complete : Cornville 198 Acres Unique opportunity to own a large tract of land in a growing central Maine community. The property is located a scant 1.5 miles from the city line of Skowhegan; the shiretown for Somerset County. Nearby there is a hospital, golf course, major retail stores, restaurants, etc. Major access to the land is Route 150. I-95 is approximately a 30 minute drive. Currently this property is being managed as timberland. The property is “off the beaten path” and is accessed by the Old Hilton Hill Road. Power and phone are available at roadside. There is a small stream that winds its way through the parcel. A recently constructed gravel road accesses the property for nearly half a mile. On the front there is an old field, which can be easily reclaimed, of approximately 8 acres overlooking Devils Bog. A great use for this property is a private deer hunting retreat. Access to the property is controlled and there are no easements on the land; this allows for exclusive use of the property. The land supports a thriving white-tail deer population which can be managed for the long-term. The topography is relatively flat and there are large areas which can be converted into food plots. Coincidentally, the property is located in Wildlife Management District 17, which has the highest deer population in the State of Maine and has the most doe permits allocated. Another viable use for the land is farming. The relatively flat terrain and evidence of old stone walls hints at the potential for this property to grow crops. Due to its expansive size, the choice areas can be cleared for agriculture and the remaining sections can be managed for timber and/or wildlife habitat. Finally, the property can be used as an exclusive home site. The access road is already gated. Power & phone can be brought in to a building site on a knoll at the edge of the field with a view of Devils Bog in the distance. This would truly be a secretive retreat for the “executive homesteader”. Price: $309,900.00 Additional photos
