Welcome to ''Avalon,'' a distinctive seasonal cottage nestled within the Turtle Head subdivision on Islesboro's north end. Set on approximately 9.94± wooded acres with 321± feet of private waterfront on East Penobscot Bay, this exceptional property combines natural Maine beauty with refined comfort. The property offers expansive panoramic views to the East and northeast across the bay, including vistas of Castine. Thoughtfully landscaped grounds feature a cutting garden, hand-built stone walls, and a walking path through ferns to the water's edge, complete with solar lights for your evening stroll. The sandy and rocky beachfront is perfect for beach combing, kayaking, or mooring your boat and is rarely found on Islesboro. This elegantly finished cottage features an open floor plan ideal for entertaining. The kitchen, with granite countertops, transitions into a spacious living room with a wood stove set on a soapstone hearth. The living space extends to a screened-in porch and a sun-soaked open deck, both overlooking the water and a field of ferns, blurring the line between indoor and outdoor living. The first-floor bedroom offers generous space and cathedral ceilings, while a versatile loft provides an additional sleeping area or other potential uses. The full bath is thoughtfully divided into three areas: a Jacuzzi tub, a separate toilet and linen storage, and a sink with a stackable washer and dryer. For those who love fresh air, an outdoor shower and toilet are conveniently located on the back porch—complete with evening lighting. Unique amenities abound, including Bose outdoor speakers connected to an integrated in-home sound system, antique church doors in the bedroom, and a fire pit featuring an antique cauldron. Adjacent to the cottage, a generous storage barn offers room for storage or workshop. Stay connected with fiberoptic broadband internet with 1 gibibyte connection speeds. Islesboro is a 20-minute ride from the mainland.
