About this home
An extraordinary opportunity to own a 9.6-acre private island on Fish River Lake, a 2,642 acre haven in the North Maine Woods. With just 8 camps on the entire lake - you will find unmatched privacy and serenity. This rare, deeded property - once a 19th-century sporting camp has been thoughtfully transformed into a self-sustaining family compound that honors its heritage while embracing modern comfort. Six beautifully restored log cabins sit along 3,000 ft of shoreline, each with full baths, electricity, and tranquil lake views. At the heart of the island, a historic lodge features a central stone hearth, a welcoming gathering space for dining, games, and quiet evenings. The fully equipped, commercial-grade kitchen makes hosting a crowd easy and effortless. Gather around the fire pit under a canopy of stars. Paddle through quiet coves or head out in a motorboat-either way, the lake beckons. Cast a line into the deep-water pool at the southern end of the lake, renowned for Brook Trout and Landlocked Salmon. Wake to glorious sunrises and the haunting call of loons echoing across the water. Wander peaceful trails that crisscross the island, offering moments of reflection and discovery at every turn. The property runs off-grid with a robust solar array and backup generator providing reliable electricity to the buildings. Internet is available. Additional outbuildings include a laundry house, generator shed, supply shed, new barn for storage and equipment, and grandfathered structures ripe for restoration or new construction. Ideal for swimming, boating, or simply escaping the noise of the world, the island includes a low maintenance dock and comes fully furnished and move-in ready with tools and toys to enhance your stay. A privately leased mainland lot offers secure parking, storage, and a dock for easy boat access to the island. Whether a family compound, group-owned get-away or a haven for float plane owners, this is a peaceful retreat-rare, remote, and remarkable....
