40 Davis Street, Monhegan Island Plt, ME 04852 (MLS # 1621061)

This quintessential Monhegan cottage is situated just outside the village in a peaceful setting. It is so charming, with its original wood interior, classic fireplace, old-style kitchen, and a perfect covered porch for relaxing in the afternoon. Built in 1929 by William Stanley, it has a vaulted living room ceiling with an upstairs landing leading to the two upstairs bedrooms. There's a sunny deck that leads to an artist's studio. If you've ever dreamt of owning an old-fashioned Maine cottage, this could be the property for you. A short walk from the cottage there's a coffee shop and a little outdoor brewery, great for relaxing after visiting nearby artists studios or hiking any of the many trails on island. Monhegan Island is situated 10 miles offshore, with ferries leaving from Port Clyde and New Harbor. Services are seasonal, and most activities on the island happen during the summer. There are a few restaurants, inns, a sweet library, one store with food & beverages and community led activities. Swimming, boating and hiking are truly exceptional in this island setting. Sunsets over the mainland can be spectacular. Spring and fall are beautiful seasons on Monhegan, great for artists, writers, bird watchers and others who appreciate the quiet, nature-oriented setting. The seller would prefer to close in late summer or in January 2026 if mutually agreeable.
