Located on Woodland Ridge Road in Danforth, this rare
lakefront parcel offers the kind of privacy, waterfront, and accessibility that
is becoming increasingly difficult to find in Maine—especially at this price
point. Lot 25 in Woodland Ridge Estates features approximately 3.22 surveyed
acres with an impressive 483± feet of frontage on Lower Hot Brook Lake. With
year-round road access and grid power available, this property is well suited
for a seasonal getaway, future cabin, retirement retreat, or year-round home.
The land itself is heavily wooded and relatively level,
sitting between approximately 420 and 440 feet above sea level. The terrain
offers flexibility for development while maintaining a natural buffer of trees
for privacy and seclusion. Whether you envision building close to the water or
tucked farther back into the forest, the lot provides multiple possibilities
for creating your ideal Maine retreat. The property was perk tested in 2007 and
passed, though a new soil test and septic design would be required based on
future plans.
Lower Hot Brook Lake is a warm-water lake encompassing
roughly 713 acres and known for its peaceful atmosphere, bass fishing,
swimming, kayaking, and canoeing. Unlike heavily developed recreational lakes,
this area offers a quieter experience where paddling along the shoreline and
enjoying the sounds of nature remain part of daily life. The lake’s modest
depth and calm conditions make it especially appealing for small boats and
family recreation.
The location also places you near some of eastern Maine’s
premier outdoor destinations. Nearby East Grand Lake and Spednic Lake provide
additional fishing and boating opportunities, while the Downeast Lakes
Community Forest offers thousands of acres of permanently conserved forestland
with trails and recreational access.
Despite the peaceful setting, conveniences remain
accessible. Danforth offers basic services including fuel, groceries, and
banking, while larger service centers such as Lincoln, Houlton, and Bangor are
within driving distance. This property combines acreage, significant
waterfront, year-round access, and privacy into a package that is increasingly
hard to duplicate in today’s market.
