This ±565-acre property in Oxford County, Maine offers real elevation change, a year-round water source, and consistent wildlife activity. It sits off Route 232 near Abbotts Mill, roughly 12 miles from Sunday River Resort. Topography and Cover: Elevation crosses two prominent hills with views over the surrounding hill country. Cover is mixed hardwood and softwood -- oak, maple, and birch, with pine and hemlock on the softer ground and ridgelines. Timber was harvested about eight years ago and has come back into a heavy-browse, high-cover regrowth stage that concentrates deer activity and provides dense bedding cover, while leaving standing timber value for the long term. Several open areas offer building potential for a home or camp, subject to town approval. Water and Wildlife: Two springs feed a stream that runs year-round, independent of rainfall. Deer, moose, bear, and ruffed grouse have all been observed on the property, with bedding cover, browse, water, and travel corridors along the hillsides and drainage. Access: An existing network of logging roads runs through the property, with sections mowed and passable by car. A Conex shipping container is in place and conveys with the sale for secure, waterproof storage. The property has no direct road frontage, but carries deeded access plus the right to install and maintain utilities above or below ground. Location: The property is roughly 12 miles from Sunday River Resort and 12 miles from Bethel -- within reach of skiing, biking, and golf. Rumford is close by for services and fuel, with Little Concord Pond and Rumford Whitecap hiking nearby. Boston is roughly 170 miles away, a manageable weekend drive from southern New England. At ±565 acres, this is a large-scale holding for Oxford County: hunt it, manage the timber, set aside ground for a camp or home, or hold a block of Maine woodland with water, elevation, and wildlife in place -- all within reach of Sunday River.
