Location

Brownville is located on the eastern side of Piscataquis County, Maine’s least populated and second-largest county. This charming town, home to just over 1,100 residents, is nestled on the edge of the wilderness, offering a peaceful retreat while still being close to modern conveniences. For essential services, Milo is only 7 miles away, offering grocery stores, hardware and building supplies, and restaurants. If you need access to a hospital or other major services, Dover-Foxcroft is just 20 miles from the property. Bangor, one of Maine's most vibrant cities, is 41 miles away, while Portland, the state’s largest city, is about a 2.5-hour drive. Boston is within reach too, approximately 4 hours and 15 minutes away.

Points of Interest

One of the highlights of the area is Schoodic Lake, located just 2.8 miles from the property. This stunning 7,000-acre lake reaches depths of nearly 200 feet, with crystal-clear, cold waters that make it perfect for fishing, boating, and paddling. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the easy access to ATV and snowmobile trails, just under a mile away on Smith Road—no need for trailering! For even more adventure, the Katahdin Iron Works gate into the North Maine Woods is about 20 miles north, offering millions of acres of working forest with endless opportunities for hunting, fishing, hiking, and boating on the region's many lakes and ponds.

Land Features

This 21.4-acre lot has interesting natural features starting with the rolling elevation range from 460 to 580 feet above sea level. The soils, as classified by the NRCS, are primarily a Howland-Monarda association, making the land suitable for forestry, wildlife, and limited grazing. The timber here is varied, offering a range of species and sizes, and there is the potential for tax savings through Maine's Tree Growth Tax Program.

The spotlight feature of the land is the eastern boundary line, which is Alder Brook. The sale includes approximately 1,500 feet along this free-flowing stream. Emanating from springs in the high hills to the north of the property, this stream flows through Brownville on its way to its confluence with the Piscataquis River, a major tributary of the Penobscot River.
