The cottage itself was thoughtfully conceived incorporating numerous Frank Lloyd Wright principles and design in organic architecture.
A design that is in harmony with humanity and the surrounding environment.
Collaborating with designer, builder Joe LeVigne, of "Sprezzatura," the elegant and harmonious creation of our cottage, "Downeast Retreat" was created. Through mindful design of space, local spruce and pine wood, window placement with a intentional view in every direction, the natural sound and sight of this extraordinary paradise is invited into every nook and room of our cottage.
The panoramic views of the bay of Petit Manan Island light house, Bois Bubert Island or the coming & going of fishing trollers & lobster boats through the colorful bouys' in the bay, lends a magical and romantic feeling all of its own.
Our piece of ocean front property directly across the street, with access to the cobble stone beach to sit and have morning coffee, or evening cocktails at sunset, makes this property that much more irresistible.
The outdoor activities, hiking, biking, kayaking that are all available right outside the door of the cottage was the icing on the cake for us.
Having access to fresh sea foods (caught daily from the bay), local boat and whale watching tours, fresh water lakes and beaches is too good to be true. The local farmers market in the town Milbridge, is only a 10 min. drive.
The many quaint and small scenic fishing villages and abounding bold coast hikes as one sojourns Nor'east up the coast to Rogues Bluff, Quoddy Head or Campobello Island just 1 1/2 hours away make for a fun, memorable day trip. The Canadian border is only 1 and 1/2 hrs drive from the cottage.
