YOUR OWN PRIVATE ISLAND. Accessible by a causeway, this exclusive island estate is anchored by a remarkable year-round log home, setting the stage for quintessential lakeside living. Unique architectural elements such as a dramatic cathedral ceiling and massive stone fireplace in the great room, large country kitchen, an excellent floorplan for hosting guests, banks of windows soaking up the lake views and a deep three-sided wrap-around porch are just some of the classic features of this 4-season home that promotes unfussy tranquility in the timeless Maine Camp style. An expansive recreation wing with tall lakeview windows presents an exciting surprise: a heated inground pool, jacuzzi, and large open space that's perfect for a gym or rainy-day pool parties. Further enhancing the island estate are a gently winding drive, four outbuildings (including a 4-car garage and boathouse), and an open lawn that extends to the south-facing beach - a great spot for swimming or launching kayaks. Expanding the connection with nature, the 12+ acre woodland is lush with the opportunity to create trails and vistas in every direction and to explore the 3,750+/- ft of shoreline on pristine 420-acre Sandy Pond. More than a novelty, the tall motorized wooden gate at the end of the causeway ensures this magical playground is a splendidly private setting. As a bonus, vibrant Belfast, just 25-minutes away, offers an abundance of harbor town amenities, shops and some really great dining, making this nearby coastal community a perfect complement to your island lifestyle.
