34. Acres
Welcome to 50 Wilderness Park Road in Mattawamkeag, Maine—a rare opportunity to own 34± acres of land featuring approximately 1,500 feet of frontage on the crystal-clear Mattawamkeag River and another 1,500 feet of frontage along Wilderness Park Road. If you've been searching for a property with exceptional privacy, easy year-round access, multiple building locations, and outstanding recreational opportunities, this one deserves your attention.
Unlike many off-grid properties that require extensive infrastructure before you can begin building, this parcel already includes two separate driveways, each stretching roughly 1,000 feet into the property and leading to elevated potential building sites. With elevations ranging from approximately 200 to 350 feet above sea level, you'll enjoy scenic views, natural drainage, and multiple possibilities for constructing an off-grid cabin, family retreat, or recreational getaway. The extensive road frontage also creates the potential for subdivision, making this an attractive investment for the future.
The Mattawamkeag River has long been considered one of Maine's cleanest and most beautiful waterways. It also holds an important place in conservation history. As a young man, Theodore Roosevelt found inspiration along this river while visiting a place now known as Bible Point, where he often read quietly in nature. Those experiences helped shape the conservation ethic that later defined his presidency and forever changed America's public lands.
Outdoor recreation begins right from your property. ATV and snowmobile trails connect directly from the land, providing access to hundreds of miles of maintained trail systems throughout the region. Just minutes away, Mattawamkeag Wilderness Park offers riverside campsites, walking trails, and additional opportunities to experience the area's unspoiled beauty. Nearby, the mighty Penobscot River—the largest watershed in Maine, draining more than 8,500 square miles—adds even more options for boating, paddling, fishing, and exploring.
Despite its peaceful setting, the property is conveniently located just 15 miles from Lincoln for shopping, restaurants, healthcare, and services. Bangor is approximately one hour away, while Augusta, Portland, and even Boston are all within an easy day's drive.
Whether you're planning an off-grid homestead, a waterfront family compound, or simply investing in quality Maine land with exceptional river frontage and future potential, 50 Wilderness Park Road offers a combination of natural beauty, accessibility, and flexibility that's becoming increasingly difficult to find.
