Cross the handsome bridge to beautiful Crowley Island in Addison and feel the peace settle in. But the best is yet to come. At 1200 Windward Way you will find, tucked away amongst the balsam trees, two cottages at Balsam Ledge with a magnificent view of Wohoa Bay Islands. Both cottages are solidly built with many comforts inc. decks & windows with ocean views. A charming bridge connects the two. The many water views are truly lovely & 33.5 acres & 645 ft. of shoreline to explore. There is much to see. .. islands in the open ocean, distant fields and a few homes across the bay. A stunning natural environment with eagles, herons, ducks, and seals. Enjoy the nuance of changing weather and starry nights. Row to your own boat mooring from the shore, accessed by a railed staircase to your sailboat or motor boat to explore coastal Maine or Canada's Maritime Provinces! The property also includes 2 kayaks & a landing for nearer marine excursions Because Balsam Ledge shares two of its boundaries with the Pleasant River Wildlife Foundation there are many more acres with mushroom foraging trails and views to enjoy. The main cottage is entirely open - a complete kitchen at one end, the dining and living room at the other. The bedroom is the loft above. A new wood stove is more than capable of heating the main cottage even in the coldest part of the winter as both cottages are well insulated. Each cottage also has a wall hung propane heater, not requiring electricity, for times when a quick boost of heat is required. A quiet generator, with a back-up battery, in a little nearby shed, provides all the power needed to make for comfortable off-grid living. A real bonus-a mobile signal strong enough for movie and TV viewing. Remote work entirely possible here! The furnishings are lovely & most of them and much of the personal property on site will convey. .. especially essentials. Come see this unusual gem of a property & all it has to offer. Give yourself some time. You may want to stay
