Your off-grid island retreat awaits. A rare opportunity to own 1.84 acres of elevated south-facing oceanfront land on Birch Island, Harpswell. Located on the southern side of the island, and abutting the 43-acre Helen and Walter Norton Preserve, which preserves a significant portion of the 300-acre ...island, this buildable lot looks out over Duck Cove and south to Casco Bay. A stone's throw to the Goslings, Eagle and Jewell Island among others, this treasured lot is part of the Birch Island South Association, which features a community dock and a mooring field in Duck Cove. Accessible by private boat only, from several launch points including the Brunswick Public Boat launch, Paul's Marina launch service or Lookout Point in Harpswell. The shared dock is located on a common lot that has two easements, one is a 6ft wide path located above the high water mark for access to the subject property. More inland, is a 20 ft wide easement that provides another access point to the property and allows for the use of construction vehicles during limited monthly periods. A pretty meadow of gooseberries and milkweed on the inland side of the property while beech and oak trees step down to the ocean. It's a perfect time to start making plans to build a seasonal or year round off-grid island home. Drill a well or tie into the island pump house for regular water usage. Pump house water is tested annually. Bring your vision and enjoy a peaceful lifestyle with trails, swimming and the adventures of Casco Bay. Continue reading
