DESCRIPTIONThis large contiguous parcel situated in a prime location for timber markets offers an outstanding and unique timberland investment opportunity.
Land OverviewThe Reed Forest has a long history of management for commercial timber production and boasts over 30,300 prime forested acres. A conservation easement on the property protects from over-development and allows for continued conservative forest management for years to come. The Reed Forest is well-situated to take advantage of multiple forest products markets in the U.S. and Canada, and its prime location in Maine’s Wildlife Management District 11 also offers countless recreational pursuits.
A well-stocked and diverse array of forest types on the property present multiple timber harvesting, hunting, and wildlife opportunities, while several gravel pits support continued road building and maintenance activities. Frontage on the Mattawamkeag River and Wytopitlock Stream afford easy access for fishing. Additionally, The Reed Forest features desirable ecological values such as Silver Maple floodplains and Brook Floater habitat.

Location & AccessThe Reed Forest is located in one of the superior regions in Maine for commercial timber markets. U.S. Route 2A, on which The Reed Forest has miles of frontage, is a significant corridor for the transportation of forest products within Maine and to Canadian markets. This region is also prized for abundant recreational opportunities, and The Reed Forest is one of the best examples. The property is located within a half-day’s drive of Bangor International Airport (BGR) and Portland International Jetport (PWM) and within a day’s drive of several large urban centers such as Boston, New York City, Montreal and Quebec City.
The property is accessed by virtue of public road frontage on multiple public roads, including U.S. Route 2A and State Route 171. An extensive interior forest management road network provides access to all corners for efficient timber harvesting. The Baskahegan Road and the Mann Road, both significant private forest management roads, cross the property and help connect the interior road network with public roads.
TimberWith over 560,000 cords of merchantable timber across its forested acres, The Reed Forest is a well-established commercial forestland tract with an abundant timber resource. A long history of intensive silviculture leaves behind a well-stocked forest with nearly 18.5 cords of merchantable timber per forested acre. The property is certified to the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC-C001535) and the Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (NSF-SFI-FM-C0144679) standards. The timber inventory is dominated by spruce and fir species, with over 29% of the total sawlog volume being spruce and another 14% fir. Good quality cedar, white pine, hemlock and various hardwood species such as yellow birch and sugar maple round out the sawlog volume.
The diameter distribution of the timber inventory reveals younger stocking with high potential for immediate and rapid growth, particularly in the numerous plantations and acres that have been pre-commercially thinned across the property. The conservation easement protecting the property specifies a minimum average stocking, and the existing inventory exceeds the minimum with room to spare. Additionally, the conservation easement allows for the property to be divided into a maximum of three parcels provided that each resulting parcel is at least 2,475 acres. With miles of private forest management roads, a rich network of highly skilled local logging and transportation contractors, and a history of sustainable harvests, The Reed Forest is poised to provide a high performing investment for the long-term investor.
Stand and stock tables generated from a Summer 2021 timber inventory will be available upon request.
