A Rare Private Island Retreat on the St. Croix River
Discover an extraordinary opportunity to own your own private island — Little Dochet Island — quietly positioned off the shores of Robbinston, Maine, on the majestic St. Croix River. This property offers a rare blend of wild natural beauty, coastal seclusion, and panoramic water views of Passamaquoddy Bay and nearby Canadian coastline.
The island is predominantly wooded and elevated, providing 360-degree scenic vistas of water, sky, and rugged shoreline from nearly every vantage point. Nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike will appreciate the diversity of landscapes, from gentle sandy beach areas that appear at low tide to rugged rocky shorelines and bluffs that add drama to the property.
Little Cabin, Outdoor Experiences & Waterfront Living
Perched atop the island is a classic one-room cabin — simple yet charming, with new windows, fresh paint, and updated siding — that captures the rustic coastal character of island living. Whether used as an occasional retreat or basecamp for outdoor adventure, the cabin enhances the island’s appeal and campsite comfort.
At low tide, a south-facing sandy beach emerges, creating a natural coastal frontage ideal for sunbathing, swimming, kayaking, or simply enjoying peaceful waterfront moments. The more rugged north and eastern shoreline offer dramatic rock outcroppings and tidal scenery perfect for exploration, photography, or quiet reflection.
Nature, Wildlife & a Sense of Solitude
Little Dochet Island isn’t just a piece of land — it’s an immersive natural retreat. Towering trees and lush greenery envelop the island, while local wildlife — from seals to bald eagles — make their home in and around the surrounding waters. The island’s seclusion and privacy are its greatest draws, offering serenity that’s difficult to find elsewhere.
Because there are no utilities or public services beyond basic cell coverage, this property is ideal for anyone seeking a true escape from urban life, or those who love to kayak, boat, fish, birdwatch, picnic, or camp in a scenic and quiet setting. Access is typically by a short 5-minute motorboat ride from the mainland, with additional opportunities to explore the coastline by paddleboard or kayak.

Map3 Lot57 Little Doucet Island is not just land — it’s a unique piece of Maine’s coastal wilderness, offering an extraordinary natural experience, rare privacy, and a lasting connection to the water and wilds of the St. Croix River.
