Property Description
The Birch Stream Forest tract of timberland spans three towns. Located on the Southgate Road in Old Town the contiguous parcel consists of 655 acres in Old Town, 408 acres in Argyle Township and finally 59 acres in the town of Alton. The property is enrolled in Maine's tree growth program as it largely consists of wooded acreage that has been used for pulp wood production over the years. The large tract of land has had approximately 80 acres cleared with the intent to convert the wooded acreage to farm field to produce hay. The conversion was not finished, but a lot of the heavy lifting has been done which has left a clean slate for your vision. The cleared acreage could be made into pastureland, a Christmas tree farm, orchard, or a sustainable farm property. The possibilities for this tract are many.
The tract is in the greater Bangor Maine region. This area has a combined population of about 152,000 people. Bangor being the center of the region with a thriving business district that includes world class healthcare, fine dining, retail and manufacturing. University campuses are in Bangor at Husson University, as well as in Orono where the flagship campus of the University of Maine system is located. The property is on the edge of this area in a rural section of Old Town.
