Looking for a large, private tract of Maine land with incredible natural features and easy access to town? This 145± acre parcel on Parsons Landing Road in Dover-Foxcroft offers a unique mix of hardwood hills, softwood valleys, and a scenic brook that flows into nearby Garland Pond. Whether you're looking to invest in timber, build a homestead, or create a recreational retreat, this property meets all the criteria for the perfect piece of ground.
Located just 4.5 miles from downtown Dover-Foxcroft—the county seat of Piscataquis County—you'll enjoy the convenience of local services, grocery stores, hardware supplies, and Northern Light Mayo Hospital while still feeling deep in the woods. Bangor is only 40 miles away, and Portland, Boston, and even Montreal are within a half-day's drive, making this property easily accessible from major cities in the Northeast.
The land features approximately 2,900 feet of paved road frontage and about 2,500 feet along a peaceful, unnamed brook—a scenic water feature that adds wildlife habitat and recreational potential. Elevations range from 630 to 840 feet above sea level, offering rolling terrain and, with selective clearing, the possibility of expansive views. According to NRCS soil mapping about 44% of the soils are classified as Plaisted-Howland, which are known to be productive for growing crops or managing timber.
This is a great property for those who value land stewardship and smart tax savings. The acreage is currently enrolled in Maine's Tree Growth Tax Program, helping reduce property taxes while allowing for long-term forest management. A good portion of the standing timber is hardwood, with some commercial-sized value.
For outdoor lovers, this land offers direct ATV trail access and is close to several points of interest, including Sebec Lake (with salmon and lake trout fishing), Peaks-Kenny State Park, Appalachian Trail access, the Piscataquis River, and a local ice skating arena.
