Have you ever dreamed of living on your own private island? Does the idea of peaceful seclusion, and the sound of Nature's quiet all around you, sound appealing? Beautifully wooded Oar Island, with its 38 family-owned acres in Muscongus Bay, is accessible only by boat, so you can relax in your own private retreat and "pull the drawbridge up after you". Yet all the amenities you could wish are not far, as Oar Island is just 1/4 mile from the mainland.

Explore over a mile of the famous rocky coast of Maine and its ledges of granite. Look for crystals of tourmaline and garnet, and even the occasional fossil. In the woods you'll find orchids, beach roses, wild peas, sundews, and rhodora, as well as bushes of blueberry, huckleberry, and bayberry. Look above you and see osprey, kingfisher, blue heron, and maybe even our own bald eagle.

At high tide jump in the water for a swim -- right outside your front door; the shore is only 20 feet away. Don't bother with the grocery store. Instead, when the tide has gone out, dig your own clams or gather mussels from the rocks where you swam only hours before. A walk along the shore at low tide lets you explore the tide pools where you may find starfish and sea urchins, sea anemones and whelks. You can also gather the wild greens –
samphire and orach – for a salad.

Take one of our boats out to go fishing for striped bass, mackerel, or pollock; the people at the marina can tell you what fish are biting and where to find them. At the marina you can also buy lobsters caught by the local fishermen, whose boats move up and down the channel all day, hauling their traps marked by the brightly colored floats dotting the water.

Dine on the screened porch overlooking the water. When darkness has finally fallen after the long northern summer day, go out to look for constellations, meteors, or the milky way in the clear sky. If the night should become chilly you can enjoy the warmth of a fire in the woodstove.

From the marina you can easily get to nearby mainland shopping and numerous local attractions. Restaurants, supermarkets, antique shops, museums, are within 15 minutes drive.

Both houses on Oar Island are up-to-date and equipped with more amenities than one would expect on a small island. Both offer full-time utility electricity, hot and cold running water, telephone, woodstove, a well-equipped kitchen, and a bathroom with a shower and tub. There is a television, VCR, and radio in each house. Each kitchen includes an electric refrigerator, gas stove, stainless steel sink, microwave oven, coffeemaker, mixer, and plenty of cooking utensils including large pots for your lobster feasts.

The Cabin has a double bed in the single bedroom and room in the "sleeping loft" overhead for adventurous children or extra guests. Folding cots and cribs are also available.

Boating skills are required, as you have to get yourself to and from the island.
