Islesboro is only a 20-minute ferry ride from Lincolnville, close to Camden and Belfast, has a highly rated school, broadband, markets, community center, gym, a very active, vibrant summer community, an airport, Amazon/UPS/Fedex daily. It is so convenient to live here, you hardly know it is an island, except, of course, when you look out your window, smell the ocean air or hear the ocean waves. This is a magical place to live year round, spend summers, rent out or work from home.
