There is no house on this parcel in Lowell, Maine. What you get instead is 230.9 surveyed acres, a gravel pull-off, mixed woods, and more than 2,100 feet of owned frontage on the Passadumkeag River. The land is off-grid. Power is not at the lot. That is the point for buyers who want quiet, water, and room to hunt or camp without neighbors close by.
A gravel opening leads from the access into mixed pine, spruce, and hardwoods under a clear blue sky.
The asking price is $149,000 after several cuts from the original $189,000 list. Taxes were about $500 in 2025. Possible owner financing is noted in the remarks. You can check the full pricing history and listing details in the source link below the photos.
Access, Opening, and First Impressions
Whitetail Way sits about two miles off pavement. Parking is gravel, on site, with room for five to ten vehicles. A former wood yard leaves a cleared patch near the road. That opening can hold a camper now. Later it can become a field or a camp site.
The lot rolls rather than sitting flat. Mixed forest covers most of the acreage. Spruce and fir stand tight in places. Hardwoods flash red and gold in early fall. Dead standing trees and downed limbs mark older cuts. The ground underfoot is needles, moss, and dry grass.
A maple in full red leaf stands at the edge of the woods beside a sandy track and younger evergreens.
Curb appeal here is the tree line and the sky. Views are listed as scenic woods. From the air the parcel reads as one green block among many, broken by wet meadows and a thin ribbon of water.
Woods, Light, and How the Land Flows
Walk in from the gravel and the canopy closes. Light drops to a green filter. Some stands are healthy and thick. Others show thin trunks and open understory where older timber was taken. That mix gives you both cover for wildlife and spots you can clear without starting from scratch.
Two tall trunks rise through mixed spruce and hardwoods, with autumn color and needle-covered ground below.
A dense wall of young spruce and fir fills the frame, with a few red leaves at the edges.
Pale standing trunks and downed limbs mark a thinner section of forest where older growth has opened the floor.
There is no open-concept floor plan because there is no floor. The “rooms” are the wood yard, the higher ground, the wet meadow, and the riverbank. Soil tests are available for a future septic. Water would be private, likely a well once you pick a building site.
Take a look at the aerial shots below, and find the complete photo gallery linked at the end of this tour. The drone frames show how the parcel sits in a much larger forest that runs to distant hills.
River Frontage and Wet Ground
Owned frontage on the Passadumkeag River is the feature that sets this tract apart. Listings cite about 2,127 to 2,270 feet. The water winds through marsh grass and low shrubs. Beaver work and seasonal flooding shape the meadow. From above you can see the dark channel and small open pools.
A narrow stream cuts through a yellow-green wet meadow, with mixed forest rising on both sides.
Fall color breaks the green canopy around wetlands and a faint watercourse that threads the property.
Wider aerial view shows forest, marsh, and small open water stretching toward the horizon under a clear sky.
Fishing, paddling, and wildlife watching start at the bank. The river also feeds a larger system that runs toward the Penobscot. Outdoor living space on this lot is the water and the woods, not a deck. Bring waders and a canoe more than patio furniture.
Recreation and Four-Season Use
The lot sits on the ATV trail system. Snowmobile trails are close. Hunting, hiking, and birdwatching are the daily uses most buyers will plan. A campfire at the old wood yard is an easy first project. A cabin or off-grid home can come later on higher, drier ground.
Prime location in this market means river frontage plus trail access, not a short walk to coffee. Lowell has fewer than 400 residents. Lincoln is about 20 minutes away for groceries, fuel, and hardware. That is the trade: quiet acres now, a short drive when you need town.
What Is Not Here, and What That Means
There is no electric service. There is no sewer. There is no house, kitchen, or primary suite. Zoning is “see town,” so confirm shoreland rules before you plan a structure near the river. A survey is already done, which saves a first cost many raw parcels still carry.
Former wood yards give you a head start on openings. Rolling slope offers drainage options for a camp. Mixed forest means firewood on site and cover for deer. The real estate market for large waterfront tracts in this part of Penobscot County is thin. Parcels this size with owned river frontage do not turn over every season.
From above, unbroken forest rolls to low hills, with only small color breaks in the canopy.

Lowell, Lincoln, and Daily Life
Lowell is rural Penobscot County. Schools and most services sit in nearby towns. Buyers who work remote or visit on weekends will treat Lincoln as the supply base. Winter access depends on how you keep the last two miles. Summer access is simpler on gravel.
Neighbors are distant. The view is trees and sky. If you want a turnkey home, this listing is the wrong file. If you want land you can shape, the inventory of 230 acres with river frontage is short. Full specs and the remaining photos wait at the bottom of this tour.
Why the Acreage Matters
Two hundred thirty acres changes how you use a weekend. You can hunt without crossing a posted line. You can park a camper out of sight of the road. You can pick a building site after walking the ground in more than one season. The river gives a second focus when the woods feel closed in.
Price per acre at the current ask is roughly $645. That number will move with timber value, access work, and what a buyer is willing to spend on a well and septic. Possible owner financing may help if a bank wants more improvements than the land now holds.
This 230.9-acre tract in Lowell, Maine, is surveyed, waterfront, and off-grid. The opening by the road is ready for a first camp. The river runs for more than two thousand feet along the line. The rest is woods, wet meadow, and time. Walk it before the leaves drop, and decide if the work matches the quiet you want.
