Quintessential Waterfront Cottage, Long Island in Casco Bay. This seasonal cottage was aptly called ''The Ideal,'' by its previous owners. It sits atop a rocky ledge on the most western point of Long Island, Maine, surrounded on three sides by Casco Bay, Hussey Sound and the Atlantic Ocean. Dramatic water-views are visible from most every window. The cottage has two first floor bedrooms, one second floor bedroom, full bath with washer/dryer, kitchen, dining room, living room and two porches. The front covered porch overlooks the Sound, Bay and Ocean with beautiful night views of the City of Portland's lights. Recent renovations include, updated kitchen and bath, new roof, and 3-bedroom septic. The cottage is steps away from three beaches: two private and the town owned Fowler's beach. Enjoy island life at its very best from this seaside retreat.
