PRIVACY-over 230 acres of varied terrain typical of the Maine woods including 1,200 feet of shoreline on the Tilden Pond. There is no public access to the 350 acre Tilden Pond. The Woods are separated by the babbling Alder Brook which splits the entire property and flows in the pond. You can practice the ancient Japanese art of forest bathing (Shinrin yoku), and enjoy foraging for the many wild blueberries, rasberries, blackberries and huge variety of mushrooms and other edible plants. The Woods are an amazing place for families and friends to de-stress, boost mental health and improve overall well-being naturally. Free use of kayak and portable dock, free firewood and hygienic welcome package. All forms of Maine wildlife and fauna abound here including moose, deer, beaver, eagles, owls, turkey, grouse, loons, ducks, geese, and more. Great spot for nature lovers of all types. Possible activities include foraging, forest bathing, hiking, fishing, boating, birdwatching, and wildlife viewing. Watch the long-term bald eagle residents dive for fish in the pond or the loons paddling around with their entire family. Tilden Pond hosts an incredible small mouth bass fishery. Foraging is encouraged as a way to connect to nature. Make your own sumac, sarsaparilla or pine needle tea. The Woods are close to popular Mid-coast towns like Camden, Rockport and Rockland with all of their amenities while enjoying life in this off-grid all natural and relaxing setting. Scenic 1 hour drive to Acadia National Park.Set up camp in the PRIVATE 230 acres of lush woods of Maine for a few nights or more! Stay in a new 10ft by 14ft cabin and sleep up on the loft or anywhere else that looks good to you. An air mattress works great, but a sleeping bag or futon would work just as well. Foraging is encouraged-lots of wild blueberries, raspberries and blackberries. Make sumac, sasparilla, or pine needle tea. Enjoy the peaceful surroundings (take in a midnight barred-owl party) and explore the woods and nature including 2 man made 1800´s era structures along the brook, or watch the beavers working on their lodge. For city life, take a 15 minute drive into the nearby town of Belfast. A scenic 1 hour drive can take you to Acadia National Park. The property features easy access to 1200 feet of shoreline on the PRIVATE Tilden Pond, complete with a pier and kayak for your use and an amazing smallmouth bass fishery. Just drive or walk the trail you used to drive in and hike the last yards (keep left) to the shoreline. Once at the cabin, the nearest neighbors are about 1 mile away. Two firepits with free firewood, a privacy tent with pit latrine, other amenities and a free hygene pack await you.
