Description
This 64.3±-acre tract on Bear Mountain Road in Fairfield sits in the heart of Somerset County, Maine, and offers a combination of privacy, timber value, and hunting access that's hard to find this close to town. The property is gated, giving the new owner control over access, and fronts 1,765 feet along Bear Mountain Road, providing multiple potential entry points and flexibility for future use.
The timber here has not been harvested in over 20 years, leaving mature mixed softwood and hardwood stands with oak, beech, and cherry among the dominant species. That level of growth translates directly into both standing timber value and quality wildlife habitat, and the deer and moose sign across the property points to real, established hunting appeal rather than potential that still needs to develop. Roughly 2 acres of wetlands add habitat diversity and a water source that draws wildlife through the property.
The land is enrolled in Maine's Tree Growth Tax Program, which keeps the annual tax burden low for continued forest management. A forest management plan is available for the new owner's review, and the exterior boundaries have been blazed in areas, so the property lines are easy to walk and verify on the ground.
For a buyer looking to offset acquisition costs, the tract's size and frontage make it a candidate for a parcel split, subject to local subdivision requirements, with the potential to sell off a portion while retaining the balance for personal use. Power runs nearby, which would simplify utility access for a camp or future building site on either the retained acreage or a split-off lot.
Recreational access is a strong point for this property. It sits close to Maine's Interconnected Trail System (ITS), the network of snowmobile and ATV trails that link this part of Somerset County to thousands of miles of riding across the state, making it a draw for both hunters and powersport riders. The location is also convenient to everyday services and dining, sitting roughly 10 miles from Waterville and about 12 miles from Skowhegan, so the property delivers a remote, wooded feel without sacrificing access to town.
Whether the goal is a hunting camp, a long-term timber investment, or a property to split for partial resale, this Fairfield tract combines road frontage, mature timber, wetland habitat, and trail access in one gated package.
