Property Description
This is the most unique island property for sale in Maine. It is located in the center of one of central Maine's largest lakes. The island has grid power, a drilled well, and comes with two mainland lots for dock access and a garage. All of this is less than 20 minutes from Bangor International Airport.
Over 10 acres of old-growth forest covers South Twin Island in Pushaw Lake. The tree canopy is nearly 100 percent closed with little to no undergrowth on the forest floor. Hiking around the island in the shade of huge hemlocks, pines and oaks is an absolute pleasure. The island will provide more than enough fire wood should you choose to heat with a wood stove.
The cabin is situated on a high point of land in the northeast corner of the island. There are views up and down the lake from this location. The orientation of the island at the cabin location, with two dock locations, has protected docking from southern, northern and/or westerly winds. The island is less than a five-minute boat ride from the mainland lots.
The 1950's cabin has been remodeled with many improvements in the past 2 years including: a new metal roof, completely rebuilt 1/3 of the cabin, several doors and windows replaced, a freeze preventing heat strip from the well to the cabin was added, new interior knotty pine finished walls and ceiling, both with new insulation, new kitchen cabinets and sink, new shower enclosure and bathroom sink, new sill posts and more. The floor plan for the living area is an L shaped open space, plus 2 bedrooms and a bath partitioned inside the 800+ square foot cabin. The island has grid power via underwater cable from the mainland to an industrial transformer located on the island. The electrical wiring, installed by a previous owner, is up to date with circuit breakers.
Two lots on the mainland make this the most convenient island property to use and enjoy that we have ever seen.
