286 Upper Hostile Valley RoadLiberty, ME 04949

Description

A unique riverfront property in a tranquil setting with 318 feet along the beautiful Upper Sheepscot River in Midcoast Maine. This sun-drenched, gently sloping parcel is fully prepared for your dream build, with thoughtful improvements already in place: land cleared, soil tested, a three-bedroom septic design completed, and power conveniently located at the road. Alternatively, enjoy it as your own private camping retreat. With a southern exposure, it is perfectly positioned for an off-grid camp.The property is beautifully lined with mature native trees and blooming perennials, including cardinal lobelia, offering a serene natural setting. It directly abuts 14 protected acres owned by the Midcoast Conservancy Land Trust (the Campbell section of the Liberty Woods Preserve), which includes an additional 1,500 feet of river frontage. This ensures lasting privacy, and access to land for hiking, fishing, and exploring. The Upper Sheepscot River plays a vital ecological role, supporting 17 species of migratory fish including the endangered Atlantic salmon who return here to spawn. Local lore even claims that author Ben Ames Williams wrote Hostile Valley on the bridge overlooking this very stretch of river. Located just 30 minutes from vibrant Belfast, Camden, or Augusta, and only 5 minutes from Liberty's charming establishments, including Liberty Tool, Lake St. George Brewery, John's Ice Cream, and access to Lake St. George's private beach. This lovely slice of heaven is just waiting for you!
