Hope Island

With 11,050 feet of sandy beaches and rocky coastlines, Hope Island is a miniature slice of Maine. The 86-acre island is just a 25-minute boat ride from Portland and once you're there there's no need to leave. The property operates like it's own tiny town offering a deepwater pier, church, and tavern. An 11,000 square-foot main house provides three bedrooms and six baths, while additional accommodations can be found among the guest houses, barns, stables, and boathouse that dot the estate.
