There is a certain practicality to life in Downeast Maine: room for the boat, a place for the ATVs, somewhere to work on a project, and the water close enough that you can head out when the weather is right. This approximately 3 acre property in Roque Bluffs is set up for exactly that. The centerpiece is a 26' x 34' garage built in 2015 -- 884 sqft under a metal roof w/ 100-amp service, pole-fed to the building. This is a finished workspace, not a shell: insulated ceiling, finished walls, poured concrete floor, windows on both sides, a walk-in entry door beside the two overhead doors, and built-in workbenches running two full walls. Forced hot air on #2 oil keeps it usable when winter projects call. Outside, the groundwork is done. The site is cleared and mowed, the gravel drive is in, power is on site, and the lot carries approx. 268 ft of frontage on a paved town road. A capped natural spring on the property provides a water source, shared with an abutter under a recorded easement. At the back, the Englishman River forms the rear boundary near its outlet, with a spot to cast a line. The public boat launch and Roque Bluffs State Park -- sand beach, walking trails, open coastal scenery -- are about 7 minutes away. Machias is roughly 10 minutes the other direction for shopping, dining, and healthcare. High school choice options include Washington Academy and Machias Memorial High School. Roque Bluffs residents are also eligible to apply for a town shellfish license, commercial or recreational.
