A healthy Forrest doesn’t happen spontaneously. Being a good steward of the land means thoughtful tree harvest so a diverse ecosystem will allow wildlife to thrive and prosper. The farmer planting corn and not harvesting is as unthinkable as a Forester not selectively harvesting trees.
Great piece of land, thanks for sharing! Love the comments from Phil to the tree huggers haha they need to learn some Maine history and how so many Mainers have made their living.
@TheDude Lebowski I personally don't mean tree hugger in a bad way. From the way he mentioned it a few times, I wouldn't doubt that he probably gets a lot of comments about properties that were recently logged.
@@graphguy I agree. I like trees as well, I live in Maine and it wasn't a negative comment. Some potential buyers might think selective clearing is a bad thing but just need to be educated how it's good in the long run. That's all.
No disrespect to those who don’t like timber harvest. Maine is a timber state and that is a big economic driver for our region. If you don’t like timber harvesting stay in California.
@Phil Mcphail the history runs deep. LIke many others, my great grandfather and grandfather came down from Canada to work in the industry for many years. I'm thankful for the hard work they put in as it laid the foundation for my family here in Maine.
A few weeks ago it was purchased in an online auction for 54,500. Unfortunately, they then said it was a 'reserve' auction. Now listed at 100k, which for the type of access and land, is overpriced per acre in Maine.
Sorry, but I've never heard of "Tree Growth Tax Status," and I've been watching Maine Real Estate for a couple of years now. Less than $1000/acre - hard to beat that with quality soil, forested land with a nice brook. The Indians made lands look like parks, timber harvesting has always been a good thing. People confuse timber harvesting with complete deforestation. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I totally get the importance of having to thin a forested area for new growth but the point everyone is trying to make is somebody just made money off that land and now they want to get rid of it. They kinda raped the property before selling it.
So those who harvest timber that don’t want to sell their land and keep it for the next harvest you’re OK with. However, those who cut and are willing to sell you think they are somehow harming the land and you?. If you don’t want to buy their land, you don’t need to, those who are looking for property to purchase this is an opportunity.
the way taxes work up there, thats how they do it. They will list it as a tree farm, pay little taxes for first few years and taxes increase as years go on. When the lot is mature they are paying full taxes so they have to harvest. But I agree flipping property after you tear it up clear cutting it is a crap deal. and 10k an acre that is only a seasonal road is a bad deal. Some may think a brook is a good deal but the maine epa has made it expensive to have property with running water thru it. These are just my observations and I'd wager the agent would disagree because they want to sell, sell, sell!
My wife just watched the video and she likes the area. It is too big for her liking though at this time. Keep posting these kind of properties and the right one for us will be offered at the right time! Thanks for all the great videos!

Just found your channel. I’ll be brief with my comment. I travel on the road as an insurance adjuster and I love traveling and hiking and getting off grid when I’m not working. The only place I have not been is Maine. I grew up in North Idaho and I missed that remoteness. I’m interested in buying some land for an off grid a little farm cabin thing up there. My fear is one, the bugs. The black flies and mosquitoes are hell up there kind of like Alaska is that it becomes a problem two, seems to be much more affordable up there than anywhere else forest. Is there a reason for that? So cold people don’t wanna live there, (something I think I’m actually looking for:-) or is it something else? I’m just curious because I looked for land every day for years all over the country from the desert to the coast to the mountains and it’s very difficult to find a beautiful place like that with reasonable prices anymore just wondered what you thought. I’ll check out your other listings and give you guys a call as well. Thank you for this video.
Why do people think that timber harvesting is bad? Crazy. I'd like to know why you can't get a right of way close to the state highway. The property would be much more desirable.
What’s up with the timber huggers???? Plant Trees!!!! It’s a winning solution and if the government gives you a tax break, that’s great. My complaint about this harvest is that I need to find a chunk of land fast and I need the logs for timber framing.
Another Great Video Friend! Hopefully this will be the one, just have to get my Better Half on board with my great ideas, she’s just not a fan of fiddle heads like this mainea who was raised on my great grandmother’s awesome Maine farm recipes, yummy in the tummy she always used to say.👍🫵🙏😎☃️
Black Rock will love this land.
They didn't move fast enough on this one.
I like Tree Growth Tax Status Phil (:
Great video (as usual).
Thanks for watching!
It was very interesting
This guy is pretty based.
*UNited Country Lifestyle Properties of Maine* WOW beautiful piece of property, thank-you sir for taking the time to show us. GOD Bless.
Thanks for the like!
How much is the down payment? I want it
Thanks so much Phil fabulous video very informative I truly enjoyed it
Thanks for sharing Karen.
10 acres would be enough for me
I love it.
Thanks for the like!
wow! very nice! good price too!
Thanks, Doc
I love it! Exactly what I am looking for. Also, there is no power available correct? Would be an off grid situation?
Yes this is off grid. There is a utility easement if you want to extend the grid power.
Yeah, I grew up in Oxford and never ever heard anyone pronounce it that way. The way you said it is how we say it. And everyone else I know!

