A private island in Maine, known as Porus Island, has been listed for sale at approximately $2.2 million. The 4.5-acre property is situated on Pemadumcook Lake, about 80 miles north of Bangor, and is accessible exclusively by boat or float plane, offering a high degree of privacy.
The island features a 1,400-square-foot, four-bedroom, one-bathroom cabin completed in 2022. The interior is constructed entirely of wood, with hickory floors and cabinetry. A loft area provides additional sleeping space, and a metal spiral staircase connects the levels. Power is supplied by solar panels or a generator, with gas-powered lighting in each room. The cabin is designed for year-round use with heavy insulation, a woodstove, and a gravity-fed water system.
The property offers views of Mount Katahdin, Maine's highest peak, and numerous vantage points for observing sunrises and sunsets. The listing describes the island as the 'ultimate acquisition' for those seeking seclusion and off-grid living.
Amenities on the island include a natural sand beach, multiple docks, a covered pavilion, an outdoor shower, a fire pit, and wooded trails suitable for walking or ATVs. The listing notes the significant privacy of the location. The sale includes the cabin's furniture, a pontoon boat, grill, lawnmower, and other equipment with an acceptable offer. The sellers also possess a permit to construct another cabin on the island.
Porus Island was listed on June 30 and has attracted interest from potential buyers both within Maine and from other regions. The sellers, who spent years developing the property as a family vacation retreat, have encouraged prospective buyers to maintain it as a family legacy site, while also suggesting its potential as a private yoga sanctuary or corporate retreat.
