Welcome to "Valhalla" ....a waterfront year 'round 1800 SF home located on Great Island  on the historical chain of Bailey, Orr's and Great Islands in midcoast Maine. The home, on deepwater, is set close on the water's edge. The cottage overlooks Quahog Bay and Snow Island .... home to the first sailor to circumnavigate the globe singlehandedly. Great Island Marina is close by.

"Valhalla" has a private setting with a small cove to the right. The water is accessed by a granite staircase which curves around a wall to a small "patio" below and then continues to the private ramp, float and mooring.
