Today the islands rustic 1920s cabin re- mains in its traditional rustic state though updated by Dean with thermal windows and a new roof. T he sunsets are just rip-your-heart- out gorgeous Dean says. At night after twilight all you can hear is the loons calling from across the lake. Its very primitive. Its haunting. And the loons might not be the only ones haunt- ing the island. One night Dean and his friends ventured on a fishing trip. One of his pals owned a local brewery so he brought a keg along. They enjoyed part of it fell asleep and woke to find the keg tipped over and empty. Overnight the winds mustve picked up he says a sense of something spooky lingering in the air. If a thirsty ghost doesnt scare you Rocky Crest might be just perfect. People who buy islands are different Dean says. Theres something about an island that can real- ly get you in touch nature. With one of the best environments for bald eagles in Maine warm and cold-water fish swimming in the waters and plenty of space for island hikes getting in touch with nature shouldnt be too hard. Aptly named Rocky Crest the house is perched just above large gray rocks that serve as the perfect diving board for a hot August swim. Mid-dive time stops and youre there forever. Its really something everyone should experience Dean said. Little Freese Deer Isle 7 Acres When Paul and June Farrow took a boat across the water from Deer Isle to Little Freese with their realtor in 1998 it was a bleak and freezing February morning. The island was entirely ringed with ice notes Paul. Regardless their connection with the place was spontaneous and emotional. Visit Little Freese in summer and youll find conditions a lot more hospitable. In 2000 the Farrows built an airy gabled three-bedroom house in a clearing in the heart of the island. Pine-paneled with large thermal windows the house needs next to no work to make it ready for a family to move in. Expect the kids to fight over the rights to the mezzanine bedroom accessible only by ladder. The spacious living and din- ing areas beg to be filled with guests drink- ing and feasting on a summer evening. Paul recommends interrupting the festivities at dusk to run to the shoreline. Looking west you can see the sun setting on the horizon through a gap in the cove. The island is also a perfect fit for an artist. The original owner a sculptor built what is now the boathouse on the southeastern cor- ner of the island its second floor devoted entirely to studio space. On the mainland Little Freese boasts a private boat launch off Sunshine Road. Next to the launch is a large barn with sliding glass doors which Paul says would make an ideal gallery space.