Who doesn't like trees? His discourse on it was spot on right.

None
100k for 100 acre is good price. But need to check the the nearby availability stores.
A few weeks ago it was purchased in an online auction for 54,500. Unfortunately, they then said it was a 'reserve' auction. Now listed at 100k, which for the type of access and land, is overpriced per acre in Maine.
@@philpalmer4877 the property did not sell at auction. It is now being offered conventionally.
I’ve been looking at land that map link would be helpful

@@philmcphail2228 You're welcome 😊

Nice property Phil. Not a bad price either. Thanks for sharing.

I'm looking for something that has enough timber to use to build a cabin with. At 100 acres, did the harvest take out all the lumber level trees?
No it did not.
Very nice property! Hope this sells fast. I’m bummed you missed out on those fiddleheads. Thanks for the tour Phil!😁
Thanks for the comments Val ❤
I love these kind of properties, a little larger than I would prefer but I am still a couple years from buying something like this.
Thanks for watching

Has the doil been pfas tested? I know Houlton was listed as a clean up site but I’m assuming that is not something listed on a conventional soil test?

@@lifestyleproperties thank you! The link you sent is more accurate than what I was looking at.
Property runs so close to the road but you have to take that long roundabout way to get to the land. :(
True, elevation near the road makes access there not possible; along with the fact that right of way access isn't all year.
Yes right of way is where it is as shown in the video.
Is it still available?
It has sold.
"If you don't like tree growth tax status, don't leave it in the comments and just move on."... haha.
Thanks for watching Kurt
Phil, can you go over what tree growth tax status means? Thanks.
I did a video in this. Search on TH-cam for it
The only concern is access to the land, it seems a rather roundabout way in.
That’s where the access road is.
Is this still available?

that is a very round about way to the property
It is what it is

They are not informed Jameson. Maybe they will do some research and understand why it is good for the land.
It’s a great piece of property with a lot of potential. If it’s still available when I finally arrive I’d love to see it.
Very nice piece of land. Nice deer funnels along the brook.
Thanks Neil this could be a great hunting property
As always, great video. Please send me the link for the soil maps.
Email me for the soil map
What exactly is tree growth tax status?
Google his explanation on TH-cam
Can you snowmobile from property
The trail does not connect on the property. Couple miles down the road.
@@philmcphail2228 thanks
Electric hook up available?
It’s an off grid site but the utility easement is in place.
Trashed!!!
Way to get your hands dirty!
Thanks for watching Paul
Whats a fiddlehead taste like???
Asparagus and broccoli had a baby
@philmcphail2228 lololol thats great,love yhe channel
Salt and butter, otherwise they would have no taste.
What is the price of it get on with that
Price is $100,000 a shown in the video

Gotta love when a real estate agent tries to convince you how great a timber harvest is. This property won't be the same for 75+ years.
Not the land for you John. You are correct. It wont be the same for 75 years. It will be better for wildlife not so good for you.
