Rare find, 6 acres with 360'+ of private shore frontage on Pigeon Hill Cove, Steuben, ME. New 320+ sq. ft. cabin is nearly finished: kitchen in place (sink, stove/oven, fridge), tiled bathroom nearly complete (shower installed), wood floors throughout, Jotul wood stove ready to install, sleeping loft with pull-down stairs. Floor-to-ceiling water views from the front. Well drilled, power on site, septic/leach field installed, just needs final connections. Whether you finish it out exactly as the seller envisioned or reconfigure the interior to suit your own vision, this cabin is ready to become whatever you need it to be - a simple seasonal escape for summer and fall, a weekend retreat, or a jumping-off point for something bigger down the road. The 6-acre lot is level and easy to walk, with plenty of room to expand, garden, or simply spread out. Just a mile down the road is Petit Manan, a national wildlife refuge home to puffins and other seabirds, with miles of trails and shoreline to explore. And the location can't be beat: about 20 mi to Acadia's Schoodic Peninsula, 30+ mi to Ellsworth, and 35+ mi to Mount Desert Island. A real Downeast waterfront at a price that's hard to find.
Over 6+ acre oceanfront property. .. .new to the market with 360+ feet of shore frontage on a picturesque cove. Nicely wooded property with a level building site that has been opened up to enhance the water views. Land has been soil tested , surveyed and has power roadside. Seller will offer great OWNER FINANCING for those that qualify.
