Property Description
Your very own oceanfront island with an adorable cottage in Maine! Serenity Island is a beautifully wooded island, surrounded by stunning pink-granite shoreline, and featuring a charming, well-kept, off-the-grid vacation cottage. The island boasts .8 acres of high-elevation land (no flood zone!) perched over the waters of Back Bay. Enjoy amazing sunsets, easy shore access, and dramatic ocean views with nearby islands, eagles, seals, a variety of shorebirds, lobster boats, and sailboats. This is privacy and nature at their best!
The furnished 640sf raised-pier cottage, built in 1996, comes completely turnkey and offers one-bedroom, kitchen with gas range (refrigerator can be added), dining area, large living space with a cozy wood stove, and living room extension with daybed. Sliding glass doors open to an elevated deck - perfect for grilling or relaxing and with gorgeous ocean views. There's a bathroom with a composting toilet and sink, and a private outdoor shower (existing bathroom can be expanded to include indoor shower).
The cottage is wired for electricity throughout (operated by gas generator). It also has propane for appliances and gaslights if desired, and features an on-demand hot/cold water system run from a cistern.
Located just 200 feet from Rays Point Peninsula, access the island with your own boat, either from the public marina in Milbridge or the nearby Wallace Cove public boat ramp. You can also easily walk across to the island at low tide. Cellular and internet solutions are prevalent in the area.
Serenity island offers an idyllic setting, yet it's just 10 minutes from the quaint, oceanfront village of Milbridge with its parks, grocery store, pharmacy, banks, medical center, small restaurants, and performing arts center. Just 30 minutes to Schoodic Point in Acadia National Park / 1 hour to Campobello Island in Canada, Quoddy Head Lighthouse, and Bar Harbor in the MDI section of Acadia National Park / 1.5 hours to Bangor Int'l Airport.
