Quite an interesting property! One of the homes was built in the early 1900’s. It is located on four acres in Vinalhaven, Maine on Greens Island, a 460 acre island. This is an artist built home on a quite waterfront cove. There are hardwood floors, cathedral ceilings and stone accents. The property also has a two story cabin, boatshed and a dock. There are fruit trees and garden spaces. My only concern is there are sinks, so I am assuming running water, but I don’t see bathrooms. They mention an outhouse. Hmmm. $310,000
From the Zillow listing:

YOU NEED YOUR OWN BOAT OR FIND A BOAT RIDE to travel the 3/4 mi stretch of quiet water from Vinalhaven ferry landing to the cove at Greens Island. The Vinalhaven car ferry makes several crossings a day from Rockland, Maine. The trip takes 1 hour 15 minutes. Not too far away for a small boat to navigate, the colorful active fishing port of Vinalhaven offers everything you need..groceries, library, restaurants, art and cultural activities..fresh caught lobster.
