About this property

Early 1800's Bayfront Farmhouse

This charming historical farmhouse with gorgeous waterfront and side views is located at the end of a beautiful ocean bay in Addison Maine. Built by a sea captain in the early 1800's, it served as the village's first post office, a maternity ward for midwives and a vacation home for many guests maintaining the same energizing warmth and hospitality it offered many years ago. Relax on the large front porch with your morning cup of coffee or evening glass of wine and watch the birds and seals, sometimes otters, deer, mink and moose! Absorb positive energy from the large tides that constantly change the view for you. Walk or bicycle to Crowley Island, a natural bird preserve and don't forget your camera, the area beaches are just minutes away and connect to trails with breathtaking views. It offers a charming dining and living room, eat in kitchen complete , a cozy library full of books including a children's section, board games, puzzles (a Maine favorite) and over 100 DVDs for a relaxing movie night. Tourist pamphlets and local restaurant menus are kept on premises to help you plan your days and nights. You will be just minutes away from grocery stores, local fisheries, restaurants, gift shops (Blueberry Land) and beaches. Less than 90 minutes away from Acadia National State Park, 27 minutes to Rogues Bluff State Park, 15 minutes away from Beals Island, an hour and 30 minutes to Lubec and Canada. This is a perfect get away for rest and relaxation and a chance to experience the magical shores of Maine. Experience a real "Down East Maine" fishing town with enchanting and picturesque views of rocky coastlines, lobster boats and wildlife. It is the perfect place to kick back, create memories and forget about life for awhile.

The house is decorated with sea bird figures as well as paintings that celebrate the sea and some classic literature. The library room is a wonderful treat in evenings if you enjoy reading, but there is a small theatre upstairs where you can watch movies or play chess. The barn offers four kayaks and a dozen bicycles for recreation. The view of the bay and the 12 foot tide engages everyone who has the privilege of being there. The local villages are very friendly and helpful.

We absolutely loved our stay at Liz’s beautiful historic farmhouse! Liz was incredibly easy to communicate with and by the time we arrived it felt like we had been friends forever! She checked in on us during our stay and even offered us an extra night. Unfortunately, we had to get back to work, but what a thoughtful and generous offer!The farmhouse was wonderful. We loved its history and charm and it had everything we could possibly need—and I mean EVERYTHING! It was clean, comfortable, cozy, and so well stocked that the only things we needed to buy were food and of course, lobster and more lobster!The location is what really made this place special. We spent so much time at the picnic table right on the water, having our morning coffee, eating lunch, watching the birds, and seeing an eagle every day that we named Eddie III! We watched the tides come and go, walked along the rocks, and enjoyed the geese making their daily trek through the property. Waking up with the water right outside our bedroom window was incredibly peaceful.Everyone in town is extremely friendly and the neighbors often stopped to chat. There is plenty to explore nearby—beautiful beaches, amazing scenery, fresh lobster right off the boats, places for shell hunting and gift shops featuring handmade Maine goods.If you want a peaceful, authentic Down East Maine experience, this is the place! Liz was wonderful and the farmhouse has so much character. We made wonderful memories here!

Great stay and beautiful view

We had a great stay here. The view was incredible!! We have family in the area so didn’t spend a lot of time at the house but when we were there it met all of our needs. My son (11) was thrilled to see bikes for him to borrow. Elizabeth was great to communicate with very thoughtful in prepping her home and the items available for us to use. Would stay her again.

Loved the beautiful old home, loved the location! By far the best vacation we have had as a family. Loved that the home came well stocked with any thing we could have needed, and thoroughly enjoyed the bikes and kayaks provided. My husband and I are already looking at dates for next summer to book this home again.

Why they chose this property

This is a very inviting house full of positive energy. It is beautifully balanced, peaceful and safe. Cross the street to stone steps that lead to a picnic area and watch the changing tides, Maine wildlife and reversing falls. By the time the water reaches the Captains House the sun warms it up making it nice for swimming and kayaking. Historians say the salt water pond next to the house was a great swimming area for local children. Area beaches are beautiful, picturesque and great for finding little treasures. You will usually have them all to yourself.
semi-private and only minutes away!

What makes this property unique

Go back in time, escape the rest of the world and relax! A great getaway. The ocean gives positive energy and strength. The tides are large and fun to watch. The "reversing falls" are right across the street. Swim in the warmer salt water pond next to the house.
