a modern, casual, open plan home on a river - nature preserve across the river, nature preserve to the south as well. enjoy a dock, warmer than open ocean river, a six foot tide, herons, ospreys and maybe a sturgeon. house has a big screened porch for sunset evenings. nearby are Reid and Popham Beach State Parks with their sandy beaches and Five Islands with its dockside lobster shack. there is a main house with LR, Kitchen, DR, screened porch, woodstove, MBR and Guestroom - across a deck is the guesthouse and garage with a screened second story porch (a sleeping porch for overflow guests) and two more guest bedrooms. we have a dock about a hundred yard walk through the woods. we use the dock for swimming, kayaking, canoeing, sitting around. if you paddle acrss the river their is a picnic island with rocks to jump off at high tide.
new fiber optic internet service!! (so new I have not used it myself yet - I will post speeds as soon as I know them but expect fast!)
my sister and i designed the house and forced the builders to hire us to build it as well. we designed it for comfortable but casual living, bare feet, big meals, corners to read in or play games. the house is on Georgetown Island at the end of a mile long dirt road and is situated right on the Back River.
within ten minute drives are Reid Sate Park - beautiful mile long beach with rocks and waves and a lagoon for young children. at the end of one of their beaches is a tidal river that makes for great floating. a few minutes beyond that is Five Islands Lobster for a picture perfect (stomach perfect) lobster on a working dock.
Freeport for shopping is 25 mins away. The Maine Maritime Museum is located in Bath and is a great rainy or sunny day activity.
