Deer Isle Shore-Front Property on Eggemoggin Reach Four acres right off the Reach Road on Mary’s Lane with 1100 (+/-) feet of spectacular shore-front on Eggemoggin Reach across from Brooklin and the famous Wooden Boat School. Improvements include a solid gravel road in to a large turn-around campsite for your camper or fifth-wheel, and a 12 X 12 wooden platform for your screen house right at the point, which happens to be on the starting line of the Annual Wooden Boat Sailboat Race. The campsite includes a well with a Bison hand pump, a stone fire pit, and a non-conforming but grand-fathered outhouse / winter storage shed about 100 feet from the campsite down a charming wood-chip path. Property borders on Torrey Mill Pond, which is tidal and warms sufficiently in the summer for comfortable swimming off a sandy beach. Most of the property is heavily forested, but has a large clearing for the campsite and open views to Eggemoggin Reach. The long beach has a hard rock bottom, no muck. There is boat access to the water via an old, largely abandoned, two-track road. A personal nature trail which meanders through the wooded areas has been cleared. The water edge measures 1100 (+/-) feet at the high-water mark, and exposes about 300 feet of gravel and rock beach at low-tide. Most of the property is about 20 feet above the high water mark, providing a dry campsite and spectacular views of Eggemoggin Reach, which is particularly busy during summer when you will be treated to a constant parade of schooners and sailboats of tourists going for a view of the beautiful Deer Isle Bridge, which is just a few miles to the North. This is one of the few remaining shore-front properties available for sale on the island. The island of Deer Isle is accessed via a gorgeous circa 1936 suspension bridge. The town of Deer Isle is very nearby and historic Stonington, just five miles away, is famous for its granite quarries and lobster fisheries, and is as picturesque as an old sea-board town can be. There, summers are busy with tourists, farmers markets, lobstermen and many local artists in fine studios. Fifteen years ago the property was approved for a single family home with an engineered septic system, but new permits would be required for any new construction. 2020 taxes were $1,274.
