Hunters Hideaway is a large tract of recreational timberland for sale in Ashland, Maine.  The ninety plus or minus acre parcel of harvested timberland was last cut around 2012.  The most recent harvest provided a nice gravel interior road to the center of the lot, and a really nice-looking stand of young aspen and birch amongst the taller softwood trees remaining from the prior harvest.  The property is located in an area with a healthy deer population.  This section of the town of Ashland has a large deer wintering area.  Knowledgeable deer hunters look to the Ashland area, especially late season, as deer are migrating from their summer areas to this area to “yard up” for the winter. The topography of the lot is fairly flat through the majority of the parcel, but drops off to the west.  Opening up a majestic view looking over the valley to the west is easily obtained by clearing a few acres of timber along the hillside.  Building a cabin in that area would provide great sunsets as well as nice summer breezes from the prevailing winds from the west.  Along with a flat topography the land has very good soils with 70% of the acreage having class 2 soils.  Class 2 soils can handle intense farming.  They also grow healthy stands of trees.  Throughout the acreage there is sign of moose, deer and small game.   Several rubs, and lots of droppings and sign of browsing by whitetail on the fresh hardwood shoots show the presence of whitetail deer on the property.  This is an outstanding parcel that is surrounded by farmland, rivers and streams as well as timberland of various age class.  This is a location that with some advance preparation, some patience and time should yield opportunities to harvest a mature whitetail buck.  On a recent visit to the property, I encountered a shed hunter who showed me a nice 10-point rack he had found that morning as he was headed into the woods to look for a couple more drops from larger bucks he had seen on the property.  At the very back of the property the local ITS trail crosses by.  So, you do have direct trail access from the property with just a small amount of clearing.  This is a great opportunity to purchase a tract of recreational timberland that you can utilize to hunt, camp and recreate on while each and every year the young forest grows larger with time.  The property has good access off the Frenchville Road and is just 20 miles from Presque Isle, and about 5 miles from the center of Ashland where you will find a small grocery store, furniture store, auto repair facilities and a few other small businesses.  Ashland is the gateway to the North Maine Woods which is an area of roughly 3.5 million acres of working forest.  Here you will find numerous trout filled waters, grouse filled patches of early successional forestland, large numbers of moose, and very few people.  If this sounds appealing to you, then give me a call so we can take a walk and view the potential of Hunters Hideaway, in Ashland, Maine.

Located right off of The Katahdin Woods & Waters Scenic Byway is a tract of land with views of Bear Mountain.  The 20-acre parcel has everything the recreational land owner is looking for.  Those items are access, views, mature trees, privacy, and recreational opportunities.  The property is located just 10 miles from the town of Patten, Maine in the rural community of Hersey.  It is great property with predominantly class 2 and 3 soils and a great topography that varies from relatively flat to some sloping areas that overlook Bear Mountain.  The access to the property is off of the paved Katahdin Woods & Waters Scenic Byway.  An extremely well-built private gravel driveway off of the public way curves through the property to a secluded and level potential building site, or just a great location to park an RV or travel trailer.  The gravel road is approximately 1000 feet long, so it sits back off of the public road, providing a private cabin, home or RV site.  Utility power is available for the property at the street, so building here gives you the option of connecting to the grid, or instead using an off-grid power system.  The property was selectively logged by a hand crew a couple of years ago.  The result is a healthy forest with a mix of young regenerative stands, some middle-aged trees, and a few mature trees.  The result is a very attractive woodland setting.  There are many varieties of timber on the property.  You will find pine, spruce, fir, birch, ash, cedar and more as you walk through the trails left by the recent wood harvest.  The sloping area of the property which is in the southwest portion of the tract, overlooks Bear Mountain and that section of the Appalachian Mountains. The town of Hersey has a population of 73 people.  That very low population density means you have quite a bit of privacy in Hersey.  The nearby community of Patten has a population of just under 900 people.  In Patten you will find hardware, groceries, a couple of restaurants as well as healthcare.  Patten is just a 10-minute drive from the property.  The city of Houlton is about 40 minutes away, and there you will find a community of about 6200 residents.  Houlton is the center of commerce for this part of Aroostook County. The recreational opportunities to be enjoyed from the property are numerous.  Signs of whitetail deer, moose, grouse and black bear are found on the property.  Just a few feet from this location is Hall Brook.  You will find pan sized brook trout if you explore the shadowy pools and riffles along the course of Hall Brook.  Just 1 mile from the property you will find the headwaters of Hall Brook which is the 38-acre Hall Pond.  Hall Pond is a trout pond and has a maximum depth of 39 feet and its cool temperatures make it a healthy fishery for brook trout.  This pond is just 1 mile from the property so in just a few minutes you could launch a canoe for an afternoon paddle searching for a limit of trout. If you are in the market for a recreational timber tract that has it all.  You will want to seriously look at the Bear Mountain Homesite right off of the Katahdin Woods & Waters Scenic Byway.  This property has it all.
