Property Description
For Sale of For Lease: Steeped in Oxford County history, this rare 22.5 acre commercial/industrial parcel was once home to the Paris Manufacturing Company, iconic producers of Maine-made sleds and snowshoes. The factory is gone, but the infrastructure that remains is extraordinary. The property features direct rail access and a landing along its entire length via the St. Lawrence & Atlantic Railroad, 1,800± feet of road frontage on Oxford Street, on-site gravel pits, 3-phase power, and an existing block/brick building adjacent to the tracks. The deed includes a right-of-way to a natural spring, though the seller will retain personal spring rights. Dormant since 1996 and most recently leased as a prospective solar farm site, this property is primed for its next chapter. Ideal uses include lumber or wood products operations, building materials suppliers, recycling or scrap operations, heavy equipment dealers, large-scale campground development, or any manufacturing business that benefits from live rail freight connectivity. The combination of road frontage, rail access, gravel resources, and 3-phase power is nearly impossible to replicate in rural Maine. The seller is a licensed Maine real estate broker and will entertain seller financing options, subject to attorney review. For sale, for lease, or both - bring your vision.
