Known as The Carina House, this charming seasonal cottage offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of island history in the heart of the village on Monhegan Island. With ocean views in one direction and sweeping meadow and lighthouse views in the other, the setting captures the timeless character that has drawn artists and visitors here for generations. The 1st floor is a bright, open space filled w/natural light - equally suited for a gallery, studio, shop, or relaxed living area. A galley kitchen,
laundry, and bath complete the level. Upstairs, 3 rooms and an add'l bath provide flexible space for bedrooms, creative work, or a quiet retreat. From this upper level, enjoy elevated views of the ocean, meadow, and the iconic Monhegan Island Light. Positioned along the village's main road, The Carina
House benefits from steady seasonal foot traffic, making it an ideal setting for a small business or gallery, while still offering the feel of a private island
escape. The property sits on a simple, easy-to maintain parcel with a small garden space - perfect for embracing uncomplicated island living. Just a short walk from the ferry landing, the location offers convenient access to all that Monhegan has to offer. Located approximately 12 miles off the coast of Port Clyde, the island is reached by passenger ferry. Known for its vibrant artist community, welcoming village, and miles of protected trails maintained by Monhegan Associates, the island also features some of the highest ocean cliffs on the East Coast - providing dramatic scenery and recently a seasonal property with shared well and unforgettable coastal walks. Currently a seasonal property with shared well and
septic via deeded easements, The Carina House conveys furnished-as is customary for island homes-making it ready to enjoy from day 1.
Whether envisioned as an artist's retreat, island getaway, or small gallery or shop, The Carina House offers a chance to become part of the enduring story of Monhegan Isla
