244 S Main Street, Whitneyville, ME, 04654 | $125,000

Set on 45 surveyed acres in the historic village of Whitneyville, this unfinished cabin offers both wild Maine character and practical potential. The 604 sq. ft. structure, built with a durable metal roof and siding (one side awaiting completion), features an open floor plan with kitchen, living room, and mudroom, plus a sleeping loft above. The bathroom is partially finished and includes a soaking tub, while current facilities consist of a composting toilet in a nearby privy. A full septic design for a two-bedroom system is already on file, giving buyers a clear path for future installation.

The cabin is partially wired and has been used with a generator, though utility power is readily available at the paved road only a few hundred feet away. A drilled well provides water, and the forested acreage—spruce, fir, hardwoods, and more—offers privacy, wildlife, and natural beauty. A 100-yard shooting range is already in place, and the land lends itself to hunting, hiking, homesteading, or simply exploring your own corner of Maine. Deer, moose, and countless bird species are seen in the area, making it a retreat for sportsmen and nature lovers alike.

Despite the sense of seclusion, the property is just minutes from the services of Machias and within easy reach of the Maine coast. Roque Bluffs State Park—one of Downeast Maine's most popular destinations—is nearby, where a sandy ocean beach meets a freshwater pond, offering swimming, kayaking, picnicking, and year-round recreation. Here you'll find solitude, dark skies, and the feel of being off the beaten path, yet remain close to both town conveniences and the bold coast of Maine.

Whether envisioned as a hunting camp, homestead, or woodland getaway, this property combines the peace of the forest with coastal proximity and the groundwork already in place for a future home.
