Property Description
Wesley off-grid chalet on 10 acres. This well-constructed chalet-style home offers all the amenities you could want in a remote setting: hickory cabinets, 2 bedrooms plus a loft, radiant heat with wood backup, large covered porches, a small private pond, and outbuildings. The property works as a year-round homestead or a 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. 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 have good fishing, and the area is popular for hunting with guide services nearby. Great area for ATVing, snowmobiling, and outdoor activities year-round. Close enough to Machias and the coast for public beaches at Roque Bluffs State Park and freshwater pond across the road from the ocean. Machiasport has Fort O'Brien State Park and Jasper Beach. Machias is the county seat with significant local history; the first battle of the American Revolution was there. Burnham Tavern on Colonial Way in Machias is a local historic site.
