Our most expensive private island comes with a lot of amenities for $4.75 million.

Amenities include pantry, patio, pool, an attached and heated 3 car garage, porch, sprinkler system and so much more.

Okay, $4.5 million is a lot. But, you do get a lot for the price.

This 60 acre island is a tad cheaper than our two options above, but plenty is included, even food sources!

Two houses, electricity, and well water. Sold with boathouse on shore 5 acres with 300 ft. frontage on Eastern Harbour. Facing the ocean, this 60+ acre island has two sandy beaches, open meadows, spruce, fir and birch trees, cranberries, blueberries, raspberries, clams and mussels.

Delicious!

This island is our first to not include a residence. The hefty price tag is definitely for the conserved wooded area.

Offering 140+ acres with shoreline of approximately 12,430+ feet of water frontage in an area steeped with history for its long acclaimed sporting traditions.

The islands timber assets consist of virgin timber and veneer oak. Its varying topography as a cleared farming homestead of years past, steep elevations as well as gentle slopes to several sand or pebble beaches.

The Downeast Lakes Forestry Partnership has placed over 342,000 acres and miles of shoreline in the immediate area into conservation, which will forever protect the lands.The pristine natural environment of the region will remain forever protected. It has greatly reduced the availability in this renown area.

The price tag for Sturdivant Island is surely down to location, as its near to Portland.

Grass lawns, mature trees and perennial gardens surround the seasonal one-story cottage, with additional living quarters scattered across the property. The classic cottage has been recently renovated offering a covered porch overlooking the anchorage, open concept living/dining/kitchen area with wood stove, two bedrooms, a loft area, a 3/4 bath, and water views from all rooms. The 3 acre parcel boasts 1,100 feet of varied shorefront with three sandy beaches and many rocky ledges. A deep water pier and float provide access to the island and the regions outstanding fishing and boating activities.

The expanse of the Foster Island is awesome. The southern end offers fields interspersed with pines and birch and breath taking views south out Narraguagus Bay to Trafton and Pond Island and southeasterly to the islands of Dyer and Strout and beyond. Interior pathways meander around and down the center of the island to the northwest and northeast end. It is here you will find a mixture of bold shorefront that transitions into a sandy beach. Just off the eastern side of the Island as the tide recedes, one can see the seals rest upon exposed ledge and warm themselves in the sun as osprey and eagle fly overhead. There are indications of wildlife all around this lovely island making it a dynamic and unique escape from the mainland.
