Beautiful ocean-front home, wooded seclusion, private beach on Maine Bold Coast

All the beauty of Acadia in your own wooded corner of Maine’s Bold Coast, this property is truly medicine for the mind. Acres of forest carpeted by soft moss surround the home and a crystal clear brook meanders through on its way to a small waterfall on the small cliff at the beach. The walkable beach is covered with small smooth pebbles which makes an amazing pop-rock sound as the waves crash and retreat, exactly the same as the nearby Jasper Beach. Large bold pink granite veins are also part of the beach landscape and they stand defiant against the waves of the Atlantic.

The views of the islands and open ocean from all 3 levels of the home are truly breathtaking. Enough beds to sleep 6 adults comfortably, and with 2 bathrooms, this classic coastal Maine home features a spiral staircase, wall to wall windows on the first floor living space providing panoramic views of the water, and refinished original hardwood floors from when the cottage was built in 1905. There is a one of a kind bench available for guest use that provides a prime spot to chill by the sea and recharge. Guests can explore the trail through the woods that leads to an observation deck with two rocking chairs. The serene spot is next to a small water fall and overlooks the bold rocky coastline.

The property provides easy access to the beach via a gently sloping trail. The ocean in front of the property is surprisingly calm many days, especially mornings, and you can often see kayakers and paddle boarders making their way to Jasper Beach, which is just up the coast a bit from the cottage. The cliffs, canyons and caves between the cottage and Jasper Beach are truly phenomenal when viewed from the water or explored on foot. There are 2 kayaks available to guests for a separate seasonal fee and waiver that must be signed. Message the hosts if interested. Guests can also supply their own water sports equipment, which can be rented from outfitters in nearby Machias.

There is a king bed in the spacious upstairs lighthouse theme bedroom, a full bed in the second upstairs moose theme bedroom, a twin bed and two built-in bunk beds in the first floor blueberry theme bedroom, a queen size bed in the newly finished lobster theme bedroom in the walkout basement. The top bunk in the bunk room is available for luggage storage and the bunks have a weight limit of 180 pounds.

The home is heated by a combination of propane, electric baseboard and a mini-split heat pump with air conditioning as well. The best air conditioning however is most always the windows and there are window fans available for guest use in all rooms except the bathrooms.

There is an antique desk and cloth office chair in the lower level family room that can serve as an office space if necessary. There is also an antique desk and office chair in the basement bedroom and a fold down desk in the second upstairs bedroom each offering work spaces as well. The kitchen has a new dishwasher, full size refrigerator, gas oven and five burner cook top with built in griddle, microwave, and a custom built antique coffee cart with combination Keurig and drip coffee maker. The kitchen also has a blender, salad spinner, lobster pot, lobster and oyster shucking tools, and a toaster.
