Welcome to Whitegate! This charming 1860's antique home located on Peaks Island, Maine is perched atop an acre of rolling lawn overlooking the sailboats and ferries gliding across the picturesque blue waters of Casco Bay.
A classic Maine Greek Revival home, consisting of two incredible opprotunities to experience all the comforts of a luxury island home. On one side is The Antique Cottage, the original home, and on the other side is The Indulgent Escape with Dacor culinary kitchen and master suite. Both offer exceptional views of Casco Bay, and a stroll down the lawn to the private deeded right of way gets you to the longest beach on the island, and the best for seaglass hunting.
The home was featured twice in Traditional Home magazine. Once for being a romantic island holiday getaway, and again for the inspiration of AngusWeare, a high-end apparel company for dogs. Needless to say, Whitegate is the place for pampered dogs and their owners.
By visiting our website directly you will see more pictures and an aerial view of the property. Click on the site now to be transported to another place and time.
