Byron - Pleasant Mountain Tract
Oxford County, ME
Property Description
This ±383 acre parcel’s highest point of 2,280’ in the northwestern portion of the lot, flanks the 2,325’ Pleasant Mountain peak just north of the subject lot. The lowest point at 1,100’ is along the eastern boundary line and just east of an unnamed intermittent brook that flows to the Swift River. Spectacular views from this rugged mountain lot just minutes from Coos Canyon. Views of Saddleback to the north, Tumbledown & Little Jackson Mountains in the Tumbledown Mountain Maine Public Reserve Lands to the west, Old Turk immediately to the south and Black Mountain & Whitecap further to the south. Local attractions, such as Coos Canyon on the Swift River is a 500-yard gorge known for gold panning.
Further up Route 17 heading towards Rangeley is a location known as The Height of Land where the Appalachian Trail crosses and extensive views of the White Mountains and Rangeley area can be seen. Also, not too far north is the remote Angel Falls. This is one of the largest drops in Maine at 90 feet! A series of cascade follows the falls making for breathtaking scenery. Access to this property is gained from two different Right of Ways (ROW) off Easter Hill Road/Garland Pond Road from Route 17 just north of Coos Canyon and the village of Byron. One ROW, around 1.9 miles from Route 17 on the north side of Easter Hill Road, follows logging roads for approximately 3 miles to the extreme northern portion of the lot passing over Pleasant Mountain. The second, more convenient ROW is located just 0.7 miles from Route 17 on the north side of Easter Hill Road and crosses abutting landowner for approximately 850’ to the southern boundary line. This ROW continues onto the subject property. Both ROW’s are for Forestry/land management purposes only. The lot is in Maine’s current use tax program call Tree Growth allowing for tax break and barring development. Taxes are estimated to be around $1,400. This lot has been recently harvested in the last 5 years leaving behind young stands of vigorous hardwood and mixed wood growth. Sections along the unnamed brook and other areas contain some mature growth. It will be several years before another harvest can take place.
Property Location
From the Route 2/17 intersection in Mexico, travel north on Route 17 for just over 14 miles. Take Easter Hill/Garland Pond road, just after Coos Canyon, on the left and go approximately 1.9 miles to the access right of way on the right. From there go around 850’ to the southern boundary line.
