$6,500,000
Former Maine US Coast Guard life saving station for sale! The property features a two-bedroom guesthouse with a three-car garage, a small kitchen, a loft living area, and two full bathrooms. It is privately situated, yet easily accessible from the main house. The Station encompasses 12.5 acres, boasting roughly 2,000 feet of shoreline. A conservation easement safeguards the surrounding lands, maintaining their natural beauty. Also included is The Boathouse and Dock, located about a mile and a half from the main property on Sand Beach Road in Islesford, offering convenient access to the mainland for private use.
The Station, built in 1880, was once known as the US Coast Guard Life Saving Station on Little Cranberry Island, one of the archipelago islands off Mount Desert Island. The Station was strategically located on a prominent south facing point of land, with outstanding open views to the Atlantic, the thrum cap, also known as the Green Nubble, and Bakers Island, where watchmen looked for ships in distress and manned lifeboats to save them. The Green Nubble has 1.5 acres which is also part of this property. Decommissioned and privately owned since 1946, The Station, offered furnished, now has been attractively renovated and updated for a three-bedroom residence, with living and dining areas, updated kitchen, large granite fireplace, dramatic viewing tower bedroom with 360-degree views, and an oversized wrap-around deck surrounded by a granite boulder seawall.
