A renovated cabin on a small island in Moosehead Lake is on the market for less than the price of many city apartments.
A private island located on Maine's Moosehead Lake is available for purchase at $450,000. The property includes a renovated one-bedroom cabin, offering a secluded retreat with lake and mountain views.
The island, situated in Lily Bay, spans approximately 0.1 acres and features about 200 feet of waterfront. The sale includes a 660-square-foot cabin that was renovated in 2022. The interior boasts wood finishes, large windows overlooking the lake, and a wood-burning stove.
The cabin's kitchen is equipped with wood cabinetry, open shelving, and stainless-steel appliances. The bathroom has been updated with a glass-enclosed walk-in shower featuring tile and a pebble-stone floor.
Power for the well-insulated home is supplied by a generator. Water is drawn from the lake, and the property is heated by both Rinnai and wood stoves. Despite its off-grid setting, the cabin offers modern amenities.
Access to the island requires a boat. The listing notes that a new dock will be necessary for seasonal access and use. The property is surrounded by pine trees and offers scenic views of Moosehead Lake, known for its recreational opportunities such as boating and fishing.
The annual property taxes for 2025 were just over $562, and there is no homeowners association. The listing is held by Nicole Hilton of The Folsom Realty Group.
