Tucked away on 0.8 private acres on Cooks Island, this off-grid retreat offers exclusive waterfront access to the warm, inviting waters of Boyd Lake in Orneville, Maine. Known for great swimming and excellent pickerel and smallmouth bass fishing, the lake provides the perfect setting to unplug and enjoy the outdoors. Accessible by boat or float plane during the warmer months and by snowmobile in the winter, this property delivers a true Maine getaway experience.
The camp features 3 bedrooms, a full kitchen, a spacious living area, and a private privy. A generator hookup is already in place, adding convenience while maintaining the property's off-grid charm. The striking front wall of windows fills the camp with natural light and frames beautiful lake views, while the large deck offers plenty of space to relax and take in the peaceful surroundings.
Renovations have been started, with building materials included so the next owner can continue bringing the space to life. Whether you're looking for a quiet escape, a fishing camp, or a unique waterfront getaway, this property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy island living on Boyd Lake
