Yes I love the channel. I am 62 so Being a native, yet living in Michigan, I really like seeing the changing seasons. This is a great lot. Love the privacy, the forested acreage, and just how beautiful it is. Not many people really understand the majestic forested beauty that Maine offers. I do. Spent 9 years as forest technician with JW Seawall Co. Yeah, it was an adventure every day. Thanks for the channel. Maybe one day, God willing, I'll get one of these beauties. God bless.
Hi Carl. Being a forestry technician in Maine for 9 years, must have been an adventure. Did you cover all of Maine or just Penobscot County. Thanks for watching.
Born Loring Air Force Base, Limestone. Left when I was 6-7 years old. Love Maine. Miss the beauty and the trout streams. Will own land there in a few years.
Hi Michael. My college roommate is from Caribou. First time I ever went big ball bowling was at the base in limestone back in 1988. What State are you in now?
Peter, wow! Just bumped into your video for no particular reason (I'm in Indiana) but thought I would compliment you on your delivery! Just a very thorough, relaxed, informative video. Great job!!!
Cool property. Very diverse. NJ girl here. Spent most summer vacations in Camden & was at Unity College for a couple years. Once Maine gets into your system, you really miss the place. Stay awesome guys!
OMG! This one is a Keeper!! Luvv the Beaver Pond & that clear water feeder creek. Awesome price for such pristine land!! I think it's awesome to share your mineral equity with the local Indians, if that's your pursuit. Personally, I'd build my solar shack right across from the Beaver Pond & put a couple Adirondack chairs on the front porch & sit & watch Mother Nature paint me a tapestry of habitat wonders. Really luvv this one bcuz it's got a creek & a pond. It'll sell quick!! Thanx 4 Sharon! Skol!!
This property is amazing but not quite what I’m looking for. The aesthetic’s are amazing but I want something that’s commercially viable. Looking for something in Dixmont, Troy, Jackson, or Thorndike! I’m looking to split 1 to 12 acres off of a substantially larger piece of land for no more than $3000 an acre. I’d be willing to pay the legal fees associated with splitting. How would I go about that?
So the road goes through the lot, that means anyone can drive up the road at any time and park on the side of the road it they want to? If it's seasonal, can the buyer plow it themselves to make it year round? Can it be a house and a guest house according to zoning?
The road is a private right of way for those with the deeded right to it. The road could be plowed but it is nearly 6 miles from the public road. You can build a home and bunkhouse here with a permit from the State Planning office. This lot is currently under contract.
@@lifestyleproperties What does under contract mean? What is a bunkhouse? On that lot can a house, guest house, and barn be built? I assume, just for conversation, that you can have living quarters in a barn for your horse trainer. I've never been to Maine, what kind of plow would it take? A plow on a 4x4 truck, a plow on a Jeep Cherokee, a plow on a small riding lawn mower, a plow on a big tractor, or a commercial resort city snow plow? How many people can legally drive up into the center of that lot on that road (how many people have deeded access to that road? Seems like, just for conversation, that you'd make the 10 acres on the other side of the road be the bunk house and/or barn or just like empty space and you'd put a gate on a driveway to the remaining 41.5 acres. Maybe put all structures east of the road. Does that make sense to you?
What is the differences between a cabin and mobile home according the the local law? Does the cabin have minimal size limit? as one already asked, do you have to have a septic system for the cabin?
A cabin is stick built. A mobile home has a metal frame with axel and wheels. You don’t have to install a septic. An outhouse is permitted but would still require a soil scientist to design a plan $450
The difference is the construction type. A mobile home has a steel frame with axles etc.. No minimal size limit on a cabin. If you intend to have pressurized water inside the building you will need to have an approved septic system.
out of curiosity, does the "wetland" have any special protections ? like if you wanted to further dam and excavate to make a cleaner, bigger pond, could you do that legally ?
I may be interested in this property,,, I’m from Georgia,,, I’ll have to see what the hunting regulations are and what out of state hunting license…Any size on a cabin or any power to run to? Already have cash,,,
I have to share what with who that's on my property that I paid for with my own money?... but I have to Share What I find on my own property what the f. Good luck with that sale.... because...i was interested untill u mentioned that. Thanks for saving both of us time energy and effort Thank you 👍
The reality if the royalty interest was we have very few minerals in our lands in the area except for sand and gravel, which were not included in the reservation. The property just sold.
