Harbor Views and frontage, 5 minute drive to Rockland

Perfectly set on the shore of Owls Head over looking Rockland Harbor. Gazing at the lobster boats, sailboats and ferry coming in and out of Rockland Harbor from this comfortable, 3 bedroom, 1 and a half bathroom house. Albeit early, catch the sunrise over the Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse at least once during your stay, it is a sight you will not want to miss. Be sure to have your camera ready! Only a five minute drive into Rockland for dinning, shopping, and sight seeing will keep you busy when you can pull yourself away from the views. The primary bedroom also with views of the water and bathroom between the kitchen and bedroom offers first floor living experience. Making it welcoming to all. The second floor will lead you to two bedrooms and a catwalk that overlooks the living room and large windows to view the water. There is a staircase that will lead you to the shore when the tide is out to launch a kayak or take a dip in the chilly Atlantic waters. This is one of many shores you can explore in the Midcoast area. *This house has a great year round tenant in an attached apartment.* Guests can park up to two cars in the shared driveway. Let us help you make the most of your Maine Vacation. Please inquire with any questions.
