Discover a rare opportunity at 1000 Grindstone Road in Grindstone, Maine--62± acres with approximately 7,000 feet of frontage on the legendary East Branch Penobscot River, including your own 11± acre private island. With more than a mile of cold, clear, free-flowing river and nearly 6,800± feet of road frontage, this property represents a truly scarce North Woods holding with exceptional recreational, conservation, and legacy value.
Located in Grindstone (AKA T1R7 WELS), an unorganized township with minimal population, the setting delivers authentic wilderness character while remaining accessible. East Millinocket is approximately 6 miles away for groceries and daily services, Millinocket and its regional hospital are about 15 miles, Bangor is roughly 66 miles (about one hour), Portland is under three hours, and Boston is within a half-day drive. Electricity is available roadside, offering practical development potential without sacrificing the remote feel buyers seek in northern Maine land.
The land features gently rolling elevations from approximately 250 to 270 feet above sea level, with soils identified as Colton and Redhook gravelly and sandy loams--well-suited for forestry, agricultural, recreation, and potential building sites. The expansive river frontage includes gravel bars, sweeping bends, and forested ridgelines that define the classic Maine North Woods landscape.
The included 11± acre island is an exceptionally rare feature in today's market--true private island ownership on a free-flowing North Woods river is nearly impossible to replicate. It provides unmatched seclusion, creating a once-in-a-generation opportunity to establish a legacy retreat, conservation holding, or exclusive recreational uses defined by water on all sides.
The East Branch is woven into Maine's logging and sporting history and is now prized for its wilderness fisheries and paddling.
