About This Home
As of July 2024In the middle of Boothbay Harbor stands the small McFarland Island, an iconic landmark of the quaint coastal town. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage, built in 1700, is a charming summer refuge, accessible by a short boat ride from the mainland to a private dock.
The 1.5 acre island has only two other residences and is a highly coveted homesite in one of Maine's best-kept secrets, Boothbay Harbor. The 1,152 square foot cottage is the quintessential mariner's home and its charm is surpassed only by the un-obstructed views of the bustling harbor. Throughout the summer, the town surges with seasonal events including the exciting, and historic, Windjammer Days. Enjoy a front-row seat to the action while enjoying the privacy of the island as the tide ebbs and flows, lapping against the shore.
Once abandoned and weathered by the ocean, the home was restored in the 1980s and beloved by a Maine family for generations. The home again needs a caring hand after the harsh 2024 winter to restore it to its true beauty to be enjoyed by future generations. While some structural elements are in disrepair, the roof was fully replaced in 2023 and is in excellent condition.
One of the most photographed islands in the state of Maine, McFarland Island (lovingly called Harbor Island by those who summer there) is captured in postcards, paintings, and photography celebrating the town of Boothbay Harbor.
