Description
Legendary Bradford Camps, nestled in the serene North Maine Woods, stands out as one of the oldest and best-established sporting camps of Maine, with roots tracing back to the 1890s. After 29 years of successful ownership this remarkable property is on the market. Throughout its history, Bradford Camps has seen only five long-term owners, a testament to its successful operation and stability.
Munsungan Lake, a remote gem, boasts 1400 feet of pristine lakefront, while Norway Brook adds to the allure with an additional 1500 waterfront feet and a charming trail winding along its waterfalls. The property embodies rich sporting traditions and features eight historic waterfront guest log cabins, each equipped with a full bath, along with a welcoming lodge that houses a commercial-grade kitchen, dining room, and library. Here, guests are treated to hearty meals, often made from fresh vegetables harvested from the on-site garden. The three docks provide ample space for boats and float planes.
Fishing enthusiasts will find some of Maine's finest waters here, with opportunities to catch native salmon, wild lake trout, as well as wild brook trout in nearby ponds and streams. Trophies over four pounds are not uncommon. Additionally, the business offers two outpost cabins situated on remote Big Reed Pond, a northern Maine jewel. The largest old growth forest in New England, the Reed Pond Preserve is a unique travel destination. The pond boasts wild trophy blueback trout, a rare relic species of the arctic and found in only fourteen ponds in the lower 48.
The business is supported by dedicated local professional guides, specializing in fly fishing and trolling, big game and bird hunting, and assisting families seeking a memorable vacation experience. The cabins can accommodate a combined total of 24 guests, with additional staff cabins and necessary outbuildings for complete operation. Encompassing 18 leased acres, the property benefits from a stable lease contract with one of the largest land owners in Maine. Additionally, Bradford Camps enjoys a forever no-development easement on the shoreline of Munsungan Lake. The North Maine Woods covers over 3.5 million acres, making it one of the largest intact forests in the eastern United States, and Bradford Camps is centered in the region.
With a list of decades-long returning guests, Bradford Camps enjoys reliable occupancy without the need for marketing. The camp has garnered attention from notable publications, including Travel and Leisure, which named it among the five best all-inclusive resorts in Maine. An impressive 85% of guests are loyal return visitors, drawn to the unmatched outdoor adventures this hidden gem offers, while new visitors often learn about it through word of mouth.
