Albany Twp, M 16 L137.25 French HIll Rd - ±27 acre

Enjoy sweeping westerly mountain views, including iconic vistas of the White Mountains and Mount Washington, from this private ±27-acre off-grid parcel located in Maine’s scenic Western Foothills. This surveyed property offers a rare combination of privacy, usability, and access to exceptional outdoor recreation, making it well suited for a secluded retreat, recreational getaway, or future off-grid residence.

An updated, established driveway leads into the property and includes a bridge crossing a small unnamed brook, providing convenient access to a potential building site. The land features gently sloping to level terrain, making it easy to navigate and develop while offering flexibility in site placement. The setting is quiet and natural, yet not isolated, with several nearby year-round off-grid homes contributing to a sense of community.

Deeded access to the Crooked River enhances the property’s appeal, offering renowned fly fishing, paddling, and additional recreational opportunities just moments away. In the absence of a formal road association, neighboring landowners share responsibility for road maintenance, and the road is generally maintained year-round. Property taxes are kept low as the land is enrolled in Maine’s Tree Growth Tax Program, benefiting long-term owners and those interested in forestry or conservation.

Despite its peaceful setting, the property is conveniently located within approximately 30 minutes of Bethel, Norway, Bridgton, Sunday River, Mt. Abram, and Pleasant Mountain, providing easy access to skiing, dining, shopping, and year-round recreation. North Conway is less than an hour away, offering tax-free shopping and additional outdoor amenities. Portland is approximately 1.5 hours away, and Boston can be reached in about three hours.

The surrounding area offers abundant public access to lakes, rivers, hiking trails, and conserved lands, making this an ideal base for outdoor enthusiasts. An additional ±13-acre parcel is also available for those seeking extra acreage or expanded privacy.
