    What's special

    Wildlife galoreProtected tidal harborNonstop coastal postcard viewsMiles of well-maintained trailsNew hot water tank
    Your Own Private Acadia A Rare Waterfront Retreat on a Remote Maine Island (Served by the Maine State Ferry Service). Discover a one-of-a-kind coastal sanctuary with ~300 feet of prime waterfront at the head of a protected tidal harbor once the working waterfront home of a legendary Lunt lobstering family member. This newly refreshed 3-bedroom, 1-bath home preserves its classic 1970s charm while adding upgrades for comfort and reliability, including a new hot water tank and rebuilt central heat (oil-fired radiators). Waterfront & Harbor Features At low tide, the shoreline becomes a hard-packed clam flat; at high tide, you'll have 6 9 feet of navigable water accessible to lobster boats and perfect for launching kayaks or taking a refreshing harbor swim. The property includes: A 40' x 50' wharf (currently under repair) A historic bait house (formerly the first Frenchboro Museum ideal for artists workshop or sleep shed/cabin ) An additional outbuilding, a firepit, and extra parking at the water's edge * Deep water mooring arrangements available for Cruising Sailors needing a home-base strategically located between Casco Bay and Nova Scotia Home Layout & Living Spaces The main living area living room, dining room, and kitchen faces the harbor, delivering nonstop coastal, postcard views. Off the kitchen, a harbor-view deck leads to the driveway with additional off-street parking. Along the back of the home are: 3 comfortable bedrooms A full bath with shower/tub Washer/dryer area (located in middle bedroom) * Office Desk, monitor, printer/scanner and internet in middle room as well. The basement offers a woodstove, ample recreation space (unfinished), and a tool/workbench area. Land, Trails & "Private Acadia" Feel The backyard slopes upward into terraced, forested lookouts perfect for kid camping, hammock spots, or morning coffee above the harbor. Surrounding the property are multiple entrances to the island's preserve, creating a private-park feel with miles of well-maintained trails leading to: Jaw-dropping ocean bluffs Rock beaches and coves Blueberry fields Moss-covered forest shires Wildlife galore (but notably no bears, no snakes, no raccoons, and no people around) You'll look out onto a postcard-perfect New England fishing village church, parsonage, school, museum, and the always-open library yet still feel like you have an entire national-park-level landscape to yourself. Utilities & Condition Well water: tested Septic: inspected and approved Heating system: rebuilt Hot water: new tank This is more than a house it's an unforgettable experience. A rugged, exhilarating, unbelievably peaceful coastal world all your own with the convenience of the Maine State Ferry Service. Terms and advisories apply. Terms and advisories apply
