Private 8-Acre Island Compound on Nicatous Lake - Fully Turn-Key Retreat A rare opportunity to own Butterfield Island—an 8-acre, fully developed private island on pristine Nicatous Lake, surrounded by 21,000 acres of conserved ''forever wild'' land. Perfect for a family retreat, rental property, or event center. The compound features two fully furnished main lodges and three sleeping cabins, plus a boat house, docks, generator shed, tool shed, and more. The Great Lodge (2004) includes a modern kitchen, sunporch bedroom, and loft, while the historic Butterfield Lodge (1926) offers a fieldstone fireplace, kitchenette, and soaking tub. Three rustic sleeping cabins (1930s) are arranged around a central gathering area with picnic tables, a firepit, and 30' event tent. Power is supplied by a newer diesel generator, with a solar/battery system ready for installation. Propane supports appliances and hot water. Sale includes a pontoon boat, 3 docks, Honda ATV with trailer, Bobcat excavator, and 3 generators. See list for improvements and personal property. Accessed from a deeded mainland lot with parking, boathouse, and dock. A legacy property unlike any other in Maine.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
