Description

Set on one of North Haven's most desirable stretches, this 10.20 acre parcel offers privacy, natural beauty, and a connection to the island's storied past. A perfect location in a sparsely settled area where no neighboring residences are visible, the property feels like a true retreat—peaceful, open, and surrounded by nature. The gently sloping terrain rises toward a height that affords limited long water views over the Penobscot Ball all the way to the Camden Hills. The land is largely cleared, presenting numerous possible building sites for a year-round home or summer residence. A rudimentary driveway is already in place leading toward the property's elevated high point. A wooded area at the back of the property invites exploration. Located just a few miles from a public beach, you are only minutes away but a distant world from the summer bustle and vibrant village center. This property combines seclusion with access to North Haven's welcoming community—known for its lively arts scene, outdoor recreation, and family-friendly spirit, both seasonal and year-round. Steeped in local history, West District Road has long attracted notable figures—from aviator Charles Lindbergh's departure point to the summer homes of judges Gesell and Skinner, and the nearby Bartlett's Harbor Art Colony, once frequented by painter Frank Benson, Bela Pratt, and other artists. This rare offering is an opportunity to create a private coastal haven on one of Maine's most favored islands.
