49± acres of wooded Maine land, a permanent pond, thick wildlife cover, and a converted school bus already positioned for recreational use. This property on Savery Road in Searsport, abutting Long Cove Headwaters Preserve, offers an interesting combination for hunters, outdoor enthusiasts, and buyers looking to establish a homestead on their own acreage.

The property has approximately 235 feet of frontage on a paved, town-maintained road, with power available at the road and an existing driveway leading to the bus. Beyond the driveway, the land is explored on foot. A walking trail follows the perimeter, providing a way to become familiar with the property, scout wildlife movement, and enjoy the woods throughout the seasons.

The terrain is predominantly flat, with spruce making up much of the forest. This is not an open hardwood ridge or a managed timber investment. Instead, the appeal lies in the dense conifer cover, permanent water, and wildlife habitat. Approximately 20 acres of pond and associated wetlands are located within the property, providing habitat for waterfowl and other wildlife. The seller frequently observes ducks, while deer sign and grouse have been encountered during property visits.

For deer hunters, this is the type of property where understanding movement through thick cover may be more productive than looking for broad views or open fields. Natural travel corridors, wetland edges, and the transition between dry ground and cover offer places to investigate for potential stand locations. The perimeter trail also makes it easier to scout the property and learn how wildlife uses the land.

One of the most distinctive features is the converted school bus, which comes with the sale. The bus runs and has been finished inside to provide a recreational camp setup. It includes a queen bed, a concrete sink and shower, a propane instant water heater, a composting toilet, and a diesel heater supplied directly from the bus's fuel tank. The interior is finished but not insulated, and although wired for electricity, no electrical power source is included. The seller previously used a solar setup that will not convey.

The bus offers a convenient place to return after time in the woods and an existing base for enjoying the property while considering longer-term plans. Buyers should independently confirm any intended occupancy or use with the town.

Homesteading is another possibility worth exploring. Approximately half the acreage is described as dry and usable, although much of it is heavily wooded. The area closer to Savery Road appears to offer the most promising potential building location, with power already available at the road. A small opening near the bus could be used for gardening, while creating larger gardens, pasture, or additional openings would require clearing and preparation.

No soil testing has been completed, and residential building potential, septic suitability, and other intended uses are subject to buyer investigation and applicable approvals. The boundaries have reportedly been surveyed, although a survey is not currently available, and the property is not enrolled in Maine's Tree Growth program.

Nearby Long Cove Headwaters Preserve offers another opportunity to walk and explore the Searsport area, while the surrounding MidCoast communities provide access to services, coastal recreation, and everyday necessities.

For someone looking to hunt, observe wildlife, establish a recreational camp, or work toward a future homestead, this property offers a substantial piece of Maine woodland with water, trails, and an unusual head start on enjoying the land. Arrange a visit, walk the perimeter trail, and see what the acreage has to offer.
