Property Description
This 30+ acre property in Washington, Maine has been carefully improved with a long-term vision for recreation, homesteading, and natural beauty. A permitted driveway leads to a cleared parking area, and an extensive trail network weaves through the land—perfect for walking, snowshoeing, or exploring. Hundreds of hours have gone into grading, stump grinding, and leveling to create a road and path system that's easily maintained with a once-a-year mow. The lot is dividable into two separate parcels, offering flexibility for future development or multi-generational living.
At the southern end of the property, a thoughtfully planted orchard includes over 30 heirloom apple trees selected for their resilience, low-maintenance care, and seasonal harvest. Many of the varieties are ideal for cider making and were chosen with both humans and wildlife in mind. Ground cover and fencing are in place, and years of care have resulted in a hardy, established orchard that now thrives with little upkeep.
Additional plantings include white oaks and blight-resistant hybrid chestnuts, enhancing the landscape while supporting wildlife and long-term ecological value. A small composting outhouse sits under mature pines at a peaceful clearing known as ''King Pine Landing,'' which has been used seasonally for camping and would make a wonderful future homesite. Another prime build location sits atop a gentle hill, offering southern exposure and views over the orchard.
The land also features two historic stone cellar holes, extensive rock walls, and old pasture stone piles—ideal for landscaping or future projects. A seasonal spring at the southwest end could potentially be developed into a pond. The property feels wonderfully private and backs up to large landlocked forest parcels that provide an extended natural buffer.
This is a unique opportunity to build, grow, and enjoy life on a beautifully prepared piece of land in a quiet corner of Midcoast Maine.
