Located just off Sylvester Cove and the village of Sunset, Sheephead Island offers the rare opportunity to own an idyllic Maine island in its entirety. Encompassing 65± pristine acres with two homes, the island is connected to the mainland at low tide offering a truly private island setting with the ease and accessibility of a mainland property. Buildings include a five-bedroom colonial-style main house, a four-bedroom contemporary guest home, a boathouse and an artist's studio. The island's extensive shorefront is spectacular with miles of interesting ledge, tidal pools, and broad sandy beaches. Walking paths meander through fields and forest with a special hidden swimming pond. There is a deep-water dock with a ramp, float and mooring tucked into the northeast lee of the island, providing ample space for yacht moorage and protection from most winds and prevailing seas.
