Osgood Farm

Descriptions

Osgood Farm is a multi-use recreational property with a mix of fields and forest, an operational gravel pit, and a year-round residence. The property is approximately 75 miles north of Bangor, Maine. There is frontage on two paved, town-maintained roads. Internal access to the property is well developed and consists of forest management roads, farm roads, and maintained trails.

Osgood Farm includes approximately 75 acres of productive farmland and 505 acres of timberland. The farmland portion of the property has been used primarily for hay production, although local farmers have leased portions of the fields for higher value crops. The owner reports that there have been no recent herbicide or pesticide applications and much of the farmland may be suitable for organic classification. A selective harvest was completed over most of the property in the winter of 2014-2015 to leave a well-stocked residual timber resource, heavy to spruce-fir and northern hardwoods. The remaining resource is estimated to retain 10-12 cords of merchantable timber per operable acre. The property includes an active gravel pit of about 2-3 acres.

The topography of the property is gently rolling with a large knoll in the center of the section north of Molly Osgood Road. From here, views of Mt. Katahdin are possible on clear days. Other scenic vistas can be enjoyed throughout the property. A small pond just east of the residence adds to the scenic appeal. The property has excellent hunting potential, with numerous maintained trails throughout the property, large fields, and a diverse forest resource.

The year-round house is a New England cape style in excellent condition. It is about 1,500 square feet, with 3 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom. The kitchen was recently updated with beadboard cabinets and ceiling, stamped tin backsplash and modern countertops. The home is in excellent condition, is heated by a wood furnace, and is situated on a full foundation. Attached to the house are a back deck and a garage.
