The property boasts 1,200+ feet of frontage in three sections, providing adequate access (and power) to the property.

The primary access is from the south as a right- of-way over Earnhardt Drive from Meadow Brook Road (State Route 16). This has historically been used for timber management activities and is the most likely access for any other uses, such as recreation or camp development. That said, additional road access from Hancock Pond Road could be developed with some engineering. The property does have well-established internal forestry trails for management and recreational activities.

SITE DESCRIPTION The topography is rolling with a northwest exposure. The highest point of the parcel is approximately 800’ ASL and is in the northeastern corner of the lot. From there, there is a sharp 300’ drop in elevation to a point where the slope becomes level to gradual to the lowest point of 400’ ASL along Hancock Pond Road.

Soils are sandy and fine sandy loams and loamy tills, ranging from excessively well-drained Adams and Berkshire soils in the north to poorly-drained Wapole soils in the south, associated with a mapped wetland. Despite the wide variation, well-drained soils cover the majority of the property, with a few intermittent, seasonal streams. Harris Brook, a year-round brook, flows through the far eastern corner of the woodlot.

In addition to forestry, the property and trails offer many opportunities for recreation, including hunting, hiking, snowshoeing and bird/wildlife viewing, along with many areas for peaceful enjoyment of the western Maine mountains.
