Two Homes, Endless Possibilities. Welcome to 36 Salt Pond Road, a special double-lot property in the quiet coastal town of Friendship, Maine. Just minutes from the village and local wharfs, this unique offering includes two homes: a sunny, on-grid main house with a strong rental history, and a purpose-built, off-grid cabin offering a sustainable lifestyle and added flexibility. The main house is a two-bedroom, one-bath, single-level home (square footage and bed/bath count reflect this structure) with excellent natural light and a proven short-term rental income of upwards of $25,000 annually. A cozy sunroom overlooks manicured grounds alive with deer and songbirds. Outside, enjoy morning coffee on the deck, evening fires, and nearby clamming, kayaking, and peaceful riverside walks. Set further back is the off-grid house, offering an additional 755± square feet of living space, including a bedroom and loft. Designed for simplicity and independence, it has been used year-round and is wired for easy conversion to on-grid power. Use it as a guest house, rental, or creative retreat—it's ready for your vision. This is a place where the days are quiet, the nights are starry, and the connection to the land feels both grounding and full of possibility. Whether you're looking for a smart investment, a sustainable lifestyle, or a Maine basecamp with room to grow.
