PRIS REDUCERAD Charmig 5BR Waterfront Cape på 15 hektar stor egendom

Kom bort från allt .... hämta andan.

Sex miles från rörelsen Boothbay Harbor är ett lugnt vattnet reträtt, kallat Bold Colorful Life, som ligger bland rullande fält, meandering stenmurar och rik färgade fleråriga trädgårdar ........ föreställ dig en plats som framkallar dina mest kära minnen .. .. och ger din semester drömmar till djärvt färgstarkt liv ....
Bold Colorful Life Estate består av fyra byggnader i New England: den största bondgården och den historiska 200-årige Homer Jones-ladan; en centralt belägen trädgårdshall, omgiven av trädgårdar; en charmig, renoverad 1800-talskapa och gallerilågen.

The Antique Cape kombinerar ny bekvämlighet med sitt historiska arv, med en yttre wrap runt veranda och takkupor och en privat tillbaka däck med fin utsikt över den skumma skogsmark, hem för den tillbakadragna Lady Slipper, bland äppelträden och Galleri Barn. Inuti har den första våningen en bekväm, fullt utrustat kök, matsal och vardagsrum, alla iväg med den ursprungliga pumpa furugolv och inredda med antikviteter. Det finns också en första våningen sovrum, Garnet som har en full size-säng och privat badrum. Den Garnet och vardagsrum vetter mot innergården, bondgården och floden. En mysig dator skrymsle längst upp i trappan står också på gården och är en av de bästa platserna för att plocka upp WiFli.
På andra våningen finns ytterligare fyra sovrum med tre privata badrum. Ruby Peridot svit, en drottning säng i Ruby rummet, med ett privatliv-skuggade fransk dörr som leder in i Peridot, dubbelrum, dela Ruby Peridot badet.
Turkos, med en full ek släde-säng, som vetter över Back River Road till nio tunnland skogsmark, även med privat badrum.
Och den tredje, Butterscotch Amber sovrummet, med två enkelsängar, sitt eget vardagsrum och med det unika badet med både cvofoot badkar och dusch.

Vakna till fågelsång i äppelträden och tidig morgon dimma på Back River .... sedan göra själv gott kaffe och en rejäl och hälsosam frukost i det fullt utrustade kök i de nyrenoverade 1800-talet Cape.

Vandra 15 tunnland trädgårdar och skogsleder .... låna en sit-on-top kajak för att paddla med lokala sälar .... njut av spel, träffa våra vänliga skalliga örnar och andra critters ..... titta på de målade sköldpaddorna i Maine eller lyssna på grodor på sötvatten damm ...... vandra parkliknande grunder ..... njut av våra "skogsbadning" inbjudningar på plats ... vandra vår förtrollade stig och vår fairy promenad ... ta en coolt dopp eller segel på floden.

Uppdateras, satsning ut i Boothbay regionen att ansluta sig till en turné båt att se valar eller lunnefåglar, eller att gå lobstering, butik, visa våra många konstgallerier, prova några lokala restauranger och i allmänhet har ett minnesvärt besök. Coastal Maine Botaniska trädgården är bara 4 miles away! Så är världsklass Boothbay Harbor Country Club golfbana! Eller prova vandring på någon av de 13 konserver inom 10 miles från detta hem.

Vid slutet av dagen, tänk att komma "hem" till ett mellanmål och dryck på wrap runt veranda .... en god bok i hängmattan ..... en solnedgång genom fönstren .... och en lång , läckra sova i en av dina fem härliga sovrum med fyra privata bad, färgglada sängkläder, paddla fläktar, kabel-TV, WiFli.

Eller kom hem till en lugn kväll i ett av dina fem eleganta sovrum med fem privata bad, färgglada sängkläder, paddelfans, kabel-tv, WiFli .... i bondgården över gården.

Förnyad igen, leva din djärva och färgstarka liv!
Båda byggnaderna (den charmiga historiska Kap och den eleganta bondgården) är tillgängliga året runt.

Det är det perfekta resmålet för en personlig reträtt, familje- eller skolmöte, bröllop eller annan samlingshändelse. Se mer av googling Bold Colorful Life Estate och Retreat Center.

A magical property!

There's so much to do at this property! Hiking trails, fairy walks, kayaking, a frog pond to enjoy, and more all nestled on a quiet dead end street. The house was very comfortable for all eight of us and we could not have had a better time. Melissa is a lovely woman and a wonderful host! Anything we needed she did all she could to help us. Very happy we stayed with her at Bold Color Life!

