About This Home

Set on 32.69A± acres in the quiet rural town of Mattawamkeag, this unique off-grid property at 873 Main Street offers privacy, flexibility, and room to grow. The property features a 240 sq ft tiny home with drilled well, 2-bedroom septic system, and a separate utility building housing the off-grid power system. The cabin is open concept with a sleeping area, dining space, small kitchen, and full bath with stand-up shower. Kitchen amenities include a full-size gas range, built-in microwave, and small refrigerator. Hot water is supplied by an on-demand propane water heater. The off-grid system includes approximately 1,000 watts of solar panels, a Magnum 120/240V inverter, 24V battery bank, and a large Kohler propane generator. The batteries currently need replacement due to neglect, offering the next owner an opportunity to upgrade the system to modern battery technology. Utility power is available nearby along the road, making future grid connection a straightforward option if desired. The land slopes gently away from the road toward the back of the property and was commercially harvested around 2014. The regenerating mixed woods provide an attractive setting, wildlife habitat, and recreational enjoyment. Two existing Alaskan slabs on site were intended for additional tiny homes, creating future potential for guest cabins, rental units, or expanded living space. Ideal as a homestead, hunting camp, recreational getaway, or minimalist year-round residence, this property combines modern conveniences with the independence of off-grid living. Conveniently located with access to outdoor recreation, ATV and snowmobile trails, rivers, lakes, and the Maine woods lifestyle buyers are seeking.
