About This Home
Turnip Island is an exceptional waterfront estate on North Haven with 4.2± acres and sweeping panoramic views over Southern Harbor, Penobscot Bay, the Camden Hills, and the Fox Island Thorofare.

The annex, connected by a covered breezeway, adds a living room with kitchenette and two additional en-suite bedrooms, including a waterside primary suite with private deck. The barn provides heated and insulated guest or overflow accommodations with two bedrooms, open living and dining space, kitchen, bath, laundry, loft, and extensive storage below. The quintessential island setting includes rolling lawn, ledge, native plantings, attractive coves, and 3,000± feet of varied shorefront with a deep-water dock, ramp, float, mooring, and access to outstanding boating throughout North Haven and Penobscot Bay.
