Pet-friendly oceanfront treasure on magnificent Ocean Point

About the Cabin Unusual craftsmanship abounds throughout this historical Ocean Point home. This true one of a kind cabin was erected in the late 1920's by local builders hand selecting smooth hewn logs taken from nearby woods originally inhabited by Penobscot Indians. Built on land purchased from the Gillette estate in 1921 by the family of the current owners, the original structure with magnificent stone fireplace remains in place today reflecting the authenticity and natural beauty of this classic. Tastefully updated, the cabin blends the past and present into an unparalleled ocean getaway. This log cabin originally was built to house the workers who re-assembled the large colonial home that stands next door. The house, a part of the original Bradbury estate in Augusta, Maine had been moved down the Kennebec River from the capital city to Ocean Point. Upon completion of the home next door, the cabin became a summer cottage delighting an array of guests over the years. Here is a rare opportunity to enjoy the best spot Ocean Point has to offer as you unwind and vacation in one of the few ocean side cabins. Fall asleep to the sound of water rhythmically swirling as it surrounds the cabin at high tide, closest to being on the water without being in it. Awaken to the sounds of a seagull calling in the distance, or watch a lobster boat meandering as it pulls its uniquely colored lobster buoys and traps. Embrace the slower pace lifestyle relaxing with a favorite book or glass of wine as you overlook the sea or watch one of the glorious sunsets. This rental property is sure to create magical memories to last a lifetime. The character of this cabin is like no other and truly captures the essence of Maine in summer.
