Are you dreaming of owning land in Maine's scenic north country—a place where mountain views, clean air, and endless outdoor adventure are right outside your door? Welcome to Hersey, a quiet town of just 73 residents in southern Aroostook County. This 115± acre tract of northern Maine timberland offers a combination of natural beauty, accessibility, and diverse use potential. Whether you're looking for a private homesite, a cabin getaway, a hunting and fishing retreat, or a long-term timber investment, this property can do it all.
A NICE PIECE OF LAND The land fronts approximately 900 feet on the Aroostook Scenic Highway, offering convenient year-round access with power available along the paved frontage. The terrain gently rolls from about 760 to 820 feet above sea level, providing multiple potential building sites with privacy and natural beauty. Mill Brook meanders through the property for an estimated 3,200± feet, with another 1,000 feet along a feeder stream—an ideal setting for those who appreciate the sound of running water and the chance to cast for native trout right on their own land.
The forest here is a healthy mix of roughly two-thirds hardwood and one-third softwood, with Monarda-Burnham soils covering about 80% of the property—excellent for wildlife habitat and forestry management. The remaining Howland, Thorndike, and Plaisted soils are suitable for all uses from wildlife to timber and even some farming. QUIET & CONVENIENT LOCATION Just seven miles away, the friendly town of Patten offers essentials like groceries, a health clinic, building supplies, and the Patten Lumberman Museum—a must-see for anyone interested in Maine's logging heritage. For larger services, Houlton is about 36 miles away with the nearest hospital and a border crossing to New Brunswick, Canada. Presque Isle, Bangor, and even Boston are all within reasonable driving distance, making this property both remote and reachable.
