Known as The Abbey, this truly unique property on a quintessentially Maine island began life as a residence and summer retreat for a local pastor. With numerous repairs, paint, holtz hausen wood piles, garden, and landscaping from the current owner, the property is ready for its next chapter. Sadly, the current owners have been called away from their island paradise, but a new owner now has the opportunity to add their own flare to this dreamy and unique property. Built in 2004, this property includes the Abbey with much of the furniture, an accessory building containing a workshop and furnished guest apartment, gardening shed, adorable chicken coop and many mature plantings. You'll have massive rhododendrons, apple and peach trees, lilacs, lupine, hiking, biking, boating, the warmth of summer, the sparkle and smell of the ocean, and the colors of fall in Maine to look forward to. Repairs include fresh paint throughout, new roof, 1st fl bathroom shower, 2nd fl kitchen and bathroom floor, French drain, new decking and stairs, and workshop ready to be finished for additional living space. There is terrific opportunity for rental income. So much to offer and brimming with possibilities, be the next to call The Abbey and Islesboro home. Conveys furnished with 2 generators and a barbecue grill. Back on market due to financing not the property.

The Abbey, aka Farrow Farm. Cunning little compound of residences and outbuildings. Be prepared for a whimsical touch with turret rooms, bridges, garden sheds and tiny house as well as a custom apartment above the detached storage and studio. Tucked amidst the woods with sunny yard and landscaping. Large accommodating deck and balconies. As is, needs some TLC. Price reflects work so roll up your sleeves for your island home. No other homes in this price point.
