Islesboro House | The Anchorage, an oceanfront home with two private beaches on Islesboro Island

4 Bedroom House in Islesboro

The Anchorage is a spectacular oceanfront peninsula property on Islesboro's eastern rocky coast overlooking Penobscot Bay. Enjoy sunrises, sunsets, moonrises and sunny afternoons, relaxing on the new covered deck or in the hammock with a book. With two private beaches, gorgeous ocean views from the living room, dining room, and three of the four bedrooms, the property is an ideal vacation space. There are sweeping lawns for relaxing or playing games, charming gardens, a private dock, and beaches for swimming in the cove.
The home, at the end of a quiet road, is in walking distance to tennis courts and playground, and close to the island's two markets, community center, farmer's market, post office, historical society, light house, town library, health center, and ice cream shop. Fully equipped kitchen, gas grill, new paint and furnishings throughout.
Enjoy morning coffee overlooking the bay while you watch eagles and osprey soar by along with loons, cormorants, and of course seagulls. You might well spot a family of porpoise, or a seal bobbing up to say hello. Schooners and other boats dot the bay along with the occasional working lobster boat. Boats are important in Islesboro; indeed, a boat is the only way to reach the island. Our car and passenger ferry departs from Lincolnville Beach frequently. On the twenty minute ferry ride, you'll experience the lovely sense of leaving the world behind. Whether you are looking for a tranquil getaway or an ideal setting for family fun and memories, The Anchorage is a magical place.
