20 wood shed, added in 2020, provide extra space and convenience. For storage and workspace, you’ll find two large garages—a 24x24 two-story garage built in 2015 has carports on both sides, and a 28x28 two-story garage built in 2012 includes a finished second floor. Additional structures include a 12x20 barn/chicken coop (built in 2013), a 22x24 pavilion that doubles as a fenced dog kennel, a well house, and a laundry building.
Whether you’re looking for a homestead, hunting lodge, or vacation getaway, this property delivers unparalleled value. Don’t miss out—reach out today to learn more and schedule a viewing!
