If you could board a boat and, in about 15 minutes, enter a place of serenity and sanctuary—where life slows down, neighbors know one another, friends gather and families reconnect—would you do it? Would you escape for weekends, an entire summer or make island life your year-round reality? What if you could create something you love and, when you are away, something that works for you? This is your opportunity. Tucked within coveted Evergreen Landing, this rare year-round cottage transports you back in time while keeping you close to everything that makes Peaks Island so special. Park near the end of Island Avenue and follow the path to a home with no passing traffic and no bustle—only peace, privacy, direct, privately owned water frontage and protected panoramic views across Casco Bay. Here, the soundtrack is the rolling surf and distant bell buoys. Dating to 1900, the 1,740-square-foot cottage offers two bedrooms, one full bath, windows in every room and a flexible floor plan ready for its next chapter. A new roof, rebuilt front porch, and recently replaced septic system and water line—all completed within the past two years—provide an important head start. Enjoy it as it is: authentic, rustic and filled with island character. Thoughtfully improve it while preserving its history. Or transform it into a spectacular modern coastal retreat. With year-round use and exceptional appeal as an island getaway, the possibilities extend well beyond personal enjoyment. Use it whenever you wish, then unlock its tremendous short-term rental potential during the weeks and seasons you are away—creating a property that can deliver both memories and income. Rare privacy and protected panoramic views make this the kind of property that cannot be fully captured in words or photographs. You have to stand here, take in the view and feel the pace of life change. Peaks Island has always been special. This is one of the places that shows you why.
