Description
Take to the woods and experience a place unlike any other. Forest Lodge presents a rare opportunity to own property along Maine's legendary Rapid River, renowned for world-class fishing and its native brook trout and salmon waters. Miles off the beaten path and located beyond multiple gates, this remarkable retreat offers exceptional privacy, solitude, and a direct connection to the sporting heritage of western Maine.
Forest Lodge was the original homestead of celebrated Maine author Louise Dickinson Rich and the place where she wrote her books, including the beloved classic We Took to the Woods. Set near the historic Lower Dam site, the property is woven into the history of the river corridor, where generations of guides, anglers, writers, and outdoor enthusiasts have gathered.
The property is being sold with 3 living quarters, a barn, and 1 additional outbuildings, creating exciting possibilities for a private family compound, or preservation-minded restoration. Years of limited use means the buildings are ready for your vision (within historic guidelines), still has strong bones and timeless character of a classic Maine sporting camp.
Surrounded by conserved lands in an extraordinary setting that would be nearly impossible to recreate today, Forest Lodge is more than a waterfront property--it is an opportunity to become the next steward of a living piece of Maine history. Bring your vision and prepare for a lifestyle shaped by wild forests, rushing water, exceptional fishing, and true escape.
