Property Description
Wesley off-grid chalet on 10 acres. This well-constructed chalet-style home offers all the amenities you could want while in a remote setting: hickory cabinets, 2 bedrooms plus a loft area, radiant heat with wood backup, and plenty of privacy. Large covered porches, a small private pond, and outbuildings make this property suitable as a year-round homestead or a prized weekend getaway. Located in the town of Wesley (population ~130), about a half-hour drive from Machias, 30 miles from Calais and the St. Stephen, NB border crossing, and about 1.5 hours to Bangor. Just over 300 miles to Boston. Close enough to be a weekend getaway but far enough to offer a lot of privacy. Otter Lake has a public access lot at #510 and the public lot on Long Lake is #112, which has a nice spot to put in a boat. Both lakes offer good fishing, and the area is popular for hunting with guide services in the subdivision. Great area for ATVing, snowmobiling, and year-round outdoor activities. Wesley is close to Machias and the coast, with easy travel to Roque Bluffs State Park and its long sand beach, nearby freshwater ponds, Fort O'Brien State Park, and Jasper Beach. Machias is the county seat and offers local historic sites and attractions, including Burnham Tavern.
