Why You'll Love It
If you've been looking for a larger riverfront parcel with substantial waterfront and room to enjoy
the outdoors, this approximately 3.5-acre property in Mattamiscontis Township deserves a
closer look. Offering an impressive 700 feet of frontage on the Penobscot River, this parcel
provides an opportunity to own a significant stretch of one of Maine's most historic and
recreationally appealing waterways. The land features relatively level, usable terrain with
mature, older-growth trees, creating a naturally attractive setting for a private camp, recreational
retreat, or potential future homesite. A former county road runs along the river, providing
convenient access to the shoreline and making it easier to enjoy the extensive waterfront. An
additional feature that distinguishes this parcel is a small stream that also runs through the
property, adding character and another element to its natural setting.
The Penobscot River offers an outstanding recreational experience, especially for anglers. This
section of the river is known for its smallmouth bass fishing, and there are more than five miles
of water to explore between Mohawk Rapids and the dam in Enfield. Whether you enjoy casting
for smallmouth bass, boating along the river, or simply spending time beside the water, having
700 feet of private frontage provides plenty of opportunity to enjoy it all. For those with a jet
boat, the potential to access another 23 miles of navigable water makes this an especially
interesting location for exploring the river system. The property also benefits from ATV trail
access, allowing you to enjoy Maine's extensive recreational trail network right from the area.
Situated on Mattamiscontis Road in northern Penobscot County, this property offers the privacy
of an unorganized township while remaining within easy reach of nearby communities. Lincoln is
approximately 8½ miles away, less than 15 minutes by car, providing access to grocery stores,
restaurants, healthcare, and everyday services. Bangor is about 40 miles away, approximately
45 minutes, offering additional shopping, medical facilities, entertainment, and access to Bangor
International Airport. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the property's proximity to the Lincoln
Lakes Region, where dozens of lakes and ponds are located within a 30-minute drive. The
renowned Katahdin Region is also within approximately an hour, including Baxter State Park
and Katahdin Woods & Waters National Monument, where you'll find some of Maine's finest
hiking, camping, fishing, and outdoor recreation.
Preliminary soil testing has been completed, and a survey is to be completed. With 3.5 +/-
acres of usable land, 700 feet of river frontage, mature trees, and the added attraction of a small
stream, this parcel offers a distinctive opportunity to create your own private riverfront getaway.
Another advantage of owning property in Mattamiscontis Township is the attractive property tax
rate of just $6.89 per $1,000 of assessed value, making this an affordable opportunity to enjoy a
substantial piece of Maine waterfront.
