Located on West Indian Road in the quiet rural town of
Woodville, this 40.18± acre surveyed parcel offers an opportunity to own a
large stretch of forested waterfront land on the legendary Penobscot River. If
you’ve been searching for privacy, wildlife, mature timber, and access to some
of Maine’s best outdoor recreation, this property deserves your attention.
Whether you envision an off-grid cabin, recreational
getaway, hunting camp, or long-term land investment, this property delivers
authentic Maine wilderness in a peaceful setting far removed from busy highways
and crowded neighborhoods.
Woodville is a small Penobscot County town with a population
of approximately 201 residents, located on the western side of the Penobscot
River. Despite the secluded feel, services and shopping are conveniently
available in Lincoln just 12 miles away. Bangor is approximately 60 miles
south, while Portland, Boston, and even New York City remain within reasonable
driving distance for weekend or seasonal use.
The land itself features approximately 631 feet of frontage
on the Penobscot River, one of New England’s great waterways stretching roughly
350 miles across Maine before flowing into Penobscot Bay and the Atlantic
Ocean. This section of the river is known for outstanding wildlife habitat and
recreation. Bald eagles, deer, moose, otter, beaver, and numerous wading birds
are commonly seen here, while anglers appreciate the area’s exceptional
smallmouth bass fishing.
Elevations range from approximately 170 to 230 feet above
sea level, with a high riverbank leading into more level interior forestland.
The soils consist primarily of Plaisted and Howland loams along with Monarda
complex soils. While too rocky for large-scale farming, the land is well suited
for timber growth, food plots, or a small garden area. Older tree growth and an
established trail network throughout the property make it easy to explore on
foot, by ATV, or while hunting.
The property also provides access to a vast recreational
region including Baxter State Park, the Allagash Wilderness Waterway,
Debsconeag Lakes, and the North Maine Woods. Millions of acres of public land
and dozens of nearby lakes offer endless opportunities for boating, paddling,
fishing, and outdoor adventure.
