Two cottages sit together on 1.9 south-facing acres, with 269' of frontage on Pickering Cove. The main cottage is fully renovated with hardwood floors throughout, a new kitchen with granite countertops and new appliances, a bedroom on the main level, and a new full bath. The living/dining area is bright and open, with water views from nearly every window. A loft above adds space for sleeping or hobbies. A few steps away, a former artist's studio has become a private suite with its own full bathroom, private deck, and coffee bar. Both cottages benefit from southern light, and a heat pump keeps things comfortable whether the day brings fog, sun, or crisp fall air. Each cottage has its own newly modernized waterside deck overlooking the cove. Tomboy Construction, a respected island contractor, completed the full renovation in 2025. Decks were built by Rustic Restorations, with plumbing by Percy Brown Plumbing. The result feels finished and comfortable, the way good island homes should. Outside, the landscaping is natural and unfussy. A wooden walkway leads to the shore, and a tenting and picnic platform sits above the water. A new ramp and ladder make it easy to launch a kayak or paddleboard, and the flats warm up nicely for summer swimming. Clams are there for digging, and birdlife is a constant companion. The setting is close to the world-renowned Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, as well as Nervous Nellie's Jams and Jellies and Nellieville nearby. Great restaurants, galleries, people, and experiences await at this Deer Isle retreat. Offered fully furnished and move-in ready, this property gives you more time on the shore, more time on the water, more time to settle into a setting that's hard to match. Whether a retreat or a rental, this is a special piece of Deer Isle, one that's turned plenty of renters into full-time residents.
