Casco Bay Island, Canada

Casco Bay Island

Located four miles north of Eastport, Maine in Canadian waters.

The island is geographically diverse. There are several protected coves, high bluffs, meadows, a marsh, plus many large and small beaches. The interior of the island is a vast, untouched forest of spruce. There is a great variety of other plant life as well, including blueberry and cranberry bushes, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, and wildflowers.

 

On the island there is a cedar log home that was built in 1994 with a wharf added in 2001. Ample power is provided by the solar photovoltaic panels on the roof, but if the fog comes in for a several days, there’s the Onan 7.5kw propane generator for backup. Also fueled by gas from the 1,750-gallon liquid propane tank are the refrigerator, tankless hot water heater, clothes dryer, kitchen stove, hot tub water heater (yes, there’s a redwood hot tub) and five wall-venting room heaters.

The house was designed for year-round use, and we have comfortably used the house in every month of the year. There is 120 volt AC power and 12 volt DC power throughout the house. The fresh water well is backed up with a reverse osmosis system delivering almost a gallon of water a minute of crystal-clear water to the 330 gallon storage tanks.

The first floor of the custom cedar-log design from Riverbend Log Homes features a kitchen, dining room, living room, two bedrooms and bath. Upstairs is an open loft overlooking the living area. Total heated inside area on both floors is approximately 1,250 square feet.
