Description

The subject property consists of approximately ±34.12 acres of mixed-use development land located along U.S. Route 1 in Rockport, Maine. The offering includes two contiguous parcels: a ±3-acre front parcel (Lot 137) with approximately 250 feet of direct frontage on Route 1, and a ±31.12-acre rear parcel (Lot 141) providing substantial scale for future development.

The front parcel is improved with an existing commercial pad and a paved entrance directly off Route 1, offering immediate access and usability. This portion of the property provides strong visibility and exposure along a primary regional corridor, making it well-suited for commercial, retail, medical, or professional office use. Existing on-site electric service further enhances the immediate development potential of the frontage.

The rear parcel extends over 2,000 feet from the road, forming a large, contiguous block of land that is well-suited for a variety of development configurations. The size and layout of this acreage allow for flexible site planning, including internal road networks, phased development, and clustered or large-scale project design.

Access to the rear acreage is provided by two separate 50-foot-wide right-of-way corridors. One provides direct access from the front parcel, while the second provides an additional point of access from Route 1 via an abutting property. This dual-access configuration supports improved traffic flow, emergency access, and increased flexibility in site design and permitting.

Public infrastructure is available at the street, including public water and sewer, significantly reducing development complexity and cost. Combined with existing electric service on site, the property offers a strong foundation for both commercial and residential development.

The site is generally level and heavily wooded, allowing developers the flexibility to selectively clear and design the property to suit a wide range of uses. Based on available information, the land is considered buildable, subject to standard due diligence and permitting requirements.

Zoned within the Mixed Use District (907), the property supports a broad range of permitted uses, including commercial, residential, multi-family, professional, medical, and service-oriented development. This zoning flexibility allows for multiple development paths, including single-use or integrated mixed-use projects.

The overall configuration of the property creates a natural development dynamic, with commercial frontage along Route 1 and expansive acreage behind it. This layout is well-suited for projects that benefit from both visibility and scale, such as mixed-use developments, multi-family communities with commercial amenities, commercial pad expansion, or campus-style developments incorporating multiple uses.

With existing site improvements, available utilities, dual access, and significant contiguous acreage, the property represents a highly functional and adaptable development site within a supply-constrained Midcoast Maine market.
