About This Home

459 Main Road

Welcome to Maine summer living. This quintessential Maine summer cottage overlooks an expansive 1000+/- feet of waterfront along the East Penobscot Bay and with views extending towards Castine and Cape Rosier. It includes two buildings: a main cottage and a guest cottage that can also function as a boat house. As if taken right off a sailing yacht, the open timber frame main cottage is efficient, comfortable, tastefully finished and has the charm of being on a ship moored in a harbor. The galley kitchen offers ample storage and essential appliances for a summer feast. This sweet cottage also includes a living area, a bedroom with closet space, and a surprisingly roomy bathroom equipped with portable toilet. The waterside of the main cottage has floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors to maximize the view, no matter the forecast. The sleeping loft features a porthole window and a banister reminiscent of a ship's stern rail. The deck has plenty of space for outdoor living, storage for small watercrafts and is accompanied by an outdoor shower with on demand hot water. The guest cottage/boat house has sliding doors for launching and storing small boats, a king size murphy style bed and its own bathroom with a composting toilet. The kitchen sink and both bathroom sinks have manual foot pumps to provide water. The property is mostly rocky coastline inviting you to explore and beach comb your day away. A place to relax, enjoy Maine summer with simplicity. The proximity of the water is inviting, and the addition of a mooring means a mariner can flow between land and sea. Nearby public walking trails extend the outdoor space to roam in nature.
