Little Dochet Island, off the coast of Robbinston, Maine, has hit the market - and comes equipped with cell service and a small one-bedroom cabin that faces Canada.
A gorgeous Maine island offering the ultimate in privacy and a rustic cabin has hit the market for a surprisingly affordable price.
Realtor and owner, Britani Holloway, purchased Little Dochet Island off the coast of Robbinston, Maine, roughly three years ago with her business partner.
The less than two-acre island was a paradisal place that offered seclusion, a relaxing pace away from the mass population, and the chance to own a private island.
So, the pair scooped it up. But three years later, they've found that they don't use it as much as they thought they would.
Now, the island, which lies close to the US-Canada border, has hit the market for $259,000, the listing said.
'It's really inexpensive,' Holloway told the Daily Mail. 'There's been a few other islands that have sold and we just wanted to be competitive with our price.
'I think it's a good price.'
For those willing to reside just a half-mile off the coast, the price of the private island is cheaper than the average home cost in the US, which sits at approximately $360,600, according to Zillow estimates.

For Holloway, the ideal buyer is a lover of nature who will want to maintain the small island, which is covered in tall trees and has a granite stone beach, where the new homeowner may see seals popping up.
The island is only accessible by boat, canoe, or kayak, but once you reach the shores, the new homeowner will be surrounded by peace and quiet. Holloway described the island as perfect for 'people who just want to get away from everything.'
'People who are looking for a cabin that's a little bit out of the normal, or maybe people who love sailing,' she told the Daily Mail.
Holloway often brought her dogs with her to the island and allowed them to roam freely, with no worry that they would jump into water or get lost, she said.
And despite being so close to the Canadian border, the St. Croix River isn't crowded with the Coast Guard or other vessels.
'Once in a while, you'll see a boat,' Holloway said. 'It's not a high traffic river, so it's kind of nice.'
The island also comes equipped with a small one-bedroom cabin, which Holloway estimates to be between 75 and 100 years old.
