Good luck getting anyone to get back to you. I emailed about a few properties and nothing. Ended up going with another realtor and closing on the land this friday.
So, to live on this property you would need to put in a well plus some kind of off-grid power for the pump, a septic tank and drainage field, a gravel road to the interior of the property, clear off and level a building site, add at least one well-insulated cabin, add some kind of off-grid power system for the cabin and add an off-grid heating system. Plus you would need a wood shed and two winters' worth of seasoned fire wood should something go wrong with the propane tanks and propane heaters. And you would need to find a way to deal with the bears, racoons, coyotes and other wildlife that would be attracted to cooking smells and outside trash cans when you are sleeping. And you would need screens on all your windows and the porch because of black fly season. And snowshoes and a snowmobile for times when the paved road does not get plowed. Plus a 4WD, high clearance vehicle with chains for the tires for snow season and mud season. And maybe a place for a helicopter to land if someone gets seriously injured on the property or has a heart attack and needs transportation to the nearest level-3 emergency room. That is a lot of money that needs to be spent to make it possible to live on this property with a basic level of comfort and safety. And is there even cell phone coverage this far out in the boonies or will you need to get a ham radio set up for emergency communication?
I know a 80 year old woman who has lived off grid, with no solar and water up North for 25 plus years.She lives in a 150 year old cabin. She splits her own firewood. To each his own I guess.
Hi Rick, is the easement still in place for the power company? What if they decide to run power through the middle of the property ? Would you have an areal map or location on map ? How close are the neighbors, left ,right behind or across the road ? Thank you
@@lifestyleproperties I was born in Lincoln and my dad patrolled those woods as a trooper in the 50's. We lived in Mattawamkeag for awhile then moved to the coast. I love " A Tombstone Every Mile ". I live in Delaware now with my wife of 40 yrs. The house is gonna be paid off in a couple of years and we have been checking your listings. I'm getting homesick. That's her listed in the header, my name is Joe.
@@dickhead8775 I know it takes trees a long time to grow. Never heard it called long term timber holding before this. Always heard it called timber rights if the buyer does not get the right to the trees with the land. Makes the land worthless to me personally.
@@richjageman3976 Maybe I am mis-interpreting it (I am English so I am not familiar with American laws). I am guessing (but I could be wrong) that you do get the right to the trees with the land. Although there are some tall trees, most are small so would be worth little if harvested now, but worth a lot more in several decades time. I assume this is what the realtor means, but I may be wrong.
Hello Rick my name is Jesus I'm from California very expensive ..I'm subscribed to your channel.. recently I've been wanting to buy a piece of land..but I have few questions regarding the the topic ...how much do you need for down payment..if so how much..can you help on getting loan or provide info on how to ...as you could probably tell I'm a frist time buyer
Well most lenders in Maine that do land only loans are looking for around 30% - 40% down. There is one lender that only deals with land and other properties in Penobscot county and they have been excellent for buyers with very good credit. So if your credit score is very good you may be able to do a bit better in Penobscot county than that.

You just described our little piece of heaven on earth!
Blimey,you are a little ray of sunshine 🇬🇧😂
Or you could buy a condo in NYC , I will take Maine.
Plus ...it’s technically legal to live off grid anywhere in America ! No lie ! Realtors will sell anything

I do not see in the deed where the easement has been deeded back. The original sale of the easement happened in 1966, and has yet to be installed.
You should update the description when a property is sold
Normally we do, thanks for pointing that out to us.
i like this ....if i could only get a price on well and septic....ill build...house
Well and septic should be in the ballpark of $15,000. Call Rick at 207-731-9902 if you want to see it and get a hard estimate from contractors.
Good questions Peter Bubalo , i'm interested in Ricks answers as well
See maplink above for checking out the neighborhood.
no restrictions as in no building regs?
No deed restrictions. Building permits are required here but are not difficult to obtain.
How many years roughly till it could be logged again?
Around 20 years.

Long term timber holding?
Not sure we understand the question.
@@lifestyleproperties In your description you say "This is a long-term timber holding," What is long term timber holding?
@@richjageman3976 It takes a long time for trees to grow to saleable size.
