Looking for a piece of land surrounded by more bodies of
water and recreational opportunities than you’ll know what to do with? If
you’ve been looking, or even if you haven’t been, this is a property you’re
going to want to take a look at. This 13.9-acre surveyed parcel is right in
Maine’s coveted Lincoln Lakes
Region, meaning within about 30 minutes of this property, you have around 14
named bodies of water for you to enjoy. The land itself is a surveyed parcel
along Caribou Road in Passadumkeag, offering a rare combination of privacy,
convenience, and straightforward development potential. Featuring approximately
550 feet of paved, year-round road frontage with power available at the road,
the property is easy to access in all seasons and already has a new driveway
being installed, giving buyers a strong head start whether they plan to build
immediately or simply hold for future use. The land itself is a well-balanced
mix of mature woodland, and gently rolling ground, providing several appealing
spots for a home site, cabin, or seasonal RV setup. A completed soil test
confirms suitability for building, and the detailed soil mapping shows sections
of Machias fine sandy loam, one of the more workable and better-draining soil
types in this part of Maine, along with areas of natural peat that create a
protected wildlife habitat and add the classic forested character common to
rural Penobscot County.
The Penobscot and Passadumkeag Rivers are only minutes away,
offering fishing, paddling, and miles of quiet water to explore. Cold Stream
Pond, one of the cleanest and clearest lakes in northern Maine, is a short
drive away and features Morgan’s Beach, a popular sandy swimming area perfect
for summer days. ATV and snowmobile access are readily available throughout the
region, and the lot provides enough acreage for private trails, outdoor
storage, or simply space to enjoy the woods.
Despite its privacy, the location offers quick access to
daily necessities. Lincoln is just 20 minutes north and provides full services
including grocery stores, restaurants, hardware, big-box shopping, and
Penobscot Valley Hospital. Bangor is only about 35–40 minutes away for major
shopping centers, medical facilities, and Bangor International Airport.
Interstate 95 at Exit 217 (Howland/LaGrange) lies roughly six miles from the
property, making regional travel simple. The Orono and Old Town area, including
the University of Maine, cultural events, and Stillwater River recreation, is
also an easy drive south.
Altogether, this Caribou Road parcel stands out as a
versatile piece of land suitable for a year-round home, a seasonal getaway, or
a long-term investment. With survey work complete, soil testing done, road
access secured, and power at the street, much of the preliminary effort has
already been handled. The combination of privacy, accessibility, and proximity
to lakes, rivers, and essential amenities makes this a highly practical and
appealing option for anyone looking to establish a foothold in the Lincoln
Lakes Region.
