Classic western Maine mountain lot with approx 6,000' of frontage on Mt. Blue Stream AND amazing views of the surrounding mountains including: Mt Blue, Mt Abraham & Saddleback Mountain in the distance & Spruce, Day & Bean mountains close by. The improved access road gets you off Route 4/Rangeley Road & into the property. The topography varies from extremely steep along the banks of Mt Blue Stream to rolling topography in the interior portions reaching an elevation of just over 940'. Plenty of wildlife signs and recent cutting have created forest edges where wildlife can thrive. Mt Blue Stream, originating from Mt Blue Pond, affords some great fishing for wild Brook Trout. The setting along Mt Blue Stream, although quite steep in places, is amazing and very picturesque. Most of the lot has been harvested leaving behind vigorous stands of young growing trees along with mature well-wooded areas between the harvested sections. This desirable tract is located less than 15 miles from Farmington and just under 30 miles from Rangeley. Rangeley, to the north, offers some of the best outdoor experiences found in northern New England. There is just over one mile of frontage on Route 4 with power. Outdoor activities nearby include fishing and recreating on the Sandy River, Atv trails and of course snowmobiling.
Sandy River, just on the other side of Route 4 from this property offers good paddling and some good sections of whitewater rapids. From the nearby town of Strong at Devil's Elbow along Rt 4 is a great location to start an 11-mile paddling journey thru several Class II rapids on your way to Farmington. The historic Fly Rod Crosby 45-mile hiking trail is nearby and steeped in history of the famous fisherwoman and Maine' first registered guide, Cornelia ''Fly Rod'' Crosby.
The 8,000-acre Mt Blue State Park is nearby offering miles of hiking trails, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing & access to Webb Lake.
