58.61± Acres of Agricultural Heritage, Hayfields, Woodlands & Sopers Mill Brook Frontage – Auburn, Maine

Nearly 60 acres of Maine's agricultural heritage, featuring productive hayfields, extensive brook frontage, diverse farmland soils, and nearly a century of family ownership. Located on Sopers Mill Road in Auburn, this 58.61± acre property offers a rare opportunity for farming, homesteading, recreation, woodland management, and conservation with the convenience of being close to town. 

Historically part of the family's nearby dairy farm, the land provided pasture and rotational grazing for cattle, while the woodlands supplied firewood and timber for the farm. Today, approximately 10 acres of established Timothy grass and clover hayfields continue that agricultural tradition. The remaining acreage includes mixed woodlands, maintained trails, wildlife habitat, and more than 3,500 feet of frontage along Sopers Mill Brook. An old mill and blacksmith shop once stood along the brook, adding to the property's rich working-land history.

The property's agricultural soils are another valuable feature.
