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, located just above Eliot Neck and minutes from the Eliot Boat Basin and Dead Duck Boat Ramp. The island is surrounded by salt marsh, wildlife, and sweeping river views, offering privacy while still within easy boating distance to Kittery, Portsmouth, and the open Atlantic. The island has historical significance. In December 1774, local patriots hid gunpowder on this island before it was used months later in the Battle of Bunker Hill. The island presents a one-of-a-kind opportunity for those seeking to create something truly special. While currently undeveloped, the island holds potential for a seasonal retreat, artist's studio, eco-cabin, or minimalist getaway. A deeded right of way to the mainland shore offers essential access and enhances the long-term value and usability of the property. The lot size is approximately 1 acre. The island is located in Eliot, Maine. The zoning is VD. This property is more than a property; it's a legacy.
