Property Description

A 3-acre streamfront parcel with 375 feet of frontage on Jackson Stream and approximately 388 feet of paved frontage on Route 17 (Augusta Road). The hard part is already done on this one. A driveway and culvert were installed back in the 1970s and are still in place, running in from Route 17 to a cleared building site on the high, dry upland, with a cable gate at the entrance that keeps the drive private. The driveway has grown in over the years, so a day with a brush cutter opens it right back up, but the entrance is already there and the ground has been settled for fifty years. The property has a dug well in place, the perc test has passed, and septic design is complete for a 3-bedroom conventional gravity system, ready for permitting. Power lines run along Route 17 right at the frontage. A shed and two older campers sit on the cleared area and convey with the property. They are in serviceable shape and give you a place to store tools and stay on site from the first weekend. The land is wooded and gently sloping, with mature trees and wildlife moving through year round. The stream holds fish, and with your own frontage on it you can walk down from the campsite and cast whenever you like. The building envelope sits on the dry upland to the east, outside the mapped floodplain that follows the stream corridor, and shoreland buffer rules keep the wooded frontage along the water private and protected. You are 25 minutes from Augusta/Gardiner and 25 minutes from Rockland and the Midcoast, with Camden, Penobscot Bay, and the Route 17 scenic corridor all an easy drive.
