Lovely setting and out of view from Sunshine road, this quaint cottage sits in a well established lawn surrounded by mature, mixed hardwood and fir trees. Enjoy the sounds of birds and rustling leaves while relaxing at this quiet, hidden Cottage. Renovations are underway with plenty more to do to make this your own space. A new roof and a replaced sill as well as reconstructed stairs are some of the major improvements completed in the past year. Whether you are looking for a camp to enjoy Deer Isle and the region or you'd like to make this a permanent residence, you have to see it to appreciate the beauty of this location! Property is being sold furnished and in as-is condition.
Relax in this idyllic setting surrounded by mature, mixed hardwoods and pines while enjoying the warmth from the stone firepit. This 2 bedroom cape overlooks a large lawn and is tucked in the woods away from the main road. Upgrades include a new septic system (installed in 2013) and Rinnai propane heater. Interior is finished with simple materials but would be a fun project to improve and express your design creativity. The house is partially insulated and could be finished for year-round living or use it as a great landing spot for your quiet, Deer Isle getaway.
