Great price but I'm looking for mountains and more acreage. I'm sure the well and elect were 50k -100k for starters. Contractors charge a lot of $$$ for the trouble of building on an Island.
@@Dr.LongMonkey Yes., yes, that's the 400K to become the owner of the property. Fair deal. But why the eternal huge tax on it ?? Most even more expensive properties are charged only itty-bitty of annual taxes, even in Maine. That's what I don't get. ;-)
@@cut-- Southern Missouri and my real estate and personal property taxes combined for 2021 were $885.17, up from $830.89 the previous year. My house is around 1300 square feet valued at around $180K.
Wow, I thought this would be gone. I know the taxes are high, but I pay 3000.00 per year on less than 1/8th of an acre. I would take down the biggest trees first, pay the taxes. Give the smaller trees room to grow.
Yeah, harvest the trees. Good idea until you hear the cost to transport the trees to the mill. There's a reason those old growth tree are still standing...it's an island. Floating the logs to shore isn't cheap.
My family owns an Island somewhere around there. I believe it is called Jackson Island owned by the Clark family. My uncle Carrol bought it in the 60s and now. My cousins own it. Know of it?
For starters you would probably need a foundation of some sort there's 50k for even a pad. A contractor would know. 130k probably for a "cottage" style upgrade.
Is this in Belgrade? I think I know this Island. Someone should snatch it up, since one acre in Belgrade with a shed on it, is on the market for $699,000. This Island is priced better than that Shed, for sure!
Thats actually a low price for that kind of set up. Make it year round, and i could live there no issue. Wouldnt even need access to the rest of the state, just live off the island itself.
@@wolfmooch I lived on a half acre island in the County, for a couple years. If the building hadnt burned to the ground because of some Masshole setting fireworks off across the water, id still be living there. Trick is to have ATVs on the island, a boat, and a parking area or garage on the shore for your actual vehicle. Get a nice flat bottom Marsh cruiser (airboat) so you can cross, even with thin or slushy ice.
Forgive my ignorance (I live in polar opposite - Arizona). How do you get to/from the island? You said your truck was on the island. Was the lake frozen and you drove on it?
@@markwemmith2597 My apologies. I watched the older video linked in the description box and he says "we're on the mainland, my truck is here..." I didn't catch "mainland" because it looked like he was in the same spot by the dock.
@@kookietherapy9398 How do you get home if lake is frozen? I'm so sick of this AZ heat! Plus I'm in a tract home with neighbors 5 ft away and would love to be alone!
@@kaebella2259 They meant home is on island within lake, not off the ocean, in Atlantic...which would be off mainland usa. Still, you are on an island, and have to get to mainland withIN Maine to get your car. Sorry, I sound confusing to you, but I lived in the S Pacific (NZ, AUS, Hawaii) for 20yrs.
No fireplace??? Why didn't they put appliances in the property.... And kitchen and bathroom and incomplete.... You are just buying the land...you will have a lot to do b4 you can move in....
To cold. No thanks. I'm happy in the south. Taxes, homeowners insurance, and etc would cut into my spending. I have 17 .8 acres a river , a creek and I can run around naked if I want too and it's all paid for.
Beautiful place. A little piece of paradise. Thanks for showing it again.
Glad you enjoyed it Val!
So much potential with many options. Love it
Definitely!

very nice property! thanks for showing it!
Our pleasure!
Awesome 😮😊
Thanks 🤗
Nearly $6K in yearly taxes is a big turnoff, but I'd love to live on an island in that part of the country. Privacy galore.
Me, too !!! I am drooling over it.
$500,- monthly !! ... For whát ???

Where do you live and in what kind of house that you don't pay between 5-6k a year in taxes? Just curious.

This is absolutely amazing.
Thanks for the visit.
Would be nice to own your own island. Thanks for sharing Phil.
Thanks John.
How amazing is that property. If I could I would buy it.
Thanks for watching
❤❤❤❤❤❤ Killer property tax...but hey ! WOW !!!
Thanks for sharing Kookie.
I love it but need something big to carry the appliances and furniture you would need the wood around island you use to add too also including deck
It has sold.

