We knew this home for over a decade before it became ours; it was built by a good friend in the area.
This is an absolutely unique property, located so close to town, yet on a peaceful bayside road; 3.5 acres with its own oceanside nature preserve and a sand beach, so rare in Maine. In 2020 we built a gazebo, which we also share with guests! It truly is a paradise.
One feels in touch with the infinite here, in the most intimate way. Sunrises, dramatic cloud patterns and sunsets spread across the horizon. During the day, the water views go all the way out to sea; and there is the wooded Point, and sand beach, right here on the property. Eagles, hawks and ospreys circle high above, gulls soar, songbirds chatter in the trees closer by. Wildlife includes foxes and bobcats as well as more familiar animals. To go outdoors on a clear night is to be surrounded by a bowl of stars, that become brighter and more numerous the longer you look.
The 5,500 SF Cape Cod style house was built in 2002 as a dual-use facility: a private home, plus an attached, flexible, handicap-accessible apartment that's a completely independent living/rental unit. The house is conveniently close to the road for walking, biking, and winter access; while the broad field behind it has water views and the gazebo, and provides a scenic entry to the footbridge that leads to the serenity of the Point.
We run a small local arts institute, and are especially happy to welcome artists of all stripes who want to get away for Creativity Retreats.
