A secluded nature enthusiast’s dream and rare ownership opportunity like no other, welcome to Maple Island. Set just a 5-minute sail off the coast of Plymouth and Amiraults Hill, this private island offers approximately 36 acres, over 6,700 feet of oceanfront, three separate PIDs, an additional smaller island off the northern tip, and a dedicated mainland wharf parcel in Argyle. Tranquil seaside beaches surround the island, seals swim and sunbathe along the rocks, eagles nest high in the old-growth forest, and the natural landscape offers wild roses, edible mushrooms, wildlife, and endless space to explore. At the heart of the island is a quality-built 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom post-and-beam cottage, thoughtfully designed and handcrafted by a renowned shipwright. The open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area features soaring ceilings, skylights, warm wood finishes, granite and butcher block countertops, custom cabinetry, marble tile flooring, three wood-burning stoves, and water views from nearly every window. Hand-built wooden French doors with transom windows open to the screened-in wraparound veranda for seamless indoor-outdoor living. A catwalk leads to the cozy lofted bonus space, ideal for extra sleeping quarters, reading space, or storage. Updated metal roofing (2022) and exterior deck stairs and wooded path between outbuildings (2025), and the cottage is offered fully furnished. A short stroll leads to the almost 400 sq. ft. character bunkhouse with bunk beds, kitchenette, wood stove, and storage. The island is self-sufficient with generator power, a dug well with gravity fed water system, and septic system. The included mainland wharf parcel provides a place to dock your boat, park vehicles, and store belongings. Less than 10 minutes from the mainland dock, Yarmouth offers shops, restaurants, services, hospital, and airport access. Maple Island is the ultimate private retreat, legacy escape, or rare investment opportunity.
