About This Home

As of July 2025

Rare opportunity to own a true Maine island cottage! Step back in time and into all the charm and character that this antique waterfront cottage has to offer. Situated on Basket Island in Wood Island Harbor, the cottage can be accessed by boat or by driving across the sandbar at low tide. Gas lamps, weathered shingles and thin curtains billowing in the salty breeze-- if these images spark joy in you, this summer retreat is worth a visit. With a sizeable footprint, there is also plenty of potential to create a modern summer home on this spectacular site. Please help us respect the quiet and privacy of the other islanders. Showings are strictly by appointment only.
