Maine Woods Escape

Description

Off-Grid Living in the Heart of Aroostook County - 45± Acres in Amity, Maine Escape to your own private hardwood forest with this 45± acre off-grid property on Monument Road in Amity. This surveyed lot was last harvested about 15 years ago and features a beautiful mix of mature hardwood, softwood, and mixed growth. Wildlife is abundant here—expect visits from moose, bear, deer, owls, and more. A newly built gravel driveway leads you back to a private clearing where roughly one acre has been opened up for living. The property features a freshly drilled well, and at its heart is a brand-new 600 sq ft open-concept cabin sitting on a solid gravel pad. The structure is wood-sided with a durable metal roof and has been fully insulated—including the floor—making it ready for four-season use. The interior is unfinished, giving the new owner a blank canvas to make it their own. The cabin is powered by a brand-new 2200-watt solar power system with lithium-ion batteries and an inverter, providing quiet, reliable off-grid electricity. Inside, you'll find a gas range, electric refrigerator, and a cozy wood stove that kept the space warm through the 2024-25 winter with just 2.5 cords of wood. A composting toilet and stand-up shower make this a fully functioning retreat. Whether you're looking for a year-round off-grid home, a weekend getaway, or a base camp for hunting and exploring, this property checks all the boxes. Remote enough for privacy but accessible enough to enjoy, this Amity parcel is a rare find.
