About This Home

As of August 2024

Nestled amidst lush ferns and vibrant foxgloves, and caressed by the salty ocean breeze, this seasonal camp on Birch Island offers an idyllic escape. Set on a secluded 1.8-acre lot with 320 feet of private water frontage on Casco Bay, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom retreat is a haven for those seeking tranquility along Maine's picturesque coastline.

Step inside to a spacious, light-filled interior, where skylights in the main living area bathe the space in natural sunlight. Westerly views of the ocean and cove provide a stunning backdrop for your morning coffee or sunset-lit dinners on the expansive wraparound deck. The full kitchen, equipped with a gas refrigerator and stove, along with several gas-fueled lights, offers modern amenities while maintaining the camp's rustic charm. Cozy up around the wood stove during cooler spring and fall nights, or take a walk down to the tidal frontage and enjoy your private beach with a dip in the refreshing Atlantic on those humid July afternoons.

Adjacent to the Helen and Walter Norton Preserve, open for camping, hiking, and swimming, and the Birch Island South Preserve, this property is a nature lover's paradise. Of this nearly 300 acre island, almost one-third is in preservation. Explore the tranquil surroundings and share this charming getaway with your loved ones. Maybe you'll find inspiration in the island's peaceful ambiance, curious white-tailed deer, or playful harbor seals. Perhaps to write Maine's next great novel...

Accessible by private boat from several launching points in Brunswick and Harpswell from spring to fall, this property is part of the Birch Island South Association, which features a community dock and a mooring field in the cove.

Embrace the charm of this Maine island community and create unforgettable memories. This home comes furnished and ready for you to make your own.
