34.59 Streaked Mountain Rd, Buckfield, ME 04220

Property Description

This 34.59-acre off-grid parcel on Streaked Mountain Road in Buckfield offers a rare chance to own a true piece of western Maine. The land is wooded and secluded, with plenty of space between you and your nearest neighbor, and it includes multiple gem mines right on the property. Western Maine is known for its tourmaline, quartz, and other mineral finds, so you can dig, prospect, and explore your own ground. Being off grid, it gives you the freedom to power and develop it your way, whether that means a solar-powered cabin, a homestead, a hunting camp, or a seasonal retreat. The outdoor recreation around this property is hard to beat. Streaked Mountain Trail is close by, a short but steep hike over granite ledges that rewards you with views of the Oxford Hills, the White Mountains, and the Presidential Range, plus wild blueberries in late summer. The Packard Trail on Sodom Road offers a moderate network of paths through forest and rock formations with access to South Pond. Local snowmobile and ATV trails, maintained by the Streaked Mountaineers Snowmobile Club, connect to neighboring towns, and the area is well regarded for deer and turkey hunting and for fishing on nearby lakes and streams. Within a day's drive you can reach the waterfalls of Grafton Notch State Park, the ski slopes of Sunday River, and other famous rockhounding sites like Mount Mica and Mount Apatite. Buckfield is a quiet Oxford County town, and you're still a reasonable drive from Lewiston and Auburn for groceries, supplies, and services. Whether you want a weekend escape or a place to build a life off the beaten path, this property offers the land, the privacy, and the gem mines to make it your own.
