A Rare Slice of Maine Paradise - Private Island on Millinocket Lake
Discover a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a half-acre private island on the pristine waters of Millinocket Lake, featuring a charming two-bedroom cabin, a small secluded beach area, and unmatched, panoramic views of Mount Katahdin—Maine's tallest and most iconic peak.
This historic island served as part of the support grounds for the nearby Frederic Church parcel, ''Rhodora'', and carries with it a quiet legacy that echoes the spirit of Maine's rugged beauty and artistic heritage. Perfectly situated just a short boat ride from the mainland, you're conveniently close to NEOC (New England Outdoor Center) and a variety of popular local restaurants and outfitters, giving you the ideal balance of privacy and accessibility.
The rustic cabin offers the essentials for lakeside living, with unspoiled natural surroundings, crystal-clear water for swimming, kayaking, or fishing, and a straight-on view of Katahdin that simply takes your breath away.
Whether you're looking for a personal retreat, a rental investment, or a connection to one of Maine's most scenic and storied landscapes, this island is a rare and extraordinary find.
Don't miss the chance to own your own private island in the heart of Maine's wilderness.
