Heath Farm – Patten, ME
Located in northern Penobscot County, the Heath Farm is a 184.5± acre parcel of recreational timberland with plenty of practical uses. Once a working Christmas tree farm, the property includes about 42 acres of plantation trees now growing into stud wood-size saw logs. The rest of the land consists of young mixed-wood forest, with a solid stand of mixed wood in the back.
The property has excellent access, with over 2,400 feet of frontage on Waters Road and nearly 2,350 feet on Shin Pond Road. Both are public, paved roads with power at the street, making access and future development straightforward.
This land has everything you need for outdoor recreation: direct ATV trail access, a reliable water source, and plenty of wildlife. Rowe Brook, a trout stream with a gravel bottom, runs for over 3,600 feet through the property, lined by cedar and spruce trees. The land is home to deer and grouse, offering great opportunities for hunting and fishing.
There are three former rental lots on the property, each with a well and septic system. Two are along Shin Pond Road, and one is on Waters Road, giving you multiple options for building a home, camp, or even just setting up a camper.
The Heath Farm was once a family potato farm before being converted to a Christmas tree operation. The silty loam soils are productive, and the trees are thriving. There are also gravel deposits along Shin Pond Road, providing on-site materials for construction.
The property is only 5 minutes from the town of Patten, where you’ll find groceries, hardware, building supplies, dining, auto services, and healthcare. Patten is a small community of under 900 residents, but has much of what you may need right in town.
Whether you’re looking to build, hunt, fish, or just enjoy the outdoors, this property has the space and features to fit your plans.
