Leave the roads, traffic, and everyday noise behind. Located on Long Island in Harpswell, this private 3-bedroom cottage is only accessible by boat, making the ride part of what makes this property special.You arrive at your own private dock, step ashore, and follow the path to a classic Maine island cottage set above the water. The setting is private, wooded, and authentic Maine in all the right ways, with rocky shoreline, expansive water views, and plenty of room to enjoy boating, kayaking, fishing, swimming, hiking the island trails or simply sitting on the porch and watching the boats go by.Inside, this is not a polished ''rustic-inspired'' house trying to look like an old Maine camp. It is the real thing, with warm wood walls and ceilings, exposed beams, skylights, a wood stove, and the kind of character that only comes from years of being enjoyed by family and friends. The screened porch is likely where you will spend much of your time, whether it is morning coffee, reading in the afternoon, or winding down after a day on the water.The cottage is solar powered, allowing you to enjoy the off-grid island experience without giving up the basics. Phones, laptops, and the things needed to stay connected can still be charged and used when necessary. You can step away from the mainland without being completely out of touch.This is not for someone looking for a quick drive to the store or a traditional coastal setting. There are no roads, no bridge, and no shortcut to getting here. It is for someone who wants a true island retreat, privacy, waterfront living, and a place that feels like you have stepped back in time without giving up everything that makes life comfortable.Young or old, this is a rare chance to own a private piece of Harpswell where the cottage, dock, water views, and off-grid lifestyle all come together.
