Historic Kingsbury Plantation: A Legacy of Natural Beauty
Kingsbury Plantation holds a rich history, dating back to its acquisition by Judge Sanford Kingsbury in 1833 as part of the Bingham Purchase. With its early development around Kingsbury Pond, including the establishment of two mills in 1835, this area quickly grew into a community. Today, the mills are gone and the Plantation is very quiet and peaceful with a population of only 28. Enjoy the rolling hills, surrounding mountains, numerous lakes, rivers, streams, and ponds of this scenic part of Maine.
A Closer Look at This Land
Spanning 309± acres, this property is a testament to the natural beauty of Maine. It encompasses 276± acres of forested land, 27± acres of ponds, wetlands, and streams, and 6± acres dedicated to roads.

Nearly 90% of the area is covered in hardwoods, with mixed wood and softwoods around the pond and its outlet, showcasing the diversity of this location.
The soil, as reported by NRCS, varies across the property, with well-drained areas on the upper ridges and somewhat poorly drained areas in the valleys. This mix supports a rich ecosystem, including red spruce, white spruce, balsam fir, yellow birch, paper birch, and red maple.
Central to the property is Little Pond, nearly 10 acres of high-quality wading bird habitat.
