Escape to the extraordinary on Matinicus Island. Set on over 18 private acres at the north end of the island, this shingle-style year-round home offers a rare combination of comfort, seclusion, and adventure. Enjoy over 200ft of frontage on the white sands of Markey Beach, a meandering trail to the oceanfront, multiple ponds, and even the potential for a private airstrip, perfect for ultimate island access. Built in 2010, the home blends modern amenities with timeless coastal character. Designed for year-round living, it features 10-inch thick walls and blown-in insulation for excellent comfort and energy efficiency. The main level offers an open-concept kitchen and dining area with cathedral ceilings, a cozy living room with woodstove, a full bath, and a flexible office with large closet. Step onto the covered porch to take in panoramic ocean views, passing boats in Matinicus Harbor, and birds nesting on No Mans Land Island. The top floor is home to a private oceanview primary suite with full bath, a peaceful retreat with breathtaking views. A separate guest bunk room is located above the garage and can be accessed without entering the main house, offering privacy and flexibility for visitors. The walk-out lower level includes a one-car garage, a dedicated mechanical and storage space, and a 1.5-story greenhouse complete with ventilation fan and floor drains. For larger equipment, the 40x60 metal storage barn features three oversized overhead doors, ideal for housing a tractor, ATVs, boats, or all your island gear. This unique property provides everything needed to experience the peace, beauty, and independence of Matinicus, all with the comforts of home.
