Enjoy the spectacular western mountain views from this private ±73-acre retreat off High Street in Peru. Perched at roughly 1,000 feet in elevation, the property features a recently built 12' x 17' off-grid cabin with kitchen, bath, and woodstove, plus an 8½' x 25' storage shed. An improved driveway leads to the buildings. A dug well—ten feet below grade with four well tiles—gravity feeds water to the cabin. The 1,000-gallon concrete holding tank is town-approved, with a septic design on file. An electric hot-water heater runs off a portable generator, and power is nearby. The town-maintained road ends about 250 feet from the property line. Enjoy the tiny house OR build a year-round retreat! Elevations range from ~700 feet along the western boundary to 1,300 feet in the northeast corner. Recent timber harvesting opened dramatic views of both nearby and distant peaks, including Mount Zircon (2,222'), Speckled Mountain, Spruce Mountain, Saddleback (4,116'), Jackson Mountain, Mount Reddington, and Old Speck. Snowmobile and ATV trails cross the property, offering direct access for outdoor enthusiasts. Old logging roads and a seasonal stream provide additional opportunities for exploring, hunting, or hiking. Conveniently located just 10 minutes from Dixfield, with Sunday River, Mt. Abram, Norway, Auburn, and Rumford/Black Mountain Ski Area all within a 20- to 50-minute drive. Worthley Pond and the Androscoggin River are minutes away with public boat launches, and popular hiking destinations such as Black Mountain, Bald Mountain, and Mount Zircon are nearby. Property is not enrolled in Maine's Tree Growth Tax Program, though enrollment could significantly reduce taxes. Note: Town records list 51 acres; however, boundary evidence and a forester's review indicate the acreage is consistent with the advertised ±73 acres. The property comprises two tax lots.
