Cozy Off-grid Cabin in Downeast Maine

Goin’ uptah camp? Here is your spot! If you enjoy the outdoors, hunting, fishing, 4-wheeling.. or just being able to ride countless miles of dirt roads and enjoy the quiet solitude that the backwoods brings, look no further! Being able to cover miles and miles of roads winding through the woods and hundreds of acres of blueberry barrens is a Downeast tradition at its finest. Though not on the water, this new construction, well-made camp is close to plenty of fishing spots and boasts photos of all kinds of wildlife walking past the front of the camp from the trail camera! Rocky pond is close by if you wish to swim and even being in “the woods”  you are only about 45 minutes out of Machias.  This is a leased lot, camp was built in 2021, measures 16 x 24 and has a 4’ wide porch across the front and an 8 x 12 screen house so you are able to enjoy the outside area without the company of the blackflies! There is a greywater system in place for the sink and shower, w/on demand hot water and an outhouse near the camp. The camp is outfitted with solar panels and an inverter & batteries, all LED lights and a 3 way refrigerator.

This is a leased lot through American Forest Management that has to be renewed every 3 years. The roads are gated off each year during mud season to protect the roads, this is roughly March 15^th to May 15^th. The camp has a lot of great craftsmanship evident in its woodwork! Currently the lease runs $1320. For the 3 years and the taxes to the state for TWP 25 on the camp are $35.50.  This is a one room camp heated with a woodstove and a propane wall heater if wanted. There is a small shower room with an on demand hot water heater. Water comes from a spring just down the hill from the camp. The camp is powered by solar panels, has the inverter and back up batteries in place. The camp does have a loft for more sleeping space if one should need it, or it would be easy to build a bunk room off the back.

This area is rich in history for years of hunting and the famous “Downeast Game War’s”, the Maine version of the “Wild West.”  There are photos in the camp of about every type of Maine wildlife crossing just in front of the camp on the trail camera’s. You can use 4 wheeler to get to many of the area streams and rivers to fish and Rocky pond is just up the road if you want to swim.  You can enjoy countless miles of roads and trails over the barrens and woods.  Close enough to “pavement” to gain easy access to convince stores and larger shopping areas of Ellsworth and Bangor.
