Nestled on the south west border of Piscataquis County, this 309± acre timberland tract surrounding Little Pond presents an opportunity to own a piece of Maine waterfront wilderness. With year-round access via a county-maintained road, this land offers both seclusion and accessibility, making it a perfect Maine retreat.
Historic Kingsbury Plantation: A Legacy of Natural Beauty
Kingsbury Plantation holds a rich history, dating back to its acquisition by Judge Sanford Kingsbury in 1833 as part of the Bingham Purchase. With its early development around Kingsbury Pond, including the establishment of two mills in 1835, this area quickly grew into a community. Today, the mills are gone and the Plantation is very quiet and peaceful with a population of only 28. Enjoy the rolling hills, surrounding mountains, numerous lakes, rivers, streams, and ponds of this scenic part of Maine.
A Closer Look at This Land
Spanning 309± acres, this property is a testament to the natural beauty of Maine. It encompasses 276± acres of forested land, 27± acres of ponds, wetlands, and streams, and 6± acres dedicated to roads. The terrain is a blend of rolling land with elevations ranging from 900 to 1,160 feet above sea level. Nearly 90% of the area is covered in hardwoods, with mixed wood and softwoods around the pond and its outlet, showcasing the diversity of this location.
The soil, as reported by NRCS, varies across the property, with well-drained areas on the upper ridges and somewhat poorly drained areas in the valleys. This mix supports a rich ecosystem, including red spruce, white spruce, balsam fir, yellow birch, paper birch, and red maple.
Central to the property is Little Pond, nearly 10 acres of high-quality wading bird habitat. It's an area designated for resource protection, ensuring the preservation of its natural beauty and wildlife, including ducks, geese, moose, deer, beaver, otter, and other water loving animals. With building setbacks required to be 250 feet, any development will maintain the integrity of this pristine environment.
The outlet of Little Pond flows north though the property on the way to its confluence with Kingsbury Stream. This riparian feature with plunge pools and live water, is most likely rearing waters for the trout living in Kingsbury Stream. It may be your perfect place to construct a backwoods log cabin to enjoy the sight and sounds of flowing waters.

The occupation of the area actually dates waaay farther back than just the 18th century settlers.
Excavation sites and surface finds have located lithic (stone ages) artifacts, cairns and other materials attributed to indigenous communities from 7,000 BP to the 1700’s. That’s nearly 10,000 years ago, crazy to imagine living here then!
There’s also theories about pre 16th century contact with the original people of now Maine by sea going Irish monks, Vikings, the Norse and Orkney & Basque fishermen.
The first accepted foreign explorer to make landfall in Gulf of Maine was Verazzano (1524) but his stalled at the mouth of the Kennebec. But we didn’t even learn about him in school either 😑

Not sure why but the audio on this is so bad I can't hear (Muffled not muted). I checked another video and it works fine on my end 😅. Either way beautiful property!
Also, i am curious if Canada's wildfire problems have impacted piscataquis.
Not this year
Fire is better most specifically where it applies to ticks
Very nice property…

You’re welcome
Could you dam the pond?
The Beavers got that done already. 👍
@@justinlaflamme426yes they did
@@justinlaflamme426 Lol I was going to say that!
Not without permission from the state. That water could be a tributary to somewhere else
@@justakidonhismomsprofile thank you for an actual response. I figured there could be some legality to it but was curious about specifics
