Development opportunities this close to Sunday River are exceptionally rare. Offering approximately 19 acres in one of Western Maine's premier recreational locations, this property is just minutes from Sunday River Ski Resort and offers an exciting opportunity for developers, investors, or those looking to create a private mountain retreat. With frontage on both the Sunday River and Barkers Brook, the property combines natural beauty, water frontage, and significant development potential. The parcel is located within Newry's General Development District (GDD), providing flexibility for a variety of potential future uses, subject to applicable town approvals and permitting.

Whether the vision is a private mountain estate, thoughtfully planned residential development, vacation accommodations, or another permitted use, this property offers an exceptional combination of location, acreage, river frontage, and opportunity.
