Just two minutes outside the coastal communities of Newcastle and Damariscotta and yet a world away is 78 Castlewood Rd. It is a nicely wooded 5.3 acre lot located within the established Castlewood Subdivision just off the River Road. Recent owner improvements include a driveway ready for top finish, a level clearing for construction and septic plan. Power is available at the end of the driveway. Gentle grade and several hundred feet of stone walls add natural views and area landscaping opportunities. It's terrain provides ample light year round and cool breezes. Privacy abounds. The towns of Wiscasset and Boothbay are only minutes away. The surrounding area is home to a variety of world class oysters, pubs & restaurants, community events and two popular land conservation areas: Dodge Point Preserve and Baker Forest. Each contain walking trails that allow dogs. See attached . Mid-Coast ME is a wonderful destination and 78 Castlewood is well worth exploring for a future home build.
