Description
This 565±-acre property in Oxford County, Maine, is a large block of western Maine woodland with real elevation change, a dependable year-round water source, and consistent wildlife activity across the tract. It sits off Route 232 near Abbotts Mill, roughly 12 miles from Sunday River Resort, in the heart of Oxford County's timber and recreational land belt. The boundary runs roughly four miles around the perimeter, giving a sense of the scale of the ground a buyer is working with.
Topography and Cover — The land carries substantial elevation change across two prominent hills, both of which open into viewpoints over the surrounding hill country. Cover is a mix of hardwood and softwood: oak, maple, and birch through the hardwood stands, with pine and hemlock mixed in on the softer ground and along the ridgelines. The timber was harvested approximately eight years ago and has come back into a heavy-browse, high-cover regrowth stage. That kind of early successional growth is exactly what concentrates deer activity. It provides dense bedding and escape cover while still preserving the property's standing timber value over the long term. Several open areas break up the timber and offer building potential for a home or camp, subject to town approval.
Water — Two springs on the property feed a stream that runs year-round, giving the land a water source that holds up independent of seasonal rainfall. Year-round water like this is a real asset for both wildlife concentration and future camp or homestead use on the open ground.
Wildlife and Recreation — Deer, moose, bear, and ruffed grouse have all been observed on the property. Combined with the spring-fed stream, the regenerating timber, and the elevation change across two hills, the property offers real habitat diversity for a hunting or recreational buyer: bedding cover, browse, dependable water, and natural travel corridors along the hillsides and stream drainage.
Access and Infrastructure — An existing network of logging roads runs through the property. Several sections are mowed and passable by car, giving a buyer usable interior access for scouting, hunting, or forestry work without needing to cut a new trail. A Conex shipping container is included with the sale and offers secure, waterproof storage for equipment, tools, or gear. The property does not have direct frontage on a public road. Still, it carries deeded access by foot or vehicle of any kind, along with the right to install and maintain utilities above or below ground.
Location — The property sits off Route 232 near Abbotts Mill, about 12 miles from Bethel and 12 miles from Sunday River Resort, one of the Northeast's largest ski areas, putting this parcel within easy reach of downhill skiing, mountain biking, golf, and the broader Bethel recreation economy alongside its own hunting and timber value. Rumford is close by as well, offering the nearest full range of services, dining, and fuel. The Little Concord Pond and Rumford Whitecap hiking areas are both a short drive away. Boston, Massachusetts, is approximately 170 miles away, making the property a manageable weekend drive for buyers from southern New England.
At ±565 acres, this is a large-scale holding for Oxford County, offering a buyer real flexibility: hunt it, manage the timber, set aside ground for a future camp or home, or simply hold a substantial block of Maine woodland with water, elevation, and wildlife already in place — all within reach of Sunday River.
