Located in scenic Downeast Maine and largely surrounded by conservation lands, this 2, 041-acre± tract of unencumbered forestland offers numerous natural capital investment drivers. Forest management, conservation, water quality, riparian ecology, wildlife habitat, and recreation are all part of the equation. The terrain is generally level and rolling, with a couple of small hills, one of which provides view-shed opportunities overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Collectively there are approximately three miles of frontage along the meandering headwaters of Huntley Creek, Spring Brook, and Eastern and Western Marsh Brooks which empty into Holmes Bay and Little Machias Bay. These are spring-fed waters with native brook trout, and a multitude of wetland birds and mammals. The property has good access with extensive frontage along a state-maintained highway, as well as a network of internal gravel roads. Based on a recently completed timber inventory, the forest is stocked with merchantable timber of varying ages, providing both near and long-term harvesting and forest management opportunities. Large, unencumbered forestland parcels such as Huntley Creek Forest with a diversity of ecological attributes and a robust timber resource are hard to find in Maine. This may just be the natural capital investment opportunity that you have been waiting for.
