An enchanting island off the coast of Maine, known for its pristine beauty and secluded location, is now available for purchase at an unexpectedly reasonable price.

Britani Holloway, a realtor and co-owner of the island, acquired Little Dochet Island near Robbinston, Maine, around three years ago alongside her business partner.

This charming retreat, spanning less than two acres, provides an idyllic escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, offering buyers a rare chance to own a piece of paradise.

Although initially captivated by its serene allure, Holloway and her partner have realized they haven’t used the island as frequently as anticipated.

Located near the US-Canada border, the island is now listed for sale at $259,000, according to the property listing.

“It’s really affordable,” Holloway shared with the Daily Mail. “Several islands have sold recently, and we wanted to ensure our price remained competitive.”

‘I think it’s a good price.’ 

For those willing to reside just a half-mile off the coast, the price of the private island is cheaper than the average home cost in the US, which sits at approximately $360,600, according to Zillow estimates.

The island comes equipped with cell service and a small one-bedroom cabin that faces Canada

For Holloway, the ideal buyer is a lover of nature who will want to maintain the small island, which is covered in tall trees and has a granite stone beach, where the new homeowner may see seals popping up. 

The island is only accessible by boat, canoe, or kayak, but once you reach the shores, the new homeowner will be surrounded by peace and quiet. Holloway described the island as perfect for ‘people who just want to get away from everything.’ 

‘People who are looking for a cabin that’s a little bit out of the normal, or maybe people who love sailing,’ she told the Daily Mail. 

Holloway often brought her dogs with her to the island and allowed them to roam freely, with no worry that they would jump into water or get lost, she said. 

And despite being so close to the Canadian border, the St. Croix River isn’t crowded with the Coast Guard or other vessels. 

‘Once in a while, you’ll see a boat,’ Holloway said. ‘It’s not a high traffic river, so it’s kind of nice.’ 

The island also comes equipped with a small one-bedroom cabin, which Holloway estimates to be between 75 and 100 years old. 

‘I think it’s a good price,’ owner and realtor Britani Holloway told the Daily Mail about the reasonable price tag 

The cabin has been renovated with a new set of paint, new windows, and more 

The island is less than two acres and sits in the St. Croix River, where there’s barely any boat traffic 

The island is only accessible by boat, kayak, or canoe as it sits a half-mile off the coastline 

The cabin is situated on the northeastern side of the island with views of Canada. 

It was recently updated to have new windows, a fresh coat of paint, and new siding. 

Outside of the cabin and cell service, the island doesn’t come equipped with any other amenities.
