Property Description

For the first time ever, welcome to Custom House Island, a truly one-of-a-kind private island nestled in the heart of Balch Lake. This charming 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home sits on a secluded 0.22-acre island surrounded by native blueberry bushes, offering an unmatched sense of lakeside privacy and tranquility. The property includes a 2-bay boathouse, sandy beach, and two docks, plus a private mainland dock for easy access to and from the island. With panoramic lake views from every vantage point, this is the kind of place you'll never want to leave. Cozy up by the fireplace on cool evenings or spend lazy summer afternoons at the sandbar just a stone's throw away. Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat or an iconic gathering place, Custom House Island offers a special kind of magic. Spanning 704 acres across Maine and New Hampshire, Balch Lake is a beloved gem of the region. As part of the Shady Nook Association, owners enjoy access to multiple beaches, pickleball, basketball, and tennis courts. Tin boat included in the sale. Private showings July 11th 10:00-12:00PM. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of lake history.
