BETHEL — Bahre Station LLC of Oxford has purchased the so-called “snowman lot” at Bethel Station, according to Realtor Tony Donovan of KW Commercial of Portland.
The principal of Bahre Station is Gary Bahre, Donovan said Monday. The deal was closed Feb. 22, he said.
“Their intended use has not been clarified,” Donovan said. “There were some environmental issues at the location, formerly operated and owned by the town, where gasoline was pumped for municipal use. It was minor, in the larger scheme of things, and was cleaned as per state environmental regulations in January by the previous owner.”
The 3.2-acre property was sold for $365,000, he said.
It’s the lot where Angus, King of the Mountain, was built in 1999 in an effort to boost tourism. The giant snowman was named after former Gov. Angus King and stood 113 feet, 7 inches, tall. It was certified as the world’s tallest snowman by the Guinness Book of World Records
Donovan said there are three site-developed lots remaining for sale in the Bethel Station development:
* Parcel I, the 7-plus-acre property at Route 26 and Parkway;
* Parcel A, often referred to as the motel lot, a 2.7-acre site next to the Norway Savings Bank building; and
* Parcel D, a 2.7-acre paved lot next to the Gem Theater, which allows for theater parking and potential development.