I couldn't have asked for a better experience!

We take an annual family vacation back to N.E. to see my family. This year I wanted to spend time on the coast of Maine and spent quite some time looking for a place that was suitable for my immediate family, my dad, brother, sister-in-law and nieces. In my wildest dreams I couldn't have found a better spot. The Cape was beautiful. The property was breath taking. And Melissa, our hostess, was welcoming and awesome. She gave us an overview of the area, as well as recommendations of where to take family hikes, eat lobster rolls and get the best ice cream in town! The property was peaceful, impeccably maintained and well thought out. And my kids were thrilled with the fire-pit, as they got smores every night! I highly recommend this beautiful estate.

poorly managed

With the extraordinary number of house rules given to us by the owner we expected a clean well organized property but the owner did not confirm to her own rules. there were a dozen or so filthy mold ridden cups stacked in a basket under the coffee stand. There was a container on the kitchen island that contained utensils dirty with old grease . While cooking dinner on the outside grill the propane gas ran out after 6 minutes and everything needed to transferred into the kitchen oven. All outdoor seats had accumulated grime on them. The inside rooms were clean so it is a mystery how such unsanitary conditions went undetected in the kitchen and that the outside furniture was left uncleaned. I was able to reach the owner by phone once in 6 days but she did not return my other 3 calls. I would not return nor would I recommend anyone rent this property

Just the right selection for our entire family.

I wanted to take a few moments to share a unique and rewarding experience we encountered at the Bold Colorful Life Inn in Boothbay, Maine. Fifteen acres of pristine forest, a shoreline of unmatched majesty, and an1850’s vintage home with period antiques adorned us. Our wonderful hostess, Melissa, took the time to meet us as we arrived and shared a friendly waive and an orientation that prepared us to enjoy every detail of this incredible place and region. The home offered every nuanced convenience while accentuating the holistic period of significant historical value. Whether guests enjoy kayaking, swimming, hiking, experiencing beautiful wildlife while wandering the forest, picking berries or simply exploring the region, it all awaits. Quiet, peace, rest and uninterrupted sleep were all added experiences we encountered, as our hostess even scheduled maintenance around our quiet times. Our stay was more than a rental, it was home and a fascinating home at that. Melissa’s 18 years personally caring for this incredibly beautiful site at one with nature, shows at every turn. Well done,Melissa. Thanks for everything. Wayne and family.

Wonderful, relaxing stay in a beautiful location

We had a wonderful stay at Bold Colorful Life! From the moment we arrived to such a warm welcome from Melissa, we felt so relaxed. There is so much attention to detail and the amount of care that Melissa puts into the house and grounds is truly impressive. She gave us great recommendations for places to go and restaurants to eat. The location also can’t be beat. It is close to all of the attractions but in a wonderfully quiet place to relax at the end of a busy day. We enjoyed walking down to the river multiple times and exploring the other trails on the property as well. Thank you for a fantastic stay, Melissa! We will certainly be back.

A great riverside getaway

We stayed here with various family members (college age, teen, tween, grandma, parents). We found the property to be relaxing and a nice place to gather. The fire pit was genius and we used it several times - a great way to end our evenings. The river and kayaks were a treat. The area once you're on the water is beautiful. Just beware that this is a river - there is no beach at the water to stand or relax on, and if you hit it at low tide, there is a lot of thick mud to contend with. The house is cozy (we stayed at the smaller Cape, and although we didn't see the inside of the farmhouse, that might be a better option for a bigger group). The house was perfectly clean. The location was great - just a 10 minute or so drive into Boothbay, a quick drive to the botanic gardens. We went somewhere every day, and it was centrally located for day trips to other towns and beaches. It was a nice place to come home to and relax at the ends of our days.

We had a great time staying in the cape. The first floor bed and bath were perfect for a member of our group that doesn't use stairs. The owner, Melissa, was very informative and communicative. The grounds are beautiful! We especially enjoyed a high tide paddle on the river. Another high point was a dinner at Robinson's Wharf - a great recommendation from Melissa.

Melissa gave us a tour before our stay (virtually), and then was nice enough to volunteer a group photo at the end of our stay. We’ll stay with Melissa again!

