This impressive parcel offers a rare opportunity in Bar Harbor to own one of the largest privately held parcels of land. Spanning 179.2 acres, this property is conveniently located mid-island, making it accessible yet secluded nestled within the embrace of nature. With five newly approved lots, there's flexibility for conservation, development, or creating a legacy property, offering options for a 'kingdom parcel' or a mix of all. The land is rich in wildlife and adjacent to Maine Coast Heritage Trust land, adding a level of privacy and natural beauty. Nature enthusiasts will find solace in the untouched wilderness, providing a canvas for birdwatching, photography, or simply unwinding amidst the whispers of the wind. Towering pines, sturdy oaks, and graceful maples populate the land, their branches intertwining to form a lush, green mosaic.
Fully surveyed, the property features 1,493 feet of road frontage, leading to a back elevation of 250 feet, which provides spectacular views and a sense of grandeur. Importantly, this land is not in tree growth, allowing full flexibility for future use without restrictions tied to tree growth status. This is the quintessential Maine landscape, with expansive forests, big-sky panoramas, and the opportunity to create a private haven. Perfect for those seeking a balance of convenience and a pristine natural setting for enjoyment today and preservation for the future. This parcel has several components already completed including wetland delineations, vernal pools, civil engineering, five approved lots with septic fields plans, and a new driveway initiated for access.
