Tunk Lake Road , Gouldsboro, ME 04607(Hancock County)

The terrain is mostly flat to gently sloping, and soils consist primarily of glacial outwash, well-drained in most productive areas and suitable for year-round forestry operations. These soil conditions are also well-suited to supporting the spruce/fir and pine species that thrive here. A recent timber inventory indicates approximately 276 non-productive acres; the majority of these acres exist as forested wetland.

While the timber represents a majority of the forests primary value, the favorable coastal location and easy access offers recreational uses and some limited residential development potential at the propertys western end near Route 183. The recreational aspect is enhanced by the state-owned Sunrise Trail that bisects the property and the 1,575 of frontage on Morancy Meadow Pond that is remotely located in the extreme southwest corner.

The forest has been professionally managed for over a half century with clear, long-term silvicultural objectives focused on the growth of the pine and spruce/fir resource. The careful harvesting has encouraged an abundant future crop of desirable species and a favorable age distribution, so the forest is now poised for steady appreciation over the coming ownership cycle. Property-wide, the Capital Timber Value (CTV) is calculated to be $1,893,000 ($498/total acre).
