Johnson Homestead. One level living, ocean view with semi-private beach access.
The Johnson Homestead is located on the south end of Bailey Island looking out at the entrance to Mackerel Cove. With one level access to 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths, front and back yards, this is the perfect place to unwind with easy accessibility. Sleeping 6-8(MAX), the house will be a comfortable fit for anyone wanting an ocean view from the living room couch or a chair in the front yard. Sit and watch the daily sunsets coloring the sky, they don't disappoint. Many days you will see Mt Washington on the horizon in the west as the sun sets, bringing the ocean view to a mountain view.
A short walk through the back yard will bring you to a semi private beach in tranquil Little Harbor. At the beach you may enjoy peaceful moments watching the sunrise, swimming, floating, kayaking, or exploring the ocean floor's tide pools. The high and low tides makes a walk to the beach a different adventure every day, that's part of Maine life!