Rest and Relaxation

This is a beautiful waterfront property set on acreage just outside of Boothbay Maine, a charming coastal town in middle Maine. The property has adorable details and the owner is generous with her time and talent and such a gracious host. There wasn't a thing we wished for the entire trip. The home is built well and coming from Atlanta we were a little concerned for a lack of central air conditioning, but it was all for nothing. The mid-summer nights were cool and refreshing and we enjoyed the open windows and sweet breezes (the owner does have air conditioning available, by the way). There was another family staying nearby but we really didn't see or hear them the whole time. We had a relaxing time in the hammocks, watching the wildlife (we did kayak with seals in the bay!) and visiting the local sights, and the evenings were cool enough for bonfires and smores. Despite the country feel to the location, we were less than 15 min from good groceries and attractions. There isn't anything better than fresh-caught Maine lobster. The wifi was consistent and strong and we were able to stay connected and work while visiting because while you want to "get away" complete disconnect is pretty unrealistic. We are thankful for the place Melissa, the owner, provided, with gracious amenities and hospitality and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone else. Sometimes when places are historic, they feel dirty but that was NOT the case here. A fresh coat of paint and attention to cleaning details left us comfortable. One thing to note is the checkout policy where you must wash and dry all linens prior to departure, planning for this policy in your travel plans. This is a unique policy to any other place we stayed.

What a fabulous time our group of 6 had at this property! Our lodgings in the beautiful farmhouse were extraordinary with such grand spaciousness. Wow, what a kitchen that we used constantly and the library room was so cozy too. All was perfect, and the setting was so peaceful. We loved walking the woodsy road and trails and simply gazing at our surroundings. It all rally fed our souls, and we all hope to return again in the future. The surrounding towns were such fun to visit and the fresh lobster and oysters were unbelievable. Book it - you will be so happy that you did!

“Delightful Maine Getaway. Location, Charm, Beauty

What a wonderful stay at this antique Cape on the 15 acre waterfront estate! It was lovely to leave the hustle-bustle of Connecticut far behind and reach midcoast Maine and this lovely site. The quiet, the sunshine and breezes, the birdsong and the far off train whistle were all relaxing components of a great getaway. I’ve been re-imagining ​coffee and conversation on the deck, looking out over the grounds to the river, ​walking through the beautiful Coastal Maine Botanical gardens, and hiking to Thomas Cove on the Bonyun preserve trail.​.. I'm remembering exploring the Boothbay peninsula and Southport island...​ What glorious beauty ... the sights, the sounds, the smells … a total sensory surround.  I think I'll make this an annual getaway! Room Tip: While the Inn is beautiful, the cottage is truly charming. Offers privacy for families and groups.

Warm, inviting, comfortable, quiet

My extended family stayed here for a week in July. Everyone loved the home, the area, and Melissa. The house has all of the needed amenities, plus oodles of charm. Melissa is gracious and very responsive to any needs or requests. She is there when you need her and appropriately out-of-sight otherwise, kind of like a fairy godmother! If you want a relaxed but interesting place to visit, this is definitely it.

Family reunion The Farmhouse and the Cape

To Melissa: Thank you so much for all your kind words and for your thoughtfulness while we were in Maine. My mother passed away last June, When we were kids, we had a cottage in Damariscotta and spent much of our summers there. Picnics at Pemaquid Point were among Mom’s favorite times. To commemorate her life, we decided to have a whole family reunion a year after her passing. We rented both the Farmhouse and the Cape to accommodate the large group. The week turned out even better than I had hoped… in no small part because of the wonderful and comfortable accommodations provided. The place is lovely. It’s clearly something that you should be very proud of: fully equipped, completely stocked, well maintained, clean and spacious. And the attention to detail is amazing. It was a joy and a surprise that even after 7 days, we’d walk into a room and see some other interesting/lovely/curious (and of course, color coordinated) item that we hadn’t noticed before! I am glad to know that my rather large crew was not an imposition or disruptive. The children are generally well behaved but with that many kids and that young, you never know!!! Their good behavior was a result of how happy they were. The spacious lawn with a range of paths weaving through the tall grass kept them running around for hours. The prospect of making ice cream one night and having s’mores at the fire pit another night also may have encouraged good behavior. I am ever so thankful to have found such a lovely and comfy place for my family to be together and to build more happy memories as we celebrated my mom’s life.

