Devil's Head Conservation Land abuts this large 10+- undeveloped acres just 10 minutes from Calais, Maine on Rt. 1, North. Comprising old growth forest, wetland habitat and a meandering brook, this parcel is nicely suited for naturalists who want to steward their own private wildlife sanctuary yet be close to a border town that has everything you need. The westerly boundary runs alongside Rt. 1 where the terrain is steep , allowing for some water views of the wetland habitat, until you meet level, high ground, which would be the location to construct a cabin or wildlife retreat. A driveway could easily link the land from Rt. 1, like many others do along this vast, coastal, highway. Once onto the property, you'll step into a wetland habitat replete with native waterfowl, such as woodcock, eagles and woodpeckers, and mammals such as beaver and fox. You might get a glimpse of moose as they feed off of the grasses that grow in these environments.
