Description

Have you ever dreamed of living on a Maine island? This solidly-built classic 3-bedroom cottage provides a perfect off-grid retreat. Boat-access only, via your mooring in Friendship Harbor to the private deep-water dock in front of home, two miles away. Panoramic bold ocean views across Muscongus Bay. Catch your own fish and lobsters in front of your home and grow vegetables in the backyard gardens. This off-grid island home retains its original 1940s appearance but has been upgraded with full insulation, septic, propane heating, on-demand hot water, a separate workshop, and a house-sized solar system (5 kW of panels, Sol-Ark, and lithium batteries with generator backup). A fieldstone chimney and soapstone woodstove provide cheer in the cool of shoulder season. Built above granite ledge, the home faces west and looks over the water's edge. Located on roadless Friendship Long Island, a historic Maine island that, over the centuries, featured farms, a grist mill, brick yard, lobster pound, granite quarry, and shops for building and repairing boats. In recent years, the island has returned to its wooded state with miles of foot paths, a 122-acre preserve, and a host of birds and other wildlife.
