Custom home built by finish carpenter-owner in 1991 on historic 110-acre Morse Island near Friendship. Morse Island has a small community dating back to the 1700s. Access is by private boat only. Owner is expert timber frame craftsman and historian. Insulated home is self-sufficient and includes two solar electric systems, generator backup, woodstove, drilled well, septic, and vehicles needed to use and maintain property (14-foot skiff with 24hp motor and island mooring, solar-electric golf cart, tractor with backhoe and bushhog, riding mower). A fully-equipped wood workshop also is included. The property comes fully furnished, with many pieces handmade by the owner in fine hardwoods. Set above a long sand beach on the north side of Morse Island, the home overlooks a protected portion of Muscongus Bay, home to one of Maine's largest lobster fishing fleets. Muscongus Bay, between Casco and Penobscot Bays, also lies in the middle of the 375-mile Maine Island Trail and the seasonal avian Atlantic flyway. The lobstering and artist colony on Monhegan Island lies 12 miles to the south, and Audubon's famed educational camp on Hog Island lies 5 miles to the west. The home itself is quintessentially Maine. Three bedrooms are up the main stairs, a separate loft is hidden behind the kitchen, and bathrooms are on each floor. Windows and skylights capture the views and sunlight. Fine finishing touches are everywhere. The first floor is largely open concept with several living spaces and an open kitchen. There are built-in features, custom-made furniture pieces, and both maple and wide-pine floors. Front and back entrances lead to decks on both sides, one facing the forest and the other facing the ocean. Be sure to view the video!
