Off-Grid Post and Beam Cabin on 8.6 Acres in the North Maine Woods – A True Wilderness Retreat

Description:
Nestled deep in the heart of the north Maine woods, this rare property offers the perfect combination of seclusion, natural beauty, and outdoor adventure. Located just 1.4 miles in off Shin Pond Road, this off-grid post and beam cabin sits on an 8’6″ poured foundation, offering an authentic wilderness experience while still being within reach of modern conveniences. This property is a true gem for those seeking privacy and tranquility in a pristine natural environment.

In addition to the cozy cabin, there is a 40′ x 60′ three-level shop built on tapered concrete piers, with a dirt floor and endless possibilities for storage, projects, or even a workshop. A drilled well provides fresh water to the property, though the sewage system is a greywater setup with a privy, typical for off-grid living.

With 500 feet of frontage on Ackley Brook on both the East and West sides (a total of 1,000 feet), you’ll enjoy the serenity and natural beauty of flowing water right at your doorstep. The surrounding land is a mix of softwoods, poplar, and hardwood, and has not been cut in over 40 years, which is increasingly rare to find. The forested lot is bordered by another 400+ acres of similar land, offering even more privacy and opportunities to explore.

For winter enthusiasts, the Ackley Pond Rd. is groomed as an ITS Trail and is located within 2 miles of the trail hub in Shin Pond Village. In the warmer months, the road serves as a multi-use trail for ATVs and passenger vehicles. The Ackley Brook is perfect for canoeing or kayaking, offering an amazing opportunity to paddle through the peaceful deadwater while observing the abundant wildlife native to Maine.

This unique property offers unmatched privacy, a serene natural setting, and endless outdoor recreation opportunities. Whether you’re looking for a private hunting and fishing retreat, an ATV paradise, or a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, this is the place for you. And with the town of Patten just 12 miles away, you have access to full services whenever needed.
