M4L19-1 Off Dixie Road Lubec, ME 04652

This 70 acre parcel for sale in coastal Washington County is unique - it is NOT in tree growth, therefore a new owner has many options for development or to keep it wild. The property is accessed by a private right of way which is limited to only a few people. Once heavily treed, the property was harvested a few years ago making it prime hunting grounds. There is a very high knoll on the property that would have distant views of the ocean. Lubec is a traditional fishing village and is the easternmost town in the United States. Formerly the home to a large sardine industry, the town now plays host to the Regional Medical Center as well as local fishermen and lobstermen. Lubec's downtown area boasts large homes built by sea captains
and industry leaders and quaint restaurants and shops. The public boat launch, Fisherman's Memorial Park, and the breakwater are all within walking distance from each other. Watch the
seals frolic in the tidal current, the fishermen as they head out for their daily catch, or just relax on one of the granite benches overlooking the waterfront.
Lubec, and its surrounding area, is also home to over 43,000 acres of public and preserved lands open to the public for hiking, biking, kayaking, canoeing, and other low impact recreational
activities. Nearby is the Downeast Sunrise Trails which is an 85-mile trail built along a former rail corridor from Washington Junction in Hancock to Ayers Junction in Pembroke. It has a compact gravel base and is ideal for snowmobiling, ATVing, walking, bicycling, cross-country skiing, and horseback riding.
Washington County is a lot of things. It is the most gorgeous, has the deepest cargo port, the longest coastline including the Bold Coast, the highest tides, and produces the most lobster and
clam landings. What Washington County does not have is lots of traffic lights (only three in the whole county), an interstate, a Red Lobster Restaurant, or poisonous snakes.
