Four years after the U.S. Coast Guard completed construction of a 12-unit family housing development for its Station Jonesport personnel, nine units of older housing are being offered for sale by public auction.

Interested bidders are required to register in advance and submit a $50,000 registration deposit.
Bid increments are $25,000.
The highest bid at press time was $225,000.

The former U.S. Coast Guard housing development is in the Washington County town of Jonesport.
With addresses of one through nine on USCG Housing Drive, the site is located just off Route 187, known locally as Mason Bay Road, in a residential neighborhood two miles north of the town center.
The site is about 25 miles east of the newer development, completed in 2021, at 353 Mill River Road.
The older property, built in 1969, is 9.9 acres and includes nine 1,255-square-foot, single-family units, each with three bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, an unfinished basement, one car garage and shed.
The homes were vacated between 2020 and 2022. The Coast Guard has since weatherized them and maintained the grounds.
There’s also a 1,000-square-foot garage/maintenance building and a water/cistern building.
The marketing and sales effort is being handled by GSA’s New England Region Office of Real Property Disposition.
GSA provides centralized procurement and shared services for the federal government. It manages a nationwide real estate portfolio of over 360 million rentable square feet, oversees more than $110 billion in products and services via federal contracts, and delivers technology services that serve millions of people across dozens of federal agencies.
The Coast Guard’s stations in Jonesport and Eastport are considered two of the more remote sites for the nation’s maritime armed service. The housing project completed for Station Jonesport in 2021 stemmed from housing market survey analyses that deemed the region a critical housing area for the Coast Guard.
The Jonesport project is on a 28-acre parcel and consists of five duplexes and two accessible units, along with a maintenance building, roads and utilities.
