MLS# 1652181 - 387 Smith Ridge Road, Dennysville, ME 04628

The sellers of this 50-acre woodland property along Maine's scenic Bold Coast are looking for buyers interested in sustainable forestry, conservation, and self-sufficient rural living. Untouched by commercial harvesting for more than 50 years, the forest--approximately half hardwood and half softwood--has been managed with guidance from a certified forester. A woodland management plan is available, with estimated sustainable harvest potential of 15-20 cords of firewood annually. Originally a rustic hunting camp, the property has been improved for year-round living and responsible land stewardship. The heavily insulated 800-sq-ft cottage includes a finished heated basement, root cellar, heat pump, wood stove, generator, septic system, and productive well with manual backup. A large pole barn with heated workshop, greenhouse, gardens, chicken coop, and additional outbuildings support a sustainable lifestyle, while the primary value remains the mature forest itself. Equipment purchase options include a John Deere 41-HP diesel tractor with loader, logging winch, and backhoe.
