Set along a rugged stretch of coastline in Harrington's ''Ripley'' area, Cove Island offers a rare private island retreat just off Hotel Cove Road with access by boat or on foot at low tide. Surrounded by Pleasant Bay and offering approximately 360 degrees of privately owned waterfrontage, the property delivers exceptional privacy and a true sense of seclusion while remaining closely tied to the mainland. Originally built by boatbuilder Richard Henry Nash, the main cottage was constructed with cabin-like, ribbed framing and has been carefully and comprehensively restored over the past 20 years. Designed for seasonal, off-grid living, the island features three structures including a main cottage, a boathouse at the water's edge, and a separate bathhouse, offering flexibility for living, guests, or storage. Natural light, open water views, and a rugged rocky shoreline define the setting, creating a simple and intentional coastal experience. Ideal as a personal getaway or a distinctive rental opportunity, Cove Island captures the essence of private coastal Maine living.
