Cove-side Meadow House - Waterfront Views

Cove-side Meadow House, Waterfront Views, Swans Island, Maine
Four bedroom, one bath, sleeps eight

This beautiful country home is located just steps away from a sandy beach in a quiet cove, perfect for young children, for swimming in warm weather, and for beach combing year round. Grassy fields surround the house, which has views of the ocean on two sides. Downstairs, there is a spacious and bright living/dining area with a fully equipped kitchen, wood stove, and spectacular views of the ocean and meadows. Upstairs, there are three main bedrooms, two with double beds and one with a single bed. On the third floor is another bedroom with a double bed and a single mattress. The third floor also has a sleeping loft with two single beds for older children. All bedrooms offer views of the ocean. 25 acres of meadow, woods, and pink granite shorefront invite leisurely afternoon strolls.

The house is fully insulated and will make a comfortable cool-weather retreat as well.

A small grocery store is just a five-minute’s walk away. The Island’s much loved Fine Sand Beach is a short distance away.

We have WiFi at the house (high-speed internet through a TDS landline), which works very well for remote work, including video-conferencing. Free wireless service is also available at the town library, just a ten-minute’s drive away.

The island features sandy beaches, coves with smooth stones, spectacular hikes, fishing, and swimming in a local fresh water quarry. During summer months the town offers frequent “Town Breakfasts,” concerts, and other community events.

Another lovely house shares the property. Perfect to rent separately or jointly for larger groups. See it's listing under 'Peaceful Shoreline Cottage'VRBO #287807.

The building includes an entirely separate studio apartment which is occupied some of the time by Ezra Johnson, a 24-year-old full-time lobsterman. The studio is entirely separate from the rest of the house and Ezra has very long working hours, so will not be around very much. When he is there, his is very quiet.
