The Ledge House on Lowell’s Cove is a thoughtfully restored waterfront home designed for meaningful gatherings - whether that’s an extended family, two+ families traveling together, or a group seeking time and space to truly connect.
Set directly above the water on Orr's Island, the house offers expansive views across the cove, direct access to the shoreline below, and a sense of calm that comes from being surrounded by water, trees, and a year-round coastal community. This is a home that feels welcoming rather than precious.
Why Families Love The Ledge House
Waterfront Setting
- Elevated above Lowell’s Cove with open water views
- Quiet, protected cove within a real, year-round coastal community
- Private, on-property shore access approximately a 300 ft walk (5–7 minutes) from the house, beginning across an open, sloping lawn and continuing along a winding, lightly wooded trail that gradually descends through the landscape.
Good to know:
The path follows natural terrain and may include some steeper and uneven areas
The shoreline is rocky and ledge-based, with seaweed and shells typical of Maine’s coastline
A small patch of sand is visible at low tide; this is not a sandy beach
Water shoes recommended for the rocky shore
