Friendship - Beach Property For Sale #5164481

Don't miss this opportunity to escape the worries of the world to your own island sanctuary. This 3-season home is the perfect off-grid retreat with panoramic bold views across Muscongus Bay. Private deep-water dock. Catch fish and lobsters in front of your home and grow vegetables in the backyard gardens. This 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 with lithium batteries and 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 several 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 to explore, multiple beaches to comb, a 122-acre preserve, and a host of birds and other wildlife, all just minutes by private boat from Friendship Harbor.
