This 35-acre parcel in Raymond offers an excellent opportunity in one of Maine's most desirable regions. Located less than 45 minutes from Portland and close to Sebago Lake, Naples, and Windham, the property features about 230 feet of frontage on Webbs Mills Road (Route 85). The land is diverse, with stone walls, mature timber, ledge outcrops, and elevations reaching 600 feet that provide distant scenic views. Wildlife is abundant, adding to the natural appeal.
The lot lies in Raymond's Rural District, where permitted uses include, but not limited to, single-family homes, bed-and-breakfasts, mobile/manufactured homes (with guidelines), and timber harvesting. The 35 acres are being divided from a larger 55-acre tract, with the final boundary to be set by survey or agreement. There is also potential to purchase an additional 20 adjacent acres with power, a gravel driveway, and an outbuildingpricing for that portion to be determined.
With its combination of location, natural beauty, and development potential, this property is well worth exploring.
The very nearby Bri-Mar Trail is a moderate, family-friendly hike up Rattlesnake Mountain. The trail has short, rocky stretches but rewards hikers with two ledges offering scenic views of nearby lakes. Parking is limited and dogs are not allowed since the trail crosses private property. It's considered a worthwhile hike with a solid workout and excellent vistas.
Crescent Lake, located nearby, is praised for its clear, clean waters, abundant wildlife, and peaceful settings. It is 703 acres in size with a maximum depth of 54'. There is a public boat landing and beach. Visitors enjoy kayaking, boating, and exploring its connection to Panther Pond, which adds variety to paddling routes and wildlife viewing. Paddling from Crescent Lake to Panther Pond offers a quiet, scenic route perfect for kayaks, canoes, or SUPs. The waters are calm, lightly trafficked, and known for great fishing. Along the shoreline, it's common to spot herons, loons, and ducks, adding to the peaceful experience.
