13 Acres, frontage on both Ossipee Lake and the Bearcamp River!

This lot has SOLD!

If you are looking for that unique piece of land with ultimate privacy, look no further!

First of all, is a little history on this lot. Maxwell Foster donated the surrounding acreage to The New England Forestry Foundation (http://www.newenglandforestry.org) in 1977.  He kept the logging road down the center of the lot and acreage right in the middle with both lake and river frontage as his own private getaway.

The entrance to this lot and to the Bearcamp Woodlands, as the conservation lands are called, is at the intersection of Rt. 16 and the northern entrance to Jewell Hill Road in Ossipee. You can see the logging road running both from Route 16 and from Jewell Hill Road.  The lot itself starts about 50 feet in (there is a deeded right of way over that first 50 feet of town land).

This lot owns the 0.8 mile logging road to a width of 50 feet. It has not been used for much other than foot traffic for quite some time, so although I have had buyers drive 4WD vehicles out there, lets just say I would not take my car.  The logging road winds around and through some wetlands, and there have been deer, moose and bear sightings along the way. 

Eventually the logging road meets up with the Bearcamp River, and follows it for quite a ways. The river here, is wide with a beautiful sandy bottom, perfect for swimming! This lot owns a few hundred feet on both sides of the river. I can honestly say that I have never been on the opposite shore.  One would have to swim to get there and although I am a very hard working, dedicated real estate broker, this might not happen until the water warms up a bit! There is 3 acres on the other side of the Bearcamp River, and the town has it listed as an island as the river apparently runs on both sides of it at least part of the year.  Years ago there was a small cabin at the river`s edge, and you can still see the foundation where it used to stand.

Just past the river frontage, path leads onward to 50 feet of Ossipee Lake frontage. The lake here is marshy, so the river frontage might be better suited for a dock. Your river frontage is just around the corner from it`s entrance into Ossipee Lake.

Although this property will not support a traditional septic system, it would made an amazing family camping spot for generations to come, or they may be some septic alternatives available. You will never have a neighbor on this lot!
