Dixmont, Map 5-Lot 1 Garland

Farm Description

This 688 kingdom parcel could be your next investment opportunity with its natural features and proximity to Bangor, Maine. The 688-Acre parcel on Mount Harris, including the private 5-acre Howe's Pond and intermittent streams, offers a serene setting for recreational activities or a future home. The historical fire tower site and the breathtaking views from the top of Mount Harris add unique charm and potential for outdoor adventures. Built in 1945, the 45' wooden fire tower was used until the early 2000S before it was removed in 2006. Some parts of the tower are preserved in the PA Forest Fire Museum, while some of the cement base is still present. The 1.9-Acre old fire tower site is owned by the State of Maine.

There are approximately 200' of public road frontage on Garland Road, a short distance from Routes 202/9. Access to the internal sections of the lot is from the Nason Hill Road, a seasonal road. The improved internal gravel road system allows access to various parts of the lot, making it easier to explore the area. The owner will keep mineral rights for the currently existing 5-acre gravel pit located off Nason Hill Road in the easternmost section of the lot.

The recent harvest has opened views of the surrounding landscape, including the nearby Dixmont Mountain and as far as east as Schoodic Mountain. This lot presents an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in wildlife habitat, hunting, hiking, ATV and snowmobile recreation, or simply enjoying the beauty of the Maine countryside. Bangor and Brewer are an easy 30-minute commute and offer all amenities with two major hospitals, shopping, dining, Bangor Waterfront Concert Venue, and Bangor International Airport.
