It doesn't get more classically Maine than this thoughtfully renovated 19th-century farmhouse with 270 feet of tidal shorefront on an inlet of Penobscot Bay. Built in the 1880s and lovingly remodeled in recent years, this home maintains its original charm in its beautiful wood plank floors, exposed ceiling beams, and inviting country kitchen, yet it has also been updated with such modern amenities as free WiFi and a flatscreen TV with cable service.

Here on the edge of the tidal Bagaduce River, you'll spend your days exploring the serene beauty of the Blue Hill Peninsula, taking easy day trips to Acadia National Park and Deer Isle, and coming home to a private deck, a stone firepit for evening s'mores and stories, and a gorgeous stretch of private, west-facing shoreline where you can take in unforgettable sunsets. A private gas grill is perfect for summertime cookouts.

What's nearby:
This three-bedroom farmhouse enjoys a wonderful location in the village of Penobscot on the Blue Hill Peninsula, off the beaten path yet an easy drive from the neighboring towns of Blue Hill (eight miles southeast) and Castine (10 miles southwest). You'll be able to walk to the local country store for any necessities you may require, and you'll have 270 feet of west-facing waterfront on the banks of the tidal Bagaduce River (an inlet of greater Penobscot Bay). The natural splendor of Maine is all around you, whether you choose to drive 20 miles south to Deer Isle and Stonington, the lobstering capital of Maine, or head 40 miles east to charming Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, glimpsing such iconic landmarks as the Ocean Path and the summit of Cadillac Mountain while you're there.

Things to know:
Free WiFi
Full kitchen

Visiting for the Eclipse
This place was perfect for our weeklong stay in scenic Downeast Maine. We came to watch the 2024 eclipse, but wanted to spend the rest of the week exploring, and this location in Penobscot provided the perfect launching pad for those explorations.

Lovely restored farmhouse
We had a great three night stay. The house is well equipped and comfortable. The main road is busy, but the backyard is private and large. We were able to take advantage of the picnic area with fire pit, which is at the end of a woodsy path. Acadia is a bit of a drive, but there are are also plenty of things to do closer by. The beds are very comfortable. It would be nice to have night stands and reading lamps on both sides of the queen and king beds. I recommend this house for family getaways.

Perfect for a downeast Maine get-away
Home is off the beaten path and if you plan to do several trips to Bar Harbor / Acadia, it is a bit of a drive... however, if you are going to Castine, Acadia, Camden, etc, it is a great older home that has been shown lots of extra care and attention. Everything you need for a stay, and plenty comfortable. We even got to see a fox and a large cat (bob-cat maybe), out and around the property.
