Unique 21.3 acre private mountainside lot with views of Sunday River Ski area and Howard Pond. A home site could be created by building about 450’ of road to an open area with amazing westerly views of the distant mountains. Power poles are along Howard Pond Road. Only 15 minutes to Sunday River for world-class skiing and golf. Public hand-carry boat launch on Howard Pond is two minutes away, and Androscoggin River is only 5 minutes away. Howard Pond is stocked with brook trout and salmon, is 109 acres in size, and is an amazing 118-foot deep pond. Howard Pond Road is a dead-end road, creating a private area mostly associated with the pond. It is a unique area. An outdoor enthusiast location with Grafton Notch State Park nearby, Black Mountain Ski area in Rumford, the remote town of Andover, and, of course, Bethel and Sunday River. The owner has established a trail system that traverses through the property with points of interest along the way. There is a small intermittent stream crossing with a small waterfall, an exposed ledge site with an established fire pit/camping/picnic area with log benches and views, and a supposed early American artifact site that is believed to be a small stone cooking oven. Several other interesting features can be found on this property. The Woodman’s trail that has been established for generations originates from the Howard Pond Road near the hand carry boat launch, and the dam makes its way to the southern boundary line of the subject property, just crossing over and eventually to an outstanding vista at about 1,380’ in elevation. The subject property has an elevation of approximately 1,200’ near Jewett Way on the west boundary and an elevation of around 1,500’ at the easternmost point. Taxes for 2023 were $1,184.
