About this property

Coastal Villa for Family Retreats & Reunions

Imagine discovering a property with three (3) dwellings nested perfectly to ensure exceptional view corridors to the sea, while also allowing a family or professional group to mingle but also elude each other.

Delight in a well-appointed, not stuffy but comfortable, secluded compound. A place you can nap after tennis, enjoy a good coffee and book, or stay up late under the stars sipping wine with old friends and laughing effortlessly.

Now consider that it’s in the most adorable seaside village in Maine. A legendary and near mythical village- with a local cast of characters not soon forgotten.

This is an extraordinary bundling of three structures on the same property. A Big House, adjacent Tiny House and a new Carriage House. This allows a pod of friends & family to gather together, dine under the moon or also isolate with their immediate family for indoor dining, etc.

Our home is airy and light-filled; south-facing with ample decks, terraces and even a rooftop lounge from which to take in the salty air and sea breezes; enjoy a shared meal al fresco or play board games with family and friends. In other words our cottage compound is designed specifically to induce relaxation and restore tranquility.

The lot sits high atop a hill in Castine with panoramic views of the bay, it is south-facing; ensuring lots of sunshine and, aside from a neighbor to the West, quiet and private -unlike most in Castine.

Eight bedrooms yet with ability to accommodate others -on fold out couches, etc -means the price/ person is cheaper that a youth hostel but as splendid as any area hotel. In other words it’s a great value, leaving plenty of hard-earned dollars left over for lobster rolls, ice cream and frozen drinks!

Simply put, it all came together in the last two years: the Tiny House (guest bedroom and/or Zoom room) and Carriage House enjoining the Big House to create an idyllic retreat space -especially during this difficult chapter we’ve all found ourselves.

Skip the elevators and daily change overs, the license plates from ‘round the country and the hustle and bustle of nearby Bar Harbor- this summer treat yourself and your loved ones to a private estate, near to almost anything you desire (tennis, golf, hiking and biking, beach fires and s’mores!) but yet far from stranger danger!

Travel Downeast and rusticate at Ted & Yuriy’s summah place!

Beautiful Castine
This was the perfect property for our family of 14 people. We had plenty of room to be together when we wanted to be, which was most of the time, and freedom to do to have quiet time apart. Castine is a beautiful, small New England village with its common surrounded by picturesque New England houses along side of the ocean. The people were very friendly. Easy access to the beach. Plenty of things to do or not. Ted Regan, proprietor of the property, was very accommodating and helpful in any way, and easily reached.

Good location but cleaning below standard
Good location, can accommodate large group in 3 houses, many activities available. Our family has travelled around the world and I would not recommend this rental unless the owner make a major cleaning to eliminate the bad odour of the rugs (cats and dogs are allowed but we have none), moles and spiders.

Great place for a family gathering!
These 3 houses were perfect for our family reunion! There was room for all 3 generations to gather together for games in the BH and the CH. This meant that there was also always a place to go for anyone who just wanted to read or nap. The kitchens were set up for actual meal making and the yard was beautiful. Ted was a tremendous host and immediately available to answer questions.
