845+ Commercial St - 34+ Acres - Zoned 907 Commercial / Business 34.12 Acres of Commercial Land Offered at $5,839,400 CAD in Rockport, ME 04856

This offering presents a rare opportunity to acquire ±34.12 acres of mixed-use development land along U.S. Route 1 in Rockport, Maine, one of the Midcoast region’s primary commercial and commuter corridors. The property is comprised of two contiguous parcels: a ±3-acre front parcel (Lot 137) with approximately 250 feet of direct Route 1 frontage, and a ±31.12-acre rear parcel (Lot 141) providing substantial scale for development.
The front parcel offers strong visibility and exposure to consistent daily traffic, making it well-suited for commercial uses such as retail, medical, professional office, or service-based businesses. This frontage can serve as both a stand-alone commercial opportunity or as the anchor component of a larger, integrated development.
Behind the frontage, the property expands into a large, contiguous block of land extending over 2,000 feet in depth. This rear acreage provides significant flexibility for a variety of development strategies, including residential, multi-family, commercial expansion, or a hybrid mixed-use concept.
The property benefits from dual access points via two 50-foot-wide right-of-way corridors, enhancing site circulation, development flexibility, and the potential for increased density. This dual-access configuration is a key advantage for larger-scale planning and phased development.
Zoned Mixed Use District (907), the property supports a wide range of permitted uses, including commercial, residential, multi-family, professional, medical, and hospitality-related development. This zoning flexibility allows developers to tailor a project to current and future market demand without being constrained to a single use type.
Public water and sewer are available at Route 1, providing a critical infrastructure advantage and reducing the need for extensive off-site utility investment. The site is generally level, heavily wooded, and considered buildable based on available information, offering a strong foundation for site planning and development.
The property’s configuration and scale support multiple viable development strategies, including:
• Mixed-use development integrating commercial frontage with residential or multi-family expansion
• Commercial pad development through internal road infrastructure, allowing for 14–20 potential pad sites
• Residential or multi-family development within the rear acreage, with the potential for approximately 80–140+ units (subject to approvals)
• Hybrid campus-style development incorporating medical, professional, residential, or institutional uses
• Phased development, subdivision, or partial disposition over time
The Rockport, Camden, and Rockland corridor represents one of Maine’s most desirable coastal markets, characterized by strong property values, limited available development land, and continued demand for both housing and commercial services. The area also benefits from seasonal population increases, further supporting long-term development viability.
Opportunities of this scale, with direct Route 1 frontage, available utilities, flexible zoning, and dual access, are extremely limited within the Midcoast region. The property should be viewed as a development platform capable of supporting a range of high-value outcomes rather than a single-use land offering.
The property is offered at $4,300,000. Pricing reflects the intrinsic value of the Route 1 frontage, the scale and usability of the rear acreage, and the overall development potential of the site. Final valuation will ultimately be driven by a purchaser’s development strategy, engineering approach, and execution plan.
Prospective buyers are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence regarding zoning, site engineering, utilities, environmental conditions, and development feasibility.
