Enjoy the uninterrupted peacefulness of nature less than 10 miles from the charming town of Skowhegan, Maine. Just upstream from Lake George, this breathtaking 14.2-acre property consists largely of forested wetlands (freshwater) – the perfect outdoor escape for those who enjoy hunting, fishing, and exploration. In addition, the Western portion of the property features a variety of lush trees that provide shade and protection from the elements during the warm months and beautiful foliage in the fall.
