Property Description
One of One. Ben Island is a remarkable 4.2-acre private island in Harpswell offering unmatched tranquility, natural beauty, and off-grid living just two minutes from the mainland with deeded parking and deepwater dock access. At the southern tip sits a beautifully renovated post-and-beam cottage with granite counters, tiled floors, stainless appliances, two updated bathrooms, three bedrooms plus a loft, and a screened porch overlooking a pebbled pocket beach. Designed for comfort and sustainability, the home features a full foundation, insulated windows, drilled well with whole-house RO system, conventional septic, LP heat with electric backup, and on-demand hot water. A 6.7kW solar power system with battery backup is paired with a 10kW generator. A 6-passenger 4x4 side-by-side and the included boat provide easy access to multiple beaches, trails, and scenic spots. Additional highlights include a tree house, outdoor shower, shed, four deepwater moorings, and a tranquil seating area with a stone staircase by the shore. With 2,000+ feet of waterfront, protected coves, and mature forest, Ben Island offers a rare blend of seclusion and accessibility. Showings are conducted by boat and must be scheduled in advance.