We mark them sold in the comments. One way to see newest first is to subscribe and turn on notifications. The best way to see all properties ASAP is to call or email us and ask for us to send email notifications of what you are looking for. Not all sellers will let us do video and some go under contract before the video is edited and loaded to RU-vid. Hope that helps.
The zoning is handles by LUPC (Land Use Planning Commission). Email Pete and he will send you a copy of the deed covenants. Peter@lifestylepropertiesme.com
@@lifestyleproperties How close is the nearest neighboring structure? How many neighbors on that road? Is it impossible to plow that much road yourself? How much does it snow there?
Nice piece of land Phil The mineral rights clause is kind of odd Seems like 35% is a sizable amount to give to the previous owners before the owner you'd have bought it from🤔
You see this a lot in other states, not as often in Maine. The difference here is that the previous owner does not have any right to come back to explore for minerals. Maine is not known for much in the way of mineral exploration. Most likely no one will ever mine this property.
@@lifestyleproperties Right on Folks I know I've looked at property in several states and most have some sort of mineral rights statement attached to them No rights or a percentage of... Have a great week
Be careful what you wish for. If you moved to the woods for a rural setting and a beautiful enviroment and your neighbor opened a business next door that was crushing cars all day we bet you would welcome some restriction then. These covenants work in this location ensuring that all owners in this area can enjoy their property, not just one. All those who buy land here are informed of the restrictions on use and appreciate them. There are areas with few limitations on land use in Maine with the exception of shoreland zoning which is a state mandated protection for our natural waters.
@@lifestyleproperties the point of buying something is to have full control over your property not to be dictated as to what you can do with your belongings! So just say that you're leasing the land instead of selling it because it's just like you're renting it if you have no rights as to what you can do with your land! It's all stolen land anyways!
I have a call into the lot association but I do not believe you could live in a camper. Entry level jobs can be found in Lincoln, about 45 minutes south.
i disagree with a few things,,, we own property here in florida, here in pasco county and up in marion county,,, i'll be damned if 1, someone is going to tell me what i can or can not build or put on MY property,, and i don't care how many indians had it before me,, no one is getting part of anything that we find,,, that's the 1 plus of buying land here in florida,,, we have the exclusive rights to it, we can't build a resort unless permitted or do logging without a permit, but all mineral rights are ours and the only building requirements is passing hurricane code,, some snobby places don't allow mobile homes , but our land up in ft mccoy, we are going to retire there, every tree is coming down , we're putting what ever house we want and whoever don't like it,, too bad, that's 1 of the first questions i asked when buying this land,, what are our land rights,, as long as the taxes are paid,, we rule
These reservations are already in the title to the property, it is a bit different than a new zoning law going into effect after purchase. Anyone buying this land knows up front what the reservations and restrictions are. We would agree with what you are saying should the rules be changed after a purchase. That would be a government taking which would/should require a serious justification ( ie. some greater public good) plus compensation for any losses to the property owner.
@@lifestyleproperties i understand,, but i still don't agree, the indians may have owned it once,, but they don't once it's sold,, the buyer/owner has complete say,,, no one else, that's how i want my land to be recognized,, the government has us over a barrel with property taxes,, but as long as we pay them, we are the king and queen,
Darryl a soil expert would need to determine the exact extent of wetland soils. The link to the map here shows the NRCS soil mapping for the area. You can also use the area tool on the bottom right menu to estimate the open wetlands that are seen in the aerial photo. It appears to be from 9 to 11 acres along the small brook. mapright.com/ranching/maps/80278ae3b935d3528635fcc6a1e147bd/share
i went to school with phil,, do i get half off for being a former class mate ??? :).. or are you having a land give away contest and i'm the only entry :)
@@lifestyleproperties Thank you. I didn't know that was the connection. So if you're just building a cabin with no pressurized water, there aren't any septic or other building code requirements? And no inspections?
I don't understand how this works... you buy the property but don't really own it in regards to mineral rights, so can the Indian nation at some point make a claim on the property for some other reason?
No that is not what Pete said in the video. You do own the minerals however should you decide to mine the property and discover gold you would need to pay the former owners a royalty interest.
Pretty minor common sense restrictions to ensure the remote beauty of this area. Like I said in the video. This lot isn’t for someone looking to start a commercial venture but for the one who appreciates remote nature and solitude.
