Private Island in Maine Hits the Market for Under $5M-but There's a Catch
Briefly

Birch Island offers a rare chance to own a property with charm and unspoiled nature, but potential buyers must consider the logistical challenges of access.
Joseph Sortwell notes that Birch Island is unique among its peers because it can be accessed by a footbridge, allowing for potential year-round use.
The property features a historic main house with significant renovations, including updated stucco and windows, which were all transported over the footbridge.
Sortwell comments on the safety of the island for children, highlighting its charm and potential for a family-friendly environment, despite its trade-offs.
