If you've been searching for an affordable large-acreage property in Maine with excellent recreational, hunting, and homesteading potential, Lot B on Lookout Lane in Springfield deserves a closer look. This 84A± acre parcel offers an opportunity to own a substantial tract of surveyed timberland for less than the price of many one-acre waterfront lots. Located in the quiet town of Springfield in eastern Penobscot County, this property places you in the heart of Maine's outdoor recreation country. Springfield is a rural community of approximately 300 residents known for its expansive forests, abundant wildlife, and the historic Springfield Fair, which has been a local tradition for more than 175 years. The property is conveniently located about 23 miles from Lincoln, 72 miles from Bangor, 96 miles from Fredericton, New Brunswick, and less than five hours from Boston. A 2020 survey provides clearly defined boundaries, corner markers, and mapped roads, giving buyers confidence in what they're purchasing. The land features approximately 4,000 feet of interior roads, making it easy to access much of the property by vehicle, ATV, or side-by-side. Multiple potential building sites are located throughout the parcel, including several along the road system and another near the end of the road where a camper is currently situated. The terrain ranges in elevation from approximately 600 to 720 feet above sea level, creating a mix of upland forest and lower drainage areas. Soil mapping indicates productive Thorndike silt loams on the higher ground, with Monarda and Burnham soils found near the drainage corridors and wetland areas. A small brook and a series of beaver ponds form the headwaters of Bog Brook, adding wildlife habitat, scenic beauty, and a natural water feature to the property. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the property's proximity to the West Grand Lake Chain, located just a few miles away, providing access to some of Maine's best fishing and boating.
