LAND FEATURES The property is surrounded by conservation lands, including the 12,000-acre Cutler Coast Ecological Reserve to the south and west. This public reserve land extends from Route 1 in Whiting to the bold coast in Cutler. Known for its miles of coastal trails along the dramatic cliffs bordering the Atlantic Ocean, the land is also open to hunting, fishing, and other outdoor pursuits. More than 300 acres of The Maine Coast Heritage Trust lands border the property to the east and south. Directly across Route 1 from the land the MCHT Rocky Lake Preserve has over 3,000 acres with nearly 6 miles of protected lake frontage on Rocky and Orange Lake. This preserve offers hunting, fishing, paddling, hiking trails, and camping sites. All this surrounding land makes the property feel much larger than its 94± acres. The land boasts approximately 450 feet of frontage along Route 1, complete with access to electricity and communication infrastructure roadside. A driveway entrance has been started. A highlight of the land is a scenic beaver pond and the brook flowing out of it, adding to its natural appeal.
