7 Young Rd Vinalhaven, ME 04863

''The Privilege'' is an extraordinary tidal inlet tucked between Winter Harbor and Starboard Rock Sanctuary, within one of Vinalhaven's most protected and unspoiled coastal landscapes. Encompassing 38 acres and nearly 3,000 feet of shoreline, the property remains almost entirely wild, natural, and untouched. A diverse landscape of moss-covered forest floor, ferns, mature trees, granite outcroppings, a meandering stream, and pockets of wetlands creates a rich and captivating natural setting. The sheltered waterfront is calm and accessible--ideal for swimming, kayaking, birdwatching, and quietly enjoying the rhythms of the coast. A thoughtfully crafted conservation easement permits the construction of two residences with guesthouses, offering exceptional flexibility for the next steward, whether envisioned as a private retreat or a multi-generational family compound. Surrounding lands are similarly protected, including neighboring Starboard Rock Sanctuary, a beloved island landmark rising 160 feet above sea level. A trail to its summit rewards visitors with sweeping 180-degree views across the islands and waters of Penobscot Bay, with the mountains of Acadia National Park visible on the northeastern horizon. Large conserved waterfront holdings of this scale and quality rarely become available. For those seeking to steward a truly special piece of the Maine coast, ''The Privilege'' presents a rare and lasting opportunity.
