Property Description
Set on picturesque Little Deer Isle, this unfinished coastal retreat offers a rare opportunity to complete a one-of-a-kind Maine dream home. This beautiful private lot has direct saltwater frontage, boasting it's own rocky shoreline and private beach- perfect for collecting seashells, seaglass, or simply taking in the ocean breeze. With many surrounding parcels dedicated to non-development, this property will remain a private haven long into the future. Designed and begun as a premiere, high-quality straw-bale house, the home's design blends modern architecture with sustainable building practices, featuring high quality construction using specialized contractors where applicable to create this eco-conscious structure. All foundation, insulation, framing, roof, windows, and electricals are in place. Expansive spaces offer endless potential to craft your ideal home, with room for open-concept living, studio space, or guest areas. This amazing opportunity allows you to decide how the final layout will come together-whether you envision an airy coastal getaway, an artist's retreat, or a year-round residence. A partially built widow's walk hints at what could become a stunning rooftop vantage point overlooking the water and Camden hills - the perfect setting to take in a sunset. From here, you're just moments from Pumpkin Head Light, local beaches, and the beautiful village of Deer Isle. Whether you're drawn by the promise of coastal tranquility, sustainable living, or the chance to bring a bold vision to life, this unique property invites creativity and possibility-right on Maine's breathtaking coast. ----- Also Listed As MLS# 1641048