There isn't much to say other than it was just a wonderful getaway. Melissa was an informative and gracious host. The grounds are gorgeous. The cape house is quaint with old house charm.

Beautiful water front escape

We had a spectacular time at the Waterfront Cape. The house has everything one would need and a short drive into the Harbor. We spent all of our time outdoors grilling on the deck, kayaking, exploring the grounds/waterfront and enjoying the campfire. Melissa was an excellent host. She was easily accessible and accommodating during our stay and gave us the inside scoop on the surrounding area . I definitely look forward to my next trip to Boothbay as the town has so much to offer.

Great getaway adventure in Maine

What a fantastic place to stay. This house built in the 1800's is phenomenal. Quaint historical house with a property that allows you to explore and feel like you are in your own home. Would stay many times over. The house has lots of personality and can work for all types of families. Our kids ranged from 13 to 23 and all had lots to do and relax with nature while exploring the beautiful surrounding towns. Thx Melissa for being such a great hostess.

Beautiful Property, Abundant Privacy

Our family of 6 stayed in the 5 Bedroom restored Cape. We had plenty of room to stretch out and relax. The lovingly restored rooms had a great mix of old world charm and modern amenities. The beautiful fifteen acre property is situated on the Back River and has flower gardens, vegetable gardens, a stone fire pit, wild turkeys, (friendly) foxes, and if you're lucky to spot them, bald eagles. But our favorite feature of the property was its owner, Melissa. She was such a wonderful host, friendly, caring, and attentive but not at all intrusive. She gave us the inside scoop on the area, what to do and where to go based on our interests. This made our first stay in Boothbay perfect. We will definitely be back.

I’ve been saving for my ‘dream house’ for 40 years....and I fell in love with kayaking about 8 years ago. After a five year search through waterfront properties in CT, the Adirondacks, MA, NH and finally ME, this was the property that offered the combination of things I'd been seeking. And it was perfect for building vacation rentals so that the awesome environment could be shared.

The setting is idyllic...with fields, woods, many perennial gardens, apple trees, lilac trees and old stone walls wandering down to the Back River. There are 15 acres of land, facing west for sunsets, on the protected waterfront of Maine and with a big freshwater pond and woodlands. The whole estate sits atop Maine ledge, which is sculpted to fall gently towards the water.

It's in an area where I am able, in the 'off-season', to offer weekend and week-long retreats that combine personal growth, spirituality and 'back to nature' events, including hiking, paddling and exploring the nearby Botanical Gardens. And I want to share this beauty with as many people who love Nature and the wild, wonderful aspects of Maine as possible...so vacation rentals are the perfect answer.

Varför värden valde detta boende

Mother Nature has shaped this property to be both elegant and beautiful...the buildings are on the plateau at the top of the estate and the lawns and gardens, stone walls and woodlands slope gently down and down to the Back River. A great Blue Heron often visits the freshwater pond; then flies off towards the river. Our local pair of bald eagles are seen wheeling overhead regularly as the tides change. A huge porcupine was seen at the south end of the property recently and we have visits from foxes and deer, ospreys and hawks.
The property has a healing energy which most people feel the moment they step onto it. A visit here fills the vision with color, the spirits with hope and the body with calm and peace.

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

The Boothbay peninsula offers the perfect getaway. The area is naturally breath-taking, with forests and fields, farms and gardens, brash rocky coastline and gentle coves and lakes. Boothbay Harbor is a charming town with lots of engaging activities and it’s just six miles down the road. This is the area to go shopping, visit galleries and craft fairs, sample local fare at great restaurants, enjoy deep water activities like whale watching and lobster-boating.

And there are natural bonuses: 13 nature preserves for hiking within 10 miles---5 within 5 miles---one within 1/2 mile; a world-class Botanical Garden within 4 miles; kayaking possibilities in rivers and lakes and the Atlantic. We also have a world-class golf course 4 miles away.
The Rockland/Camden area and Freeport shopping are within an hour's drive in either direction; and my favorite Maine park, Acadia National Park is just under three hours away. Nova Scotia and Prince Edward island, both favorite parts of Canada, are nearby too…
The Bold Colorful Life Estate is also a Retreat Center, so plan to join us for a Retreat for personal growth, renewal and spiritual centering...The Bold Colorful Life Gallery offers colorful elegant jewelry, stunning natural photographs, and dramatic works of art in oil and pastel to our rental guests...when it's open.
