One of One. Ben Island is an extraordinary 4.2-acre private island in Harpswell offering unmatched tranquility, natural beauty, & modern off-grid living just two minutes from the mainland with deeded parking & deepwater dock access. At the southern tip of the island sits a beautifully renovated post-&-beam cottage with granite counters, tiled floors, stainless appliances, 2 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms plus a loft, & a screened-in porch overlooking a pebbled beach. Built for comfort & sustainability, the home features a full foundation, insulated windows, drilled well with a whole-house RO water treatment system, conventional septic, LP heat with electric backup, & on-demand hot water. Power is supplied by a 6.7kW solar system paired with a backup 10kW generator. A 6-passenger 4x4 side-by-side is included for exploring scenic trails & accessing multiple beaches. Additional features include an outdoor shower, shed, a beautifully crafted tree house, & a scenic seating area with stone staircase leading to the water. Here, you can unplug, recharge, & reconnect with nature—without sacrificing the comforts of home. Properties of this caliber rarely become available—don't miss the chance to own your own island dream. Spend your mornings watching the sun rise over Quahog Bay & your evenings gathered on the deck as the sky turns to gold. A 23’ Maritime Challenger boat & 4 deep water moorings are included. Comes fully furnished. Showings are conducted by boat & must be scheduled in advance.
