SEA RIVER RETREAT has three+ separate accommodations: The Perch & The Nest (Main House), The Majabigwaduce Meeting House (Recreation / Meeting House) and Tidewater Cabin.
PERCH & NEST: The main residence is a 4,600-sf versatile layout as either a spacious single home or 2 semi-private accommodations, The Perch and The Nest. The Perch is the original log cabin home with beamed and vaulted ceilings, where ample skylights cast sun rays across its warm pine walls. Central is the family room with a cobblestone fireplace, kitchenette, dining area, entry office, as well as 2-3 delightful bedrooms and two baths. Sliding glass doors open to a water-facing deck. Back inside, a few steps down through a privacy door opens to a magnificent newer and spacious addition to the home, The Nest. Large windows cover the near entirety of the water-facing sides of the home, capturing one of the area’s most scenic views on the Bagaduce - from near every room. The gourmet kitchen, breakfast nook, living room, and formal dining room are stunning. They include a stone-surround fireplace, fully-equipped wet bar, coffee bar, galley workstation, prep room, including walk-out access to the patio. The primary bedroom suite features a sitting area with full size futon, private balcony, and large bath with dual sinks. A large, finished basement offer ample sleeping with a king, 3 twins beds, twin sized couch / sitting area and full size futon.
MAJABIGWADUCE MEETING HOUSE: This unique 2,500-sf custom art studio is flooded with natural light from large clerestory windows providing for an open and airy space to gather. With a kitchen, sitting area, two bedrooms and 3/4 bath, covered porches, along with an expansive open space, it serves a variety of uses. Whether for overflow accommodations, recreation (pickle ball, ping pong, corn hole, bad mitten, croquet & more ), special “micro” events, small weddings, meetings or simply a gathering hub, the options are endless.
TIDEWATER CABIN: This charming cabin sits at the water’s edge and provides close up views of the sights and sounds of the river wildlife, flowing waters and reversing falls. Along with the shimmering seawater reflecting through the windows, the “bottle wall” that casts a rainbow of light across the vaulted ceilings, or the glimmer from the flames of the cast iron gas stove, the cabin is magical. From combined living room and kitchen, to bedroom, laundry, ¾ bath, and wrap around deck, it has everything you need.
THE GROUNDS: For the outdoor enthusiast, this 10.5 acre parcel features a dock, complete with a 10′ x 36′ float, and offers seamless access for boating, kayaking, paddle-boarding, and fishing. Beyond the rolling lawns and gardens, the property features two woodsheds, garden shed, a campfire area with seating, and a suspended two-story treehouse. Situated on a private and winding no-outlet road, it is perfect for leisurely walks, biking, bird watching, and life away from the hustle and bustle. The views are beyond exceptional.
STONINGTON ACCESS: Guests of Sea River Retreat also have parking and kayak privileges at our other home in Stonington, Maine - Maine’s largest lobstering village and premier kayaking waters.
THE AREA: Penobscot is a picturesque and rural community on the Blue Hill Peninsula just outside the town of Blue Hill. It is home to both Penobscot Bay and the 12 mile long Bagaduce River, Maine’s most prolific estuary / sea river. In addition to the coastal influence, Penobscot has several lakes, rivers and trails. It is centrally located with convenient access to Blue Hill, Castine, Bucksport, Belfast, Deer Isle, Stonington and Acadia National Park.
