Upper Negro Island

Enjoy watching the seals, waterfowl and passing boats from the many vista, coves on this charming 4.5 acres island. UNI sits in Lords Cove, on the Bagaduce River, at the North end of Castine Harbor, between the shores of North Castine and Brooksville. Just a 10-minute boat ride from all the amenities, history, and convenience that Castine has to offer. UNI is a wooded island with two small cabins and a free-standing bedroom cabin. The neighboring island is held in conservation by Maine Coast Heritage Trust.

UNI is ready for your family (or multiple families) to dig-in on this exciting, peaceful, off-grid paradise. Today UNI is an original traditional Maine Camp in all its glory! The former owners showed up on Memorial Day and left on Labor Day for many decades during their ownership. Play in the labyrinth, swim at the any of the beaches, explore Castine, or day paddle/boat up the Bagaduce River to the Squiggly Waters, Reversing Falls, and a delicious lunch (and ice cream) at The Bagaduce Lunch!

UNI has 1,600 feet of shorefront. The island sits up on a bank 20 feet or so off the water. Magnificent views down to the Castine Harbor to Islesboro, the Camden Hills, and up the Bagaduce River. Access is from the two municipal piers, and boat landing in Castine Harbor just a mile away. UNI has multiple granite ledge locations well suited for a dock, existing plan and space for well and septic, currently has morning and pebble beach for easy access. Renovate the existing cabins, or build new structures.

Castine, Maine is one of the oldest communities in North America. Castine has existed as a town since 1796 and is named after Baron Jean Vincent d’Abbadie de St. Castin, a French nobleman and adventurer who established a trading post in the 1670s. He married the daughter of Madockawando, the chief of the local tribe of Tarratine Natives, with whom he had at least two sons. Two streets in present-day Castine, Tarratine Street and Madockawando Street, reflect this heritage. It has been occupied continuously since the early 1600s as the site of numerous trading posts, forts, missions, and permanent settlements of France, Holland, England, and colonial America. Before 1613, and during the course of its long history, Castine has also been home to several nations of Native Americans.
