20 Acres and House Vinalhaven Island, Maine This Vinalhaven property is 19.94 acres, with a private driveway going to the secluded house site. The house is nestled deep in the pine, spruce and hardwood woods. The house is unfinished, needed much work to complete. But it has a solid frame, roof and foundation (concrete post on bedrock). Although weathered, as seen in the pictures, the sheathing is intact. It would need siding, better windows, flooring, and interior sheetrock. A new owner would probably want to re-insulate, and possibly upgrade or add to the plumbing and electric. This is the estate of my mother, who bought the property in the 1980's, and began building the house in the late 1990's. She never completed the house, which leaves potential equity for a motivated do-it-yourselfer. For the value of the land alone, a buyer would have a good start on a great summer or retirement home. The house has about 1,100 square feet of living area, with another 800 square feet of basement/workshop area. It has a septic, and hot and cold running water from a well. The power was professionally run to the house, with proper telephone poles. The building is at a nice high place on the property, giving lots of sunlight all day, and a great views of the surrounding property from all sides. The ferry ride to and from Rockland, Maine, is about an hour and twenty minutes. But the island itself is mostly self-sufficient, with a supermarket, restaurants, hardware stores and lumberyards, and health care and fire-fighting services. The rugged beauty of the island, harbor and coastline is reason alone to live here, but the wonderful people and community spirit are still another.
