SOLD | Lakefront Off Grid Cabin | Maine Real Estate

SOLD Why buy this off grid lakefront cabin in the Maine Woods? Is your mind ready for a wilderness setting 40+ miles from the nearest shopping center? Are you looking for dark skies at night with an uninhibited view of the galaxy? Step back in time and enjoy the simplicity of lakeside recreation at this off grid lakefront cabin, located on a wilderness lake in Aroostook County, Maine.
The cabin was built pre 1970 with some updates and improvements over the years. The 21’ X 28’ foot print includes the main cabin, the lakeside covered porch and a wood shed/ utility area. This cabin sets about 50 feet from the lakeshore. The building is set on concrete and wood blocks. It is finished on the exterior with cedar shingles. The heat source for the cabin is a wood stove. Lighting, cooking and refrigeration are all LP gas. This is as simple as cabin life can be.
Currently the cabin owner is leasing the land from a local land company. The lease can be transferred to a new owner, or the land company will sell the 1.72± acres with 205± feet of lake frontage. The list price includes the purchase of the land. The land is heavily wooded, and the cabin is surrounded by 100+ year old white pines that provide both shade and privacy.
The land and cabin are located on Wytopitlock Lake in Glenwood, Maine. The lake is 1,152± acres with a maximum depth of 24 feet. The fishing in this lake is primarily warm water species with the occasional wild brook trout. The relatively shallow shore line has a pebble bottom and is a good spot for swimming. This lake has very little developed shoreline and gets very little boat traffic. A boat landing is located on the southern shore of the lake a couple miles from the cabin.
Glenwood is a remote township in south eastern Aroostook County. The last census showed a population of 3. Most of the township is managed forestland owned by just a few landowners. These owners have thus far allowed the public recreational use of their lands.
If you are ready to get away from the crowd call today for more information or to schedule a showing.

That little wood stove would keep that tiny cabin so warm, you'd have to open a window even with no insulation. Cut down a few trees for some solar panels and a garden, drill a well...it really could be a great place!

Thanks for sharing Sally.

[@abetterlife3088]

Wow! Many negative comments. If you don’t like it, move on! Just a quick note, myself an 6 buddies paid $20k a piece for a similar property with no plumbing, electric but a great wood stove. We use it primarily for hunting and religiously,we use it for about 4 to 5 weeks a year. Occasionally, families will go up for a week or two. We all love the time away and it being rustic but more than comfortable. Thanks. Oh by the way, we have had the property for now about 10 plus years and today not one of us is from Maine.

I do not know how cold the winter in Maine can be, but with no insulation in this cabin, it will be very hard to stay during winter time. For the price of $50k, I believe you can build a much better one than the current one except as you said the value is it must closer to the water.

Winter would be rough. Looks like not a stitch of insulation.

[@LaLadybug2011]

Obviously there are too many people here with no imagination and who have NEVER watched an episode of "This Ild House!" All of the "tear it down" comments-ridiculous! You have a new roof, just add insulation. Put in a water catchment system. Buy a Berkey and drink the lake water! Put in a pump and use the lake water for showering in a small bathroom put in the lean to area. A composting toilet like Nature's Head would be perfect. Add a few solar panels for lights, fans. Y'all don't need A/C in Maine summers so you? Too bad I am creative, with great imagination to see potential yet don't have the money to leave my home state. Still have to work for a living. Beautiful property and easy enough to rent a dozer for a weekend and put in a 300' driveway. If I could just win the lottery.... I could live here almost year round except the very coldest months. Have to head back to Louisiana during the winter. Cool place-I love your channel. You are so kind to rude people...I would swear you were born in the Deep South-true gentleman!

Any homeowners financing?? Does the land that comes with the deal reach the road you park on? In other words could I cut some trees down to make a wise enough area to get either small pick-up truck or snowmobile down to reach the cabin? Love your channel my friend.. Jim Gibbs New Hampshire USA

[@lifestyleproperties]

Yes the land does go to the road and you could construct a driveway. The land owner would consider financing but not the cabin owner.

[@lifestyleproperties]

1.7 +/- acres

[@wdwilson397]

So if I bought the land for 50k why would I buy the cabin? How much for land and cabin? This cabin doesn't seem worth twice the land cost?

[@lifestyleproperties]

You can't buy the land without the cabin. The price for the package is $100,000, that inlcudes the land.

[@taterkaze9428]

Another trap listing. "The building is set on concrete and wood blocks" ie no foundation, but the claimed value is $50k. Also, no indoor plumbing and the owner doesn't own the land. Is the soil too rocky for septic? Was a perk test performed? Are there wells in the area? How deep and what do they cost? 50 years ago the builder must have thought that the tree in front wouldn't grow to nearly touch the structure. Good plan. This is a land sale with a teardown and an overpriced one at that. $25k/acre for remote land that (can't?) be developed makes no sense.

Road is needed and new construction tho off grid but still needs new house. Can it be done ?

[@lifestyleproperties]

Yes it needs a short driveway installed and a new cabin or home could be added. The existing cabin would need to be converted to a bunkhouse or other assessory structure to meet LUPC rules.

[@69Muscle]

$100,000? For that? Ridiculous. $10,000 tops and thats generous. That cabin is a nightmare. I’d raze it and build new.

OK. Who needs a driveway anyway? Where do the current owners park? I’m guessing a propane vendor either fills or swaps the bottles? I’m from Maine and I love Maine. I have watched many of your videos with an eye toward moving back. If I may offer a suggestion, especially when you wander off grid, please whip out the cellphone and report the signal quality. Send a photo to your brother and have him send one back, for instance. Plenty of opportunities for humor and mischief there.

This will not be selling unless someone lost their mind. I can see that for the land, but that cabin isn't worth 100k. Maybe 20 and that is being nice. It needs to be torn down and a livable place put on that amazing land. The land owner has something. The cabin owner has lost his mind or the realtor who priced it this high. Edit I see it was 100k total. I'm in at 70k lol. I could work with that but it is a lot of work and additions added on to make it a home.

[@lifestyleproperties]

The fact that you can modify this cabin in its current location is value added. New construction will need to be setback 100 feet from the lake. That is why grandfathered properties sell for a premium. Thanks for the comments and watching our videos.
