About this property

Shipbuilder's home - COMPLETELY surrounded by water: 2 docks for access

This renovated antique 1835 ship builder's home is an icon of Blue Hill. It is surrounded by water, with Conary Cove opening to Blue Hill Bay fronting the house, and the calm Mill Pond portion of the large Salt Pond, which extends towards South Blue Hill for a couple of miles. The reversing falls into the salt pond make it one of the birding hotspots in this region. With 2 docks for water access & small craft available at the house, it is easy to engage with the water and discover why Downeast Maine is so iconic.

We transformed this historic barn built by John Cheever by featuring unique characteristics of the era and updating it for today's style of living. The barn is an independent apartment with a full kitchen and a double bedroom in the loft (with a proper staircase) We opened up the walls to connect to the outdoors through adding multiple sets of French doors and picture windows in the barn. An attached greenhouse offers fresh herbs & a is yours to take in the view.
