If you need a place to get away that’s in the woods, but close to the water and just close enough to humanity either this special cottage (FirstDay) or the small island just off shore might be your ticket to reconnecting with nature that you’ve needed. Offered by the same seller either together or separately each of these properties is a jewel of value on its own. The cottage located in a small subdivision of Roque Bluffs, Maine is close to and has water access to Kennebec Bay. It’s situated on 4.6 acres (mol) with a drilled well with hand pump so no need ever to worry about power outages. It has, however been soils tested for a private septic and power is on Duck Cove Rd so not far away. This is an interior lot to but very close access to the island is available.

The island is small. But it is special! There’s an older camp 10’X10’ with a foot print that could be preserved but at high tide with only about 1/3 acre it would not support a well or private wastewater disposal. That shouldn’t stop it from being enjoyed as the current owner has done many times. At low tide, you can walk to it. At high tide, not…but there’s a boat and oars and a nearby place to launch so it’s still accessible.

Cottage: $75,000

Island: $35,000
