Penobscot River Land for Sale

Land Description

We know that good land for building on a river is hard to find. We just found the perfect lot at 11 Gardner Lane in Howland with 2.31 +/- surveyed acres and more than 300 feet of deep-water frontage.

The lot is a level 2.31+/- acres with 312 +/- feet of frontage on the Penobscot River. Large trees cover the property and provide shade and privacy year-round with the majority being softwoods of hemlock, spruce, balsam fir and white pine. The land is very gently sloped almost flat and level. Developing this property for a home, cabin or RV site will be easier than any lot we have seen recently.

The land is located on a private gravel road less than mile from the town plowed and paved road. Living here year-round should be no problem. There is grid electric power road side and one or two poles will get you to your choice building spot on the land unless you choose to go underground.

This parcel is located on the main stem of the Penobscot River the longest river in Maine. The Penobscot forms from pristine waters in the north woods of the state with the north south east and west branches merging and finally coming together as one large river in Medway. From there it flows to Howland and the property we have for sale. The property is located just above a hydro dam and typically enjoys a more consistent water level than other parts of the river. This is great boating and some of the finest smallmouth bass fishing you will find in this country.

The village of Howland is an island surrounded by the Piscataquis and Penobscot Rivers and the connector stream of Merrill Brook.
