Ever think of getting away from it all? Well this adorable little cottage on Swans Island is tucked into a cove with pink granite ledges out front and is certainly the answer to privacy and relaxation. 410' on Seal Cove with very wooded lot and a wrap around deck that is very close to water's edge. Conservation easement in place only allows this size building and no further development, but it's great just the way it is.
