About this property

Rarely does a property offer the flexibility to become either a private waterfront retreat or Belfast's next signature residential development project. Encompassing approximately 5 acres within the sought after Belle Point neighborhood, this unique parcel combines privacy, natural beauty, and development potential in one of Midcoast Maine's most desirable communities. Surrounded by mature trees and overlooking a Mill Pond with connections to Penobscot Bay, the property offers a setting that feels secluded while remaining just minutes from downtown Belfast's restaurants, waterfront, and harbor walk! For those dreaming of building a one of a kind coastal Maine residence, the land provides an extraordinary opportunity to create a private estate surrounded by nature, water, and abundant wildlife. The ducks, birds, and and sea-life abound between the bay and the pond. A custom home can be thoughtfully positioned to capture water views, walking trails winding through the property, and the peace of owning one of Belfast's most distinctive homesites. For builders, investors, and developers, the property presents an equally compelling opportunity. Public water, public sewer, underground utilities, and Belfast's density allowances create the potential for a variety of residential concepts, including condominiums, duplexes, townhomes, cottage style communities, workforce housing, or other creative development visions, subject to municipal approvals. Properties offering this combination of acreage, underground utilities, waterfront setting, privacy, and development flexibility are increasingly difficult to find in Belfast or along the coast. Whether your vision is a legacy home or an investment for a fine residential development that helps meet the growing demand for housing in Midcoast Maine, Lot 1 Belle Point offers a rare opportunity to bring that vision to life.
