Norridgewock, ME 04957 - Somerset County

RECENT PRICE IMPROVEMENT from $299,900 down to $199,900!

This 75+/- acre multiple-use, off-grid parcel contains a professional sand pit with an evaluation determining that it contains almost 300,000 cubic yards of sand material. The areas of exposed sand give one a unique feeling of being on a beach or a desert. The sand has commercial value.

For recreational use, the sandpit area would make an interesting ATV/dirt bike course or target shooting area. This lot borders the abandoned Maine Central RR track that is now owned by the State and is used for ATV, snowmobiling, and general recreation. For hunters, wildlife tracks were seen in the sand with signs of a variety of species including deer and turkey. With over a mile of frontage on the Martin Stream which flows year-round, fishing is another recreational opportunity. Flowing from the south, Martin Streams is the eastern boundary of the Fairfield section, then it travels through Norridgewock and eventually forms the western and northern boundary in Norridgewock. The ruins of the old bridge that crosses Martin Stream are impressive. The lot also offers some nice westerly and eastly views. The lot was recently harvested. The Old Schoolhouse Road is the historical access and is not maintained by the town. There is a small portion of the property in Fairfield.

Taxes for the total of 75 acres, determined from a professional survey sketch, are only $150. The tax acres for Norridgewock are listed at 72 acres and is enrolled in Maine’s Tree Growth Tax Law Program. The 5+/- tax acres in Fairfield are not in the Tree Growth Tax program.
