Six beautiful acres of rarely available land on a desirable Maine island. For sale by owner.
From the North Shore Road down to 220 feet of pristine and private beach on Penobscot Bay, facing the Camden Hills. Sunset views from North to South. Fields, forest, and a quiet paradise.
$1.2 million. The deed for the property for sale will specify a buildable area for one house. The deed will also specify access to the beach using a narrow easement across the adjacent property.
The six acres for sale may also be purchased with ownership of the beach (price to be determined), in which case an easement would provide access to the beach for one adjacent property.

The property runs approximately 1000 feet from the town road down to the water. From about 130 feet of frontage on the town road, the plot widens gradually and then narrows to about 200 feet above the high tide line at the beach. A professional survey and soil testing were completed in 2002. The first 900 feet or so of the property is a gently sloping blend of field and forest with an old stone wall running parallel to the bay. An apple orchard surprises walkers through the woods and feeds the deer in the fall. Although the land drops off to the waterfront, there is an existing path and set of steps making it easy to access the beach. There is a small “fishhouse” above the beach with a woodburning stove that has been used as a sauna. The beach itself, which is mostly small pebbles, lies at the center of a broad quiet cove open to the northwest. The water off the beach is quite deep, even at low tide. Setting a mooring for summer use along this shore is possible, and the property owner enjoys riparian rights to do so.
