One-sixth interest in a magnificent private ~39 acre rugged island in the quieter North end of Casco Bay. Includes the "High View" cottage featuring breathtaking ~270 degree views from the crest of a high ridge ... including full sunrise, full sunset, and views of the Presidential Range with Mount Washington. The island is unusual in that it has a wonderful variety of forest, cliffs, pocket beaches, high granite knob (with 3 geodetic survey markers and the best view in the area), as well as Bayberry scrub that provides views and bird habitat. The cottage has many windows, polyurethaned Russian Spruce interior, substantial custom wood frame, front and rear decks, heavy gauge lifetime galvalume metal roof, and solar power. Storage room underneath. An auxiliary outbuilding has a SunMar water interface composting toilet, solar system controls, and extra storage. The water supply is a cistern which Spring rains fill which is sufficient for the rest of the year. There is good cell phone coverage at the cottage. Fully furnished with all you need. Walk in, flip a switch to turn on lights/fridge, and enjoy the views and nature at its best. This cottage is the maximum size allowed. Note that building costs on islands and particularly at a perch like this are typically at least double what they are on the mainland. The value of a fully built and ready-to-go cottage on an island should not to be underestimated. Additional pictures are at: www.greatmaine.com/IslandCottage Contact steve@greatmaine.com for more details. There are 6 one acre building lots on the island. Each lot is surrounded by common land. Ownership of the cottage lot includes joint ownership of the common land (~ 33 acres) that consists of all island land (excluding the building lots) as well as all waterfrontage and a mainland parking lot near town water access. Maximizing the amount of common land was purposefully done so that owners can roam the entire island and not be confined just to their "own" lot. The common land is owned and cooperatively governed by the lot owners via the Wood Island Association and its bylaws. Each lot designates 1 director of the association. Each lot is subject to deed restrictions. The intent of the deed restrictions and bylaws is to ensure good stewardship for the island ... which is why we are here in the first place. Ownership here has been described as having your own National Park. This unique property is for those with a deep appreciation of Nature and views of the ocean, sunrises, sunsets, and star filled skies. The essence of this offering is exceptional views from an exceptional perch on an exceptional island. Note that island life is very different from the Mainland ... but that is the point.
