Exclusively Listed for $975,000

109 Reed Avenue

Peak’s Island in Portland, Maine

Have you ever dreamed about living on an island in Maine?

Rarely does an opportunity like this come along. Set on one of Casco Bay's most beloved islands, 109 Reed Avenue on Peak’s Island offers 458 feet of pristine ocean frontage, a private beach on Josiah’s Cove, and 0.92 acres of land that feels worlds away from the mainland, yet is just a short ferry ride from the heart of Portland.

This is a surveyed level building lot, ready for you to break ground on the island home you've always envisioned. The property abuts protected conservation land, ensuring your views and natural surroundings remain unspoiled for generations to come.

The land itself carries a rich history. At the height of Peaks Island's golden era in the 1890s, the island boasted 16 hotels and inns, and this very site was home to one of them — [hotel name] — a destination that drew summer visitors from across New England to enjoy this same breathtaking stretch of shoreline.

In later years, the property took on a contemplative character as the site of Saint Joseph by the Sea Convent, operated by the Sisters of Notre-Dame de Namur, whose presence gave the land a quiet dignity that still feels present today.

Peaks Island living is something truly special. With a tight-knit year-round community, miles of shoreline trails, local restaurants, and a relaxed, unhurried pace of life, the island strikes a balance that's hard to find anywhere else. Portland's restaurants, arts scene, and amenities are just a 20-minute ferry ride away — making this the best of both worlds.

Whether you're dreaming of a full-time coastal retreat or a legacy family compound, this lot is one of the last chances to build something extraordinary on Peaks Island. Opportunities with this much frontage, this much privacy, and this much potential simply don't come back around.
