Robbins family selling 1,380 acres of forest land in Montville

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • June 23, 2026

The family that owns Robbins Lumber is selling forestland in Montville a little over month after a fiery explosion at the company’s mill in Searsmont. The Robbins family is selling 1,380 acres of forest for $2.6 million. The land — which the family has owned for about 30 years — includes 2 miles of waterfront along a pond and bog, a small cabin, an operational sugar house and an active gravel pit. The timber on the property — named the Robbins Family Forest — is valued at $1.2 million, according to LandVest, which is selling the property. About 93% of the land is “commercially operable for forest management activities.” Robbins Lumber has been selling pine since 1881, and the company now owns and manages 30,000 acres of forest.
