Surrounded by Conservation Land

Great Brook Preserve is Passionate about the Environment... What makes Great Brook Preserve a truly unique and nature friendly property is the rare move to put conservation and the environment before development. Less than ten percent of the property - or only 6% of the original 8,700 acres of land - will be utilized for private development uses, the overwhelming majority of the land will be preserved in perpetuity for both private and public use. Each homesite at Great Brook Preserve directly borders hundreds of acres of unspoiled conservation land. Owners have direct access to miles of hiking, snowmobiling, and cross-country ski trails just out their back door. The remaining acreage has been donated to the Western Maine Mountains Foundation land trust for permanent preservation. Great Brook Preserve is purpose-built for year-round outdoor enthusiasts and places a high value on saving the forests and mountain landscape that make the region so special. Trails directly from the preserved land meander through the woods to the nearby Grafton Loop Trail, which connects to the Appalachian Trail.

Governor Baldacci affirmed that “this is exactly the type of land development that the state of Maine needs. It is great to see that hundreds of acres of land have been donated for preservation in perpetuity.”

Great Brook Preserve has donated hundreds of acres to the Conservation Land Trust. The land has been deeded to the Western Maine Charitable Foundation and plays a very important role in a large scale conservation effort in the state of Maine. 

Dave Verani of LandSource, LLC says that “this is about delivering on a project that we can be proud of for many generations.  In the land development world you can leave your mark in many different ways. We feel that Great Brook Preserve is an example of the right way. We are very proud of what this represents for the state of Maine, our customers and for our legacy as a company.”  Mr. Verani adds “We are talking about a premium land donation with land that could have been very marketable with incredible views of the Mahoosuc Mountain Range, Sunday River Ski Resort, streams and waterfalls that will be accessible as great hiking, cross country skiing, snowmobile and fishing venue.
