Welcome to Orrs Island! This lot is what dreams are made of. Cleared and prepped for TWO different building sites-choose your favorite, or build a compound immersed in all the best parts of Maine. This property has roughly 300' of private, old growth, waterfront in a long, secretive bay. It also has deeded access to the western side of the island (and two public paths for neighborhood residents) where you are allowed a mooring if you don't want your own private dock. If you're not ready to build, with over 3.5 acres, you can expand the labyrinthine walking paths through your own woods, build tree forts or tent platforms, and make this your escape from the hustle of city life as you watch the seedling birch, red spruce, white cedar, oak, and white pine trees grow up around you. The previous owner worked on trails and planted more than 150 Red Spruce seedlings. If you're a landscape architect at heart, imagine a native garden of your dreams. Plant sweet fern to make an olfactory haven amongst the ferns that unfold each spring; or steward a glorious vegetable garden or curated flower beds to soothe the stomach and the soul respectively. Just down the street is Bowdoin College's Schiller Coastal Studies Center, with over four miles of public trails-catch the tide right and walk out to Wyer Island while you're there. Don't miss Devil's Back and other Harpswell Land Trust walking trails a stone's throw away too. Zach's Country Store stocks all the necessities a 10 minute drive away, or grab a meal at Iris Eats Maine or Gurnet Trading Company. Cooks Lobster House, Sundrenched, and Fishnet Cafe are more dining options on your way to the Giant Stairs at the southern tip of Bailey Island. Just north is the burgeoning Brunswick Landing, the retired naval base where startups and eateries (like Wild Oats and Flight Deck) shine. Not to mention all the culture and opportunity that awaits at Bowdoin College and in Brunswick...And you can still get to Portland in 45 minutes!
