118 East Shore Drive

Perched above the shores of Charlotte’s Cove on Islesboro’s east shore, this classic waterfront property offers 15± acres with 770± feet of shorefront and spectacular views over East Penobscot Bay to the islands beyond. The bucolic setting consists of rolling meadows full of wildflowers, lawn and gardens, old stone walls, walking paths, and a small pond filled with trout. Fully renovated two years ago, the year-round contemporary cottage offers five bedrooms and bright, open living spaces designed for gathering with family and friends, with wraparound decks on two levels for enjoying the views and idyllic coastal setting. Several excellent building sites create the ability to establish a significant family compound or waterfront estate. A new deep-water dock with ramp, float, and two moorings provides outstanding access to boating throughout Penobscot Bay, with convenient access to the mainland by water. Conveniently located just minutes from Dark Harbor and the Island Market, the property offers a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, waterfront access, and development potential in a truly stunning setting.

• The fully renovated residence has a relaxed contemporary style, with exposed wood beams, warm wood accents, and large windows that frame the water views. It is equally suited for use as a main residence, or it could become a guest house or beach cottage, depending on the vision for the property.
• The open main level is designed for easy gathering, with the kitchen, dining area, living room, and additional sitting room all connected and seamlessly integrated with the decks and the landscape beyond.
• The kitchen includes painted wood cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, a large island, and generous space for meal preparation and entertaining.
• Five bedrooms are arranged across two levels, offering flexibility for family and guests.
• Wraparound decks on both the main and lower levels extend the living space outdoors and provide multiple places to enjoy the views, gardens, and sea air.
• The grounds have been carefully cleared and restored, with rolling wildflower fields, stonework, gardens, and a walking path leading toward the shore.
• A sand and pebble beach, new deep-water dock system, and two moorings provide excellent access for boating, swimming, and exploring East Penobscot Bay.
• Several excellent building sites, including a partially cleared site north of the existing house, offer meaningful potential for additional improvements.
• The property is approached by two private roads with substantial locking gates, mature plantings, and a sense of arrival that enhances the privacy of the setting.
• A portion of the property is subject to a conservation easement, helping preserve the natural character, views, and privacy of the setting, while the majority of the property remains available for future development.
