If you are looking for an affordable vacation spot with a tranquil meadows and lakefront setting yet only a five-minute walk through the woods to Sebasco Harbor Resort, a Casco Bay resort brimming with activity, this is the perfect place for you!
This sunny, charming and comfortable 1800's farmhouse, lovingly maintained through the years, features updated furnishings, fresh paint and new appliances. There is plenty of room for everyone to gather together for a blueberry pancake breakfast or a lobster feast (we will tell you where to pick the berries; where to buy lobster right off the boat!). And there is room for everyone to spread out... Enjoying the porches, decks, lawns, perennial gardens, all with peaceful views of meadow and lake.
The downstairs layout includes a large eat-in kitchen, large dining room with ample seating for 8, large and comfortable living room with adjacent sitting room, plus full bathroom (tub only). Upstairs, there are 4 bedrooms plus another full bath (newly-tiled stall shower). The house is perfect for 1 or more families - or just you and another couple.
Looking for more activity? Sebasco Harbor Resort is just a short walk through the woods and there, in season, you can enjoy a unique sea-side pool, golf, tennis, spa, kayaking, boating, fitness, biking, children's programs as well as restaurants and seasonal events. There are weekly activities including softball and boat trips to Cundy's Harbor for lobster rolls, and the QuarterDeck, an old-fashioned arcade with bowling lanes, table tennis, pool and video games.
Just a 10-min. drive away, you will find world-class Popham Beach, a hiking trail to Seawall Beach over Morse Mountain, and Head Beach at Small Point. The Phippsburg Land Trust also provides many hiking trails throughout the peninsula. Bath, too, is a wonderful small town on the Kennebec River, anchored by a friendly and walkable Front Street lined with restaurants and shops. And you can find Maine-grown produce on Saturday mornings at the riverfront farmer's market. Further afield, Brunswick, home to Bowdoin College, and the Freeport outlets provide more diversion.
But mostly, we figure you will just enjoy relaxing on the farmhouse porch, sipping coffee as the sun rises over Mount Merritt, and dipping lobster in butter as the sunset reflects across Wat-tuh Lake. Email or call us! We would love to share our corner of the world with you.
P.S. "Shoulder seasons" in Maine - June, September, October - are truly superb. The summer crowds are still in school or back to work - and you'll have the beaches, trails, rivers, courses and courts all to yourself. The June leaves are bright green; the fall foliage is a spectacular range of red/orange/yellow. If you've never visited Maine in the off-season, you really should try it!
