200 Acres - Milford, Maine
Bordering Sunkhaze Meadows National Wildlife Refuge | $250,000
This remarkable 200-acre parcel at the end of Call Road in Milford, Maine, is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for conservationists, nature lovers, or anyone seeking true peace and privacy. Bordered on three sides—over 1.5 miles—by the protected lands of Sunkhaze Meadows National Wildlife Refuge, this secluded property offers unmatched natural beauty, ecological richness, and a strong sense of solitude. The lot includes over half a mile of frontage on Sunkhaze Stream, as well as nearly full ownership of Sherwood Pond—only the southernmost tip belongs to the refuge.
The land is a diverse mix of landscapes. To the north, the silver maple floodplain forest along Sunkhaze Stream is a rare ecosystem type in Maine. Moving south, the terrain rises to an upland ridge with picturesque views over Sherwood Pond. Scattered throughout the property are meadows, a rare unpatterned fen ecosystem, native cranberry bogs, a mix of hardwood and softwood stands, and a network of internal trails suitable for walking, ATVs, or 4WD vehicles. Wildlife is abundant—whitetail deer, black bear, and the occasional moose call this area home. Birdwatchers will delight in sightings of bald eagles, ospreys, hawks, turkey vultures, blue herons, American bitterns, and a wide array of warblers. The federally endangered black tern has also been documented in the area.
The lot offers multiple ideal locations for a secluded home or camp, with several soils already tested and deemed suitable for building. The property is enrolled in Maine's Tree Growth Tax Program, helping to keep property taxes low while allowing for sustainable forest management. Whether your vision is a seasonal camp, a year-round home, or a long-term conservation holding, this land is ready to accommodate your dreams. Recreational opportunities abound—fish for bass in Sherwood Pond or trout in the stream, forage for cranberries an
