Oceanfront cottage on tranquil cove in Harpswell with wharf and water access

Recharge your mind, body, and spirit at this peaceful retreat, a mere stone's throw from the water. Located on historic Basin Cove in Harpswell, this modern, functional space has all the amenities that make seaside cottage living so enjoyable: oversized wharf with direct water access, two kayaks, well-equipped kitchen with all-new appliances, high-end finishes and fixtures, spacious bathroom with luxurious touches, and a 4K Smart TV with fiber Internet and Wi-Fi. Spend your days exploring the wondrous and abundant trails and beaches in the area, sun-soak yourself on the wharf, or go for a swim in the cove's serene, refreshing waters after a kayak trip. Shower, make a drink, and fire up the grill for dinner. Segue into s'mores at the fire pit and wind down the evening binge-watching AppleTV. The cove is tidal, relatively shallow, and sheltered from the open ocean. The overhead sun highlights the beautiful, emerald hues of the shallows while herons, seagulls, ducks, hawks, and eagles dance in the updrafts. The eating in Harpswell is incredible, with many just-off-the-boat seafood options, the revered Itty Bitty Coffee Shop, Pammy's Ice Cream, Erika's Lobster, the Dolphin Marina, and upscale dining at the Harpswell School House. The Black Sheep Wine Shop offers a plethora of options, and Uncle Pete's Community Market has everything from essentials, liquor, beer, and wine, to sandwiches, ready-made meals, and pizza. Mitchell Field, with its spectacular sand beach and home to the annual Harpswell Lobster Boat Races, is just 5 minutes from the house.
