Private 8-Acre Island Compound on Nicatous Lake - Fully Turn-Key Retreat
A rare opportunity to own Butterfield Island—an 8-acre, fully developed private island on pristine Nicatous Lake, surrounded by 21,000 acres of conserved ''forever wild'' land. Perfect for a family retreat, rental property, or event center.
The compound features two fully furnished main lodges and three sleeping cabins, plus a boat house, docks, generator shed, tool shed, and more. The Great Lodge (2004) includes a modern kitchen, sunporch bedroom, and loft, while the historic Butterfield Lodge (1926) offers a fieldstone fireplace, kitchenette, and soaking tub. Three rustic sleeping cabins (1930s) are arranged around a central gathering area with picnic tables, a firepit, and 30' event tent.
Power is supplied by a newer diesel generator, with a solar/battery system ready for installation. Propane supports appliances and hot water. Sale includes a pontoon boat, 3 docks, Honda ATV with trailer, Bobcat excavator, and 3 generators. See list for improvements and personal property.
Accessed from a deeded mainland lot with parking, boathouse, and dock. A legacy property unlike any other in Maine.
