Property Description
ORBETON & PERHAM STREAM WATERFRONT - 15.6 Acres of Pristine Wilderness
Discover a Maine paradise with this 15.6-acre surveyed parcel featuring over 2,000 feet of combined frontage along the scenic Orbeton and Perham Streams. Located at their confluence, this off-grid property offers true seclusion, excellent privacy, and direct access to snowmobile and ATV trails—ideal for outdoor enthusiasts.
A roughly 4-acre section of the land is suitable for off-grid building and has already been soil tested for a 3-bedroom septic system, with all proper setbacks measured. Surrounded by mature timber—including large white pine and spruce—there's potential for sustainable harvesting or milling your own lumber for a cabin or retreat.
This region is rich with year-round recreational opportunities: mountain biking, cross-country skiing, fishing, and wildlife watching. Orbeton Stream is renowned for its critical Atlantic salmon habitat and world-class trout fishing. In 2015, over 5,500 acres around Orbeton Stream were permanently protected by the Trust for Public Land—this lot sits just south of that protected area, offering easy access to miles of conserved wilderness.
To the northeast, the Perham Stream Bird Sanctuary provides additional privacy and a haven for native wildlife. Despite the remote feel, you're only a short drive from the charming towns of Kingfield, Rangeley, and Phillips, with Saddleback and Sugarloaf ski resorts less than an hour away.
Access Notes: Vehicle access is available during summer and fall with 4x4 vehicle. In winter and spring, reach the property via snowmobile or on foot from Reeds Mills Road or Potato Hill Road
