265 Sopers Mill RoadAuburn, ME 04210Price: $375,000

Nearly 60 acres of Maine's agricultural heritage! Located on Sopers Mill Road in Auburn, this 58.61± acre property offers hayfields, extensive brook frontage, mixed woodlands, and opportunities for farming, homesteading, recreation, and conservation-all close to town. Held by the same family for nearly a century, the property once supported their nearby dairy farm with pasture and rotational cattle grazing, while its woods supplied firewood and timber. Today, approximately 10 acres of established Timothy grass and clover hayfields carry on that tradition. The remaining land features mixed forest, maintained trails, wildlife habitat, and more than 3,500 feet of frontage on Sopers Mill Brook. An old mill and blacksmith shop once stood along the brook, adding to the property's working-land history. Agricultural soils are another asset. A USDA-NRCS Farmland Classification Report identifies approximately 3 acres of prime farmland soils, 3.6 acres of statewide importance, and nearly 24 acres of local importance within the mapped area. Interested in a Maine homestead? The property offers potential for a home with room for gardens, livestock, hay production, and other agricultural pursuits. With approximately 1,000 feet of frontage on paved Sopers Mill Road and electricity available at the road, the property offers convenient access for agricultural activities and potential development. It lies in Auburn's Agriculture and Resource Protection District; residential development and other uses are subject to zoning requirements and municipal approvals. Enjoy a rural setting with convenient access to Auburn and Lewiston, and Portland less than an hour away. Whether expanding a farm, pursuing a homestead, or conserving a traditional Maine landscape, this property offers a chance to continue nearly a century of family stewardship.
