PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
A private family compound with two soils tested buildable sites cut in at minimal scope to enable viewing, allowing the new owners to choose which trees to take as they plan their homes.
Entry is via a ¼ mile private road, passing the developer / owner’s residence, then over a brand new charming bridge, designed to be reminiscent of the bridges of Acadia National Park.
Kings Timber Way represents a unique opportunity for private living in deep woods while being only minutes from all conveniences. This very special land includes the headwaters of the Little River, known to contain trout in previous years.
Two residential lots, both with stream frontage and fabulous potential solar exposure depending on the buyer’s preferences for clearing trees. This land has been used for timber growth since it was owned by the King of England, who took mast logs from it. (Mast Landing is nearby which is where those trees were hauled).
Deer, fox, rabbits and turkeys abound. Owls, Hummingbirds, Chickadees and Robins all call this place home.
A lovely 6,000 ft Barn Style home with antique barn frame is located at the entry to the property. A first option on this home is available as well as the two lots.
When we return home, we feel a world away from the daily grind. Driving in on a snowy evening has had us think of Robert Frost’s famous poem Stopping by the woods on a snowy evening. This can nearly be your reality living here, except YOU will not be in the village, you will be in the quiet as Frost describes so well:
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
We welcome your inquiry:
