45.13 Acres
Positioned along one of Downeast Maine’s busiest travel corridors, this 45.13± acre property in Ellsworth offers a rare combination of commercial exposure, natural beauty, and long-term potential. With approximately 1,300 feet of frontage on Route 1A, the main highway connecting Interstate 95 to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, this property benefits from constant visibility in a region visited by millions each year. Whether you are considering commercial development, investment potential, or building a private residence with acreage, this property offers flexibility that is increasingly difficult to find.
The land itself features a beautiful mix of open field, mature forest, rolling terrain, and flowing brooks. Approximately six acres are open field, including roughly five acres of quality Peru Colonel soil. Elevations ranging from approximately 410 to 440 feet above sea level create a gently rolling landscape with scenic natural character throughout the property. Several brooks flow through the land, while the mature timber offers both privacy and potential timber value.
The property’s size allows for a private homesite tucked back from the road while still benefiting from excellent highway access and visibility. Route 1A serves as one of the primary travel routes between Bangor, Ellsworth, Bar Harbor, and Acadia National Park, making this an outstanding location for a future business venture, investment property, or mixed-use opportunity.
Downtown Ellsworth is roughly 15 minutes away, Bangor International Airport is approximately 30 minutes away, and Bar Harbor is under an hour from the property. Large acreage parcels with this combination of visibility, accessibility, natural beauty, and development potential are becoming increasingly difficult to find in the Ellsworth area.
