Located along a paved public road with over 340 feet of frontage, this surveyed parcel offers a balance of rural living and accessible convenience. It's ideal for those who want the peace and quiet of country life without giving up a reasonable commute to work, school, or amenities. This gently rolling property sits between 465 and 490 feet above sea level and features a mature, nicely wooded landscape that provides both privacy and a picturesque setting. Roadside utilities including electricity and communication lines make future development easier and more cost-effective. While the land was soil tested in 1990, an updated test will be needed for septic planning. LaGrange, Maine, a small town of about 635 residents, offers a peaceful environment without being too remote. From the property, you're just 7 miles from I-95 at exit 217, making it easy to reach Bangor in about 35 to 40 minutes. For those with ties to southern New England, Portland is a 2.5-hour drive, and Boston can be reached in just over 4 hours. Outdoor lovers will appreciate the area's natural resources. Some of Maine's most beautiful and recreationally rich lakes are nearby, including Cold Stream Pond (13 miles), Schoodic Lake (20 miles), and Sebec Lake (22 miles). Anglers and paddlers will enjoy easy access to the Penobscot and Piscataquis Rivers, both less than 8 miles away. Plus, the University of Maine's flagship campus in Orono is just 27 miles away, offering educational, cultural, and sporting events throughout the year. Whether you're planning to build a full-time residence, a weekend getaway, or simply invest in a valuable piece of Maine land, this $30,000 property offers excellent value. With paved road access, roadside power, and low property taxes, this is an opportunity worth exploring.
