Madawaska, 130 & 133 Aspen Rd

360 views in Madawaska! ±215 acres with 2 cabins!

Come for the 360-degree views and stay for the lifestyle! This is the first time this generational property with 215 acres has come on the market since the late 1800s. With two cabins, views of mountains, fields, Long Lake, over 100 acres of fields, 80+ acres of timberland, a farm pond, and an interior road system, the property has something for everyone!
Located at 133 Aspen Road, the fully insulated Amish cabin was installed in 2021 at the highest point of the fields, offering magnificent views. With a new dirt road, well, septic system, wood stove, kitchen, bathroom area, solar panels/batteries, and generator, the cabin offers all the creature comfort amenities. Currently used as a summer retreat, it could be winterized for year-round use. With power at the town-maintained paved road, new owners could also build a larger residence.
Historically used as potato fields, most of the fields are now hayed by a local farmer yielding 340+ round bales per season. Other fields are left to grow wild blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries, as well as old homestead apple trees. They typically harvests 130+ pounds of blueberries per season for their use while inviting neighbors to also harvest for personal use.
Across Aspen Road is the second parcel featuring a hand-dug farm pond, garage with 50 power amp, a camper gravel pad, the historic “Rustic Red Cabin,” and 80+ acres of timberland enrolled in the Tree Growth Tax Program. 130 Aspen Road was once the site of the old farmstead, and School House #10 was built in 1929 to educate the owner’s children and neighbors. The one-room schoolhouse was in use until 1938, and the site is commemorated with a plaque and the refurbished well pump. The garage was added in 1925 to accommodate the first car owned by the family, and later, the farm pond was created. Approximately 2.3 acres in size, the pond is fed by a natural stream with the deepest depth of 18 feet, and it could readily be stocked.
Sitting up on a hill overlooking the pond is the “Rustic Red Cabin,” lovingly built in 1973 by the past generation. Living up to the rustic name, this off-grid cabin has a bedroom, living room, galley kitchen, and bathroom with a toilet, sink, and shower. The well, water tank and heater, septic system, and generator system have not been used in a few years, and the current owners have little knowledge about their current state. The cabin itself is in solid shape and is ready to be restored.
This versatile 215 acres and two cabins offer something for everyone. Homesteaders could easily convert it back to a working farm, while ATV/Snowmobilers will enjoy the ITS-81 trail system, which abuts the property. You can enjoy the miles of maintained trails right from the cabin. If more living space is needed, there is power on the road so that a new home can be built. Or just sit on the porch of the Amish cabin, relax, and enjoy the amazing views.
The property is GPS-friendly. 130 Aspen Rd has a motorhome, garage, and pond near the road. From US-1, turn onto Beaulieu Rd/Cove Rd (near the St. David Post Office) and continue for 2.7 miles. Take a right onto Aspen Rd. The property will be 1.3 miles with the pond on your right. This is the best place to meet. NOTE: You can drive by the pond area, but do not proceed up the dirt roads to cabins without a realtor and appointment.