@@MrWaterbugdesign I'm guessing you could truck them across in the winter possibly.
Bet you can’t fart in the bedroom and not hear it in the living room 😂😂😂 no insulation 😂😂😂
Wow, wish I saw this when I bought my farm. I'd much prefer it was on a island.
Wish we saw a little bit more of the forest. Beautiful property, will be gone quick
Thanks for sharing Nick.
My family owns an Island somewhere around there. I believe it is called Jackson Island owned by the Clark family. My uncle Carrol bought it in the 60s and now. My cousins own it. Know of it?
No we do not know where that is.
Amazing….
Thank you! Cheers!
Like the island. Good money chasing bad on cabin?
What kind of animals hang out there on that piece of island? do it snow out there.
nice cabin
How deep is the drilled well
Three feet it looks like
It is a drilled well we have not dropped a tape down but the plumber pulled 50+ feet of water line up to replace the pump.
Amazed it didn't sell, was there any issues with the cess pool?
I noticed that too, no mention of a septic tank, and how would you get a truck out there to pump it ?
Cess pool is sus
Wow I thought the tax was pretty low I live in a neighborhood in Texas and pay 12k a year for 1/8 acre
It is all relative for sure. Thanks for watching.
SO THATS WHAT THAT ISLAND IS
400k for an island seems decent to be on the water but lots of work is needed to get it livable. No insulation, shower not done no appliances.
Thanks for watching and sharing.
I wounder how much the electrical service cost to install
My name is Gilligan and i'm interested in an island
Find yourself a MaryAnne and you'll be in good shape.
@@lifestyleproperties I'm more of a Ginger type.
@@SuperLooneyrooney But you would need Mr. & Mrs. Howl's money to pay the taxes, that keep going up.
I hit the lottery tonight im up there tomorrow
👍
It takes a small village to maintain a private island. Good luck! Buying it is the easy part, LOL!!!!
Thanks for watching.
sorry whats the speed limit on the lake here?
What's the history? Who built it?
Not sure if I neeed a garage there
Thanks for watching, this one has sold.
How hard would it be to make this year round living
For starters you would probably need a foundation of some sort there's 50k for even a pad. A contractor would know. 130k probably for a "cottage" style upgrade.
If you are asking , to hard for you

Nevermind, different lake. Still a great deal though!
No. This is in United States.

Hard to go 4 season on a lake in Maine. For a long time you can’t cross over the water

It's a big commitment for buying and I would love to try out live there for 2-3 month. Is the owner open for short term rent?
I love..
No fireplace???
No
Shouldn’t be too hard to install a wood burning stove. $1000 for a good stove and pipes and build a fire shield.
I would definitely thin out those trees to thick of a forest
Perfect 🥰 💞
Thanks 🤗
If I had the money Mr it wouldn't be a thoutht
Holler when you are running a Black Friday 50% off sale. LOL This city life is killing me. 👍
Only a dream .......
We're those mosquitoes buzzing around the lens?
Probably.
I wish
Forgive my ignorance (I live in polar opposite - Arizona). How do you get to/from the island? You said your truck was on the island. Was the lake frozen and you drove on it?
Boat, Kayak, Swim. Also need to figure getting furniture over.
Hellava lot more water than AZ.
He said well drilling truck prob drove on Ice in winter. Park at mainland lot, launch boat to island.

🤔
@@lifestyleproperties 🤷♂️🤦♂️
I am just here to see that somebody lives in Maine.

Going to get a mega millions ticket will call you first if I win

Wow way too match I am electrician in mass Property taxes must be through the roof
Do have just land 2 or rent to own ?????
No fireplace??? Why didn't they put appliances in the property....
And kitchen and bathroom and incomplete....
You are just buying the land...you will have a lot to do b4 you can move in....
Can zombies swim?
Pretty sure they just walk below the surface
U can keep that place
Thanks for watching.
No basement, no thanks.
My wife said it’s a great place to put a husband
👍
My wife would say same as I am looking
To cold. No thanks. I'm happy in the south. Taxes, homeowners insurance, and etc would cut into my spending. I have 17 .8 acres a river , a creek and I can run around naked if I want too and it's all paid for.
Definitely NOT worth $400,000
That is an interesting murder house
The island is nice, but the cabin looks like a real pos
The cabin has had some recent improvements to the roof, underpinnings, some doors, waterlines, plumbing.
$500. a month in taxes....yeah, no thanks
Thanks for watching.
