Perched above the shores of Charlotte's Cove on Islesboro's east shore, this exceptional waterfront property offers 15± acres, 770± feet of shorefront, and spectacular views over East Penobscot Bay to the islands beyond. The setting is bucolic and pristine, with rolling meadows full of wildflowers, old stone walls, walking paths, lawn and gardens, and a small pond filled with trout. Fully renovated two years ago, the year-round contemporary cottage offers five bedrooms, a relaxed open floor plan, and wraparound decks on two levels that invite easy indoor-outdoor living. A new deep-water dock with ramp, float, and two moorings provides outstanding access to boating throughout Penobscot Bay, with convenient access to the mainland by water. Several excellent building sites create the opportunity to establish a significant family compound or waterfront estate, while a portion of the property is protected by a conservation easement that helps preserve the natural character, views, and privacy of the setting. Just minutes from Dark Harbor and the Island Market, this is a rare island offering with exceptional privacy, natural beauty, waterfront access, and development potential.
