Attention introverts: Charming cottage for sale has a lighthouse — and its own island
Not really the biggest people person? Well, you’re in luck — a rare opportunity to own not only your own secluded space away from civilization, but also your own private island just appeared in Canton, Maine.
For under $1 million.
“Shoreside lot and Rocky Mecca is a one of a kind opportunity for adventurers and dreamers,” the listing for the 480-square-foot home says. “Rocky Mecca was created in the 1930s, quickly becoming the face of Canton and the 600 acre ... Anasagunticook Lake.”
And the cost? $425,000.
“It’s the face of Canton,” owner Mary Seaman told Boston.com. “If anyone speaks of this lake or of the town, people know that island.”
The small cottage is surrounded by the crystal blue of the lake, where you would have “unlimited views of both sunrise and sunset,” the listing on Zillow.com says.
What almost a half a million dollars will get you:
20 by 24 cottage
18-foot lighthouse
Boat launch
“The shore lot has a sandy beach and a boat dock,” the listing says. “Although the lot is not big enough to build on, the town will allow an RV or travel trailer, must be registered, to be parked for three months at a time.”
Canton is about 65 miles north of Portland.
