An Island Life with Room to Create | Come to Islesboro and live a little differently. Long known for its thriving arts community, the island offers a blend of creative energy, natural beauty, and a welcoming spirit. This historic three-bedroom Maine sea captain's house features wood floors, abundant natural light, and views toward Mill Creek Cove and Gilkey's Harbor. Open living, kitchen, and dining spaces flow to a screened porch, while the kitchen features cherry countertops and a handcrafted Maine Monson slate sink. A first-floor primary suite opens to the deck. Outside, more than 60 heirloom fruit trees surround a fenced garden, spring-fed pond, firepit, and outdoor shower. Stairs lead to the shore of Mill Creek Cove, providing direct access for launching a kayak or paddleboard. A separate artist studio with electricity and loft space overlooks the pond, offering a peaceful setting for inspiration and creativity. A lovely deck extends to the water's edge, perfect for morning coffee or a quiet moment of reflection. A historic former village post office serves as a seasonal guest cottage or flexible retreat, with a full bath and screened porch. The property borders acres of undisturbed wilderness, creating a wonderful sense of privacy and connection to nature. Golf, trails, the ferry, island market, community center, seasonal farmers market, bakery, and other island amenities are all nearby. Ideal for seasonal living, with potential for year-round use with additional improvements, this is a distinctive island property with room to create, garden, gather, and enjoy life on Islesboro.
