‘Elevated maritime’ estate hits market on its own island in Maine. See it
An unusual house that sits alone on an island in Maine has landed on the real estate market for $2.495 million.
Even if the home wasn’t all by its lonesome on a piece of land mirthfully named Mouse Island, the residence would stand out in a crowd thanks to its elevated build.
“Resting high on its stone-clad piers, stands this uniquely elevated maritime residence, a true gem as it is the only home on Mouse Island,” the listing on Realtor.com details.
“Featured in Maine’s renowned DownEast Magazine, this custom-built 2-bedroom, 1 -bathroom, 1400-square-foot shingle style cottage boasts breathtaking unobstructed views of both sunrise and sunsets.”
Views aren’t the only alluring aspect the home has to offer. Features of it, per the listing, include:
Mechanical room
Covered deck
Wet bar
Primary private deck
“Nautical lighting”
Maple flooring
Heat pumps
Generators
Well pump
But the main draw is its get-away appeal.
“Obviously, the biggest feature of the home is its iconic island location, accessible by a small causeway,” listing agent Shannon Baker, of Anchor Real Estate, said to Realtor.
“It’s super cool because everyone in town knows the property and the cottage that was there before this home was built. It was run down and had to be torn down.”
Mouse Island is about a 40-mile drive south from Augusta.
