Overview
Historic Island on Piscataqua River
This is a rare opportunity to own a private, wooded island in the Long Reach of the Piscataqua River, near Eliot Neck, the Eliot Boat Basin, and the Dead Duck Boat Ramp. The island is surrounded by salt marsh and offers river views, privacy, and serenity, with boating access to Kittery, Portsmouth, and the Atlantic Ocean. The island, known as Frank's Fort Island, carries historical significance. In December 1774, it served as a hiding place for gunpowder stolen from Fort William and Mary, which was later used in the Battle of Bunker Hill. The island offers potential for a seasonal retreat, artist's studio, eco-cabin, or minimalist getaway. It is currently undeveloped. A deeded right of way to the mainland shore provides access. Buyers can explore possibilities for a dock, mooring, or off-grid structure, with appropriate planning and stewardship. The lot size is 1 acre. The zoning is VD.
