About This Home

As of September 2023

Introducing an exceptional opportunity to craft your own island retreat on Birch Island, Maine. This 2-bedroom cottage presents a blank canvas for those with a vision of their ideal coastal escape.
With a minimalist design and a rustic exterior, the cottage invites you to unleash your creativity. The open-concept layout allows for flexible arrangements, ensuring that every square foot can be optimized to suit your needs.
While the cottage itself is a blank slate, the location is anything but ordinary. Accessible by boat, with a private dock and beach, this island setting ensures a level of seclusion that's increasingly rare in today's world. Yet, when you're ready for a change of pace, the mainland's conveniences are just a short journey away. The cottage is fitted with solar electric, in-ground septic, a water collection system and wood stove for the chilly evenings.
Don't miss this rare chance to shape your own island haven.
