286 Upper Hostile Valley RoadLiberty, ME 04949Price: $129,900

Discover a unique opportunity to own 318 feet of pristine frontage on the Upper Sheepscot River, nestled in the peaceful and highly sought-after Midcoast region of 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. The property is beautifully lined with mature native trees and blooming perennials, offering a serene natural setting. With a southern exposure, it is perfectly positioned for an off-grid camp. 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. Whether you're building a home, seeking a nature retreat, or investing in a piece of preserved Maine wilderness, this riverfront gem is a rare find.
