The Ledge House on Lowell’s Cove is a thoughtfully restored waterfront home designed for meaningful gatherings - whether that’s an extended family, two+ families traveling together, or a group seeking time and space to truly connect.
Set directly above the water in Harpswell, the house offers expansive views across the cove, direct access to the shoreline below, and a sense of calm that comes from being surrounded by water, trees, and a year-round coastal community. Inside, classic Maine character - warm woods, coastal tones, and natural textures - is paired with modern comforts that make longer stays effortless.
This is a home that feels welcoming rather than precious.
Adults settle in easily with first-floor living and a first-floor primary bedroom with an attached shared bathroom. Meals and conversations naturally gather around the large custom dining table, while the kitchen becomes a place to cook, linger, and share a glass of wine. Children have room to explore - rolling down the hill, searching for seashells, or splashing along the shallow edge of the cove.
Days unfold with morning walks, reading, games, time by the water, or seeking out Harpswell's best lobster roll. Evenings bring everyone back together for shared meals and conversation, with a thoughtfully designed outdoor seating area and firepit creating a natural place to linger as the light fades. *Pictures of outside areas coming soon. Please note that due to extensive plumbing related updates from January, the lawn areas, while heavily seeded, will be patchy and still filling in for the 2026 season.*
The Ledge House is well suited for summer weeks, crisp fall escapes, cozy winter gatherings, and spring reunions. Every detail has been considered to support meaningful family and multi-family time - without clutter, fuss, or formality.
Why Families Love The Ledge House
Waterfront Setting

- Elevated above Lowell’s Cove with open water views
- Private, on-property shore access approximately a 300 ft walk (5–7 minutes) from the front porch, beginning across an open, sloping lawn and continuing along a winding, lightly wooded trail that gradually descends through the landscape

The path follows natural terrain and may include some uneven areas
