About this property

The Barnacle On Bucks Harbor

The Barnacle is nestled in tall pine trees just 30 feet from the beach. It sits up on a high cliff making it very protected and VERY private. It is so close to the water that you will love to sit on the huge deck and eavesdrop on the lobstermen negotiating price. Just a few minutes walk up the road is a sweet country store that offers organic veggies from local growers, homemade cheeses, gifts an a huge variety of wines. Quaint Bucks Harbor Yacht Club is also within walking distance.

Vacationing at The Barnacle is like stepping back in time. There is a sturdy stairway that leads down to a private beach. Enjoy spectacular sunbathing, swimming and views of the Harbor on pristine Eggemoggin Reach. The spacious lawn is the perfect location to host a lobster bake or intimate cocktail party.

The kitchen was updated in 2005 but the cottage-feel has been maintained. Huge windows display the beauty of the harbor, pine floors, Kraftmaid cabinets and exquisite vaulted ceilings. The entire cottage has been renovated back to its original 1945 charm. Every window offers a gorgeous view and the open floor plan allows sunlight to stream through. It is tastefully appointed throughout and a couch pulls out to a double bed for extra guests.
