Your private Downeast island, off the coast of Beals. 4.02 +/- acres on French House Island, just off Beals in Moosabec Reach. Deep-water frontage, buildable, with sunrise and sunset views across the water and neighboring islands. Park at the Jonesport public boat launch. A short five-minute sail or motor puts you on your own shore. From there: kayak the Reach and nearby coves, beachcomb the ledges and shoreline, watch lobster boats work the harbor, and have the quiet of an island at night. This is classic working-coast Maine—Beals and Jonesport close enough for amenities, fuel, and services, far enough that the parcel feels like its own place. Historic French Island once held a small late-19th-century settlement; today the setting is spruce, rock, and open water. A rare chance to own a buildable island lot with deep water, easy public-launch access, and the kind of light that makes people stay on the water until the last of the color is gone. Ideal for a seasonal camp, a year-round retreat (with boat and weather in mind), or a long-term coastal hold.
