Lower Birch Islands Addison, $1.25M Life on Bob and Barbara MacDonald’s island in Pleasant Bay is idyllic. “Everything you could want is here, except milk,” Bob says. “There are fruit trees, high-bush blueberries, and raspberries. When we lived in the East and could spend more time here, we even had a vegetable garden. You can dig mussels and clams, and if you want lobster and crab, just flag down one of the local lobsterman.” Barbara, who often spent time alone on the island, says, “You get into a rhythm with nature. You watch the tide to see when you can cross to the little island.

Lake are in conservation trusts,” says Deb Henderson, who works with Realty of Maine’s Maine Recreational Realty Group, “so this area will remain protected.” But when you own an island this large, you don’t have to feel marooned. A plan’s in the works to bring power out here via cable, so it can be developed as a family compound, corporate retreat, or recreational property. 143 acres, taxes $1,509.

Ram Island Saco Bay $495,000 East of Camp Ellis and northwest of Wood Is- land Lighthouse lies an island that was once rife with murder and mayhem–at least that’s what was in the mind of Walter B. Gibson (au- thor of the radio program “The Shadow”), who secluded himself on Ram Island one summer to write. His cottage with stone fireplace remains, as does a nine-hole putting green. Charlene Farley of Maine Coast Properties can’t get over it. “I come out here, and I never want to leave. It’s so tranquil, so calm–but you realize it’s not isolated when you hear the bell from the ice cream truck on the mainland.” One acre, taxes $2,700.

Hanneman Island Big Lake, Greenville, $598,000 This is an angler’s dream destination: a dozen acres on one of the largest lakes in Maine, along with an authentic–admittedly rustic– four-bedroom log cabin, all just a mile from the public landing on Big Lake Road. You’re more likely to see bald eagles, moose, and deer than people…and isn’t that a big part of the appeal? A sandy beach cools your toes between casts, and the Saint Croix River keeps the river filled with smallmouth bass. 12.5 acres, taxes $1,012.

Birch Island Moosehead Lake, Greenville, $550,000 Forty years ago, if Mainers said, “We’re going to camp,” you knew just what they meant: They were headed to their family’s cabin on a lake to wake with the loons, spend all day on the water, and fall asleep sated by the sun. Birch Island is that Maine camp: comfort- ably rustic, with 3,000 feet of waterfront. The house has an even-keeled approach to island living: the log-walled interior harkens to the deepest sentimentality of roughing it, but the deck provides resort-like views of Mount Ke- no and Moose Mountain. And on top of that, 2 0 0 p o r t l a n d monthly magaz i n e it’s a bargain-basement stunner: Marge Tag- gart of Prudential Northeast Properties says,“Three years ago it was listed for $1.5M– it’s a very good value.” Six acres, taxes $2,205.
