Property Description
Classic Downeast coastal Maine property with over 2,000' of tidal shore front along Hardscrabble River. Hardscrabble River flows into Denny's River and eventually Cobscook Bay where some of the highest tides in the world can be experienced at an average height of 18-20 feet and as much as 30 during extreme weather and Spring tides. There is also approximately 1,200' of public road frontage on Ox Cove Road. Rocky knolls, rolling topography and some steep descents all lead to the amazing tidal shore frontage. There is a small cove and point that add to the diversity and beauty. It appears the shore frontage is considered Tidal Waterfowl and Wading Bird Habitat according to a Maine DEP map. There are two abandoned small buildings approximately 8'x8' and 10'x14' right along the river's edge and at the northwest and southeast corners of the lot. There are old trails that lead to these abandoned structures. The town will need to be contacted to determine if these sites are grandfathered to build on. The total acreage is currently in Tree Growth Tax status. Most of this lot was harvested in 2014 except for the 250' within the Shoreland zone along the Hardscrabble River. There are no brooks or wetlands on the property. There are some very nice distant views from the high points on the property. Power at the road. There were numerous signs of white tail deer. Local attractions nearby include Cobscook Bay State Park that allows access to Denny's & Whiting Bays which eventually lead to Cobscook Bay and the Bay of Fundy and the Atlantic Ocean. Also nearby are Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge, Reversing Falls Park, freshwater lakes, and several public boat launches. The quaint coastal/international towns of Eastport & Lubec are close by as is the Campobello Island, Canada. Enjoy the first place the sun rises in the United States. Taxes to be determined since this lot is considered part of a larger parcel.
