Escape to the quiet woods of Northern Maine with this 51.2-acre recreational property at 132 Rainey Road in Prentiss. Located at the very end of Rainey Road, this property offers exceptional privacy with nearly no traffic and a peaceful setting surrounded by Maine’s expansive forests and wetlands.
The property includes a 920-square-foot recreational and hunting cabin built in the 1990s. The cabin features two bedrooms, wood stove heating, a drilled well, plastic septic holding tank, and a simple solar PV and 12-volt power system. It is designed for a more independent, off-grid style of recreation and provides a comfortable base for hunting, exploring, or simply getting away from it all.
The 51.2 acres, per survey, range from approximately 600 to 630 feet in elevation. The land is rolling and more varied than the topographic mapping might suggest, with a mixture of rolling knolls, forest, wetlands, and diverse habitat. Above the wetlands, the soils are primarily dry, silty and stony loams. Along the transition into the wetlands are areas of old-growth white cedar, adding another interesting dimension to the landscape.
Wildlife is abundant throughout the region. Moose, deer, black bear, ruffed grouse, hare, beaver, and other Maine wildlife can be found in this remote setting. The combination of forest, wetlands, and varied terrain creates excellent habitat for wildlife and a natural environment for outdoor recreation.
The property also includes a New Holland skid steer and implements. The machine is currently non-running and should be considered a parts machine or a project for someone interested in investing the time and money to get it running.
Prentiss is an unorganized township where permitting and property taxation are handled through the State of Maine. The tradeoff for the limited public services is a low property tax rate and a remarkably quiet, rural environment.
Despite the remote setting, Springfield is approximately 12½ miles away for gas and basic needs, while Lincoln is about 32 miles away. Bangor is approximately 80 miles, Calais about 70 miles, and Boston roughly 316 miles or five hours away.
Nearby East and West Grand Lakes, vast undeveloped forest and conservation lands, extensive public access, and the New Brunswick border near Vanceboro provide even more opportunities to explore.
If you’re looking for Maine land for sale with a cabin, privacy, wildlife, and room to roam, 132 Rainey Road is worth a closer look.
