About the Listing 1668 - 015582,016735

Birch Island is a spectacular and historic island estate in a stunning setting with panoramic views of Johns Bay towards Pemaquid Point and out to the open ocean. The 11.42± acre island sanctuary offers a unique blend of natural beauty and historic significance that work together to promote a coveted Maine experience. Accessed by a private, gated footbridge from the mainland, the property includes a charming and historic main house, a guest cabin, and additional versatile outbuildings. The main house, fondly referred to as the Emily Means House, is an architecturally significant residence designed by New York City architect Samuel R.T. Very for horticulturalist Emily Means. The interior of the home is both comfortable and elegant, with period details that have been lovingly incorporated into generations of family gatherings. Maintained walking paths connect the buildings and meander through areas of attractive woods and historic gardens, offering varying vantage points for enjoying the views. 3,987± feet of shoreline consists of rocky ledge dotted with tidal pools, a lovely cove, and several pocket sand and pebble beaches. Birch Island, private yet located just a stone's throw from Rutherford Island in South Bristol, is being offered for sale for the first time in over 80 years.
