Albany Twp, M 16 L137.25 French HIll Rd - ±13 acre

Enjoy sweeping westerly mountain views and unforgettable sunsets from this private ±13-acre off-grid parcel located in Maine’s picturesque Western Foothills. With panoramic views of the White Mountains and a peaceful natural setting, this surveyed property offers an excellent opportunity for a secluded retreat, recreational getaway, or future off-grid residence.

The parcel features approximately 1,500 feet of right-of-way road frontage, providing flexibility and accessibility. An established driveway leads into the property toward a potential building site, and a small unnamed brook winds through the land, adding natural character and charm. The terrain is gently sloping to level, making the property easy to navigate and well suited for development, recreational use, or long-term ownership.

Deeded access to the Crooked River enhances the property’s appeal, offering opportunities for fishing, paddling, and enjoying one of the region’s well-known recreational waterways. Several nearby year-round off-grid homes contribute to a sense of community while maintaining the privacy and quiet that define this location. In the absence of a formal road association, neighboring property owners share responsibility for road maintenance, and the road is generally maintained by those living in the area.

The property benefits from low property taxes, as it is enrolled in Maine’s Tree Growth Tax Program, making it an attractive option for buyers interested in land stewardship, forestry, conservation, or long-term investment.

Despite its tranquil setting, the parcel is conveniently located within approximately 30 minutes of Bethel, Norway, Bridgton, Sunday River, Mt. Abram, and Pleasant Mountain. These nearby towns and destinations offer year-round recreation, skiing, dining, shopping, and services. North Conway is just under an hour away, providing tax-free shopping and additional outdoor adventures. Portland is approximately 1.5 hours away, and Boston is roughly a three-hour drive.

The surrounding area offers abundant public access to lakes, rivers, hiking trails, and conserved lands, ensuring endless opportunities for outdoor recreation in every season. An additional ±27-acre parcel is also available for those seeking expanded acreage or enhanced privacy.
