Belfast Harbor Home Belfast Harbor Home

Located at the end of a “secret” un-noticed passageway to a point of land jutting out into Belfast harbor you will find this 5 bedroom year-round home and a 2 bedroom guest cottage. The location is special because it is directly across the harbor from Belfast’s Main Street and the moorings at the city boat landing, giving a view of the heart of the city. From the front porch you can relax in a chaise lounge and watch sailboats come and go or spot the harbor’s resident eagle fishing for lunch. The grounds include over an acre of private lawn and gardens for the hammock and outdoor dining area. There are steps to the beach below which is coarse sand and rocks along 200 feet frontage on the ocean. The main house includes a formal dining room, a living room with a fireplace, a morning sun room, a sleeping porch off an upstairs bedroom, a master bedroom with a large bathroom on the first floor and a wine cellar. The guest house is set back from the water with a long lawn sweeping down to the steps to the water. There is also storage galore with a dry cellar and a two car garage. $1,500,000.

Penobscot River Cottage Quintessential Seasonal Maine Cottage

Looking for a clean, quaint seasonal cottage on salt water in Maine for your get-away? This could be it! Perfect for writers or artists who need a quiet spot with an ocean and island view for inspiration or for a small family looking for a place to begin a summer tradition, this two bedroom cottage beckons. Clad in cedar shake shingles and perched on a ridge above the water, this cottage has a fireplace crafted from beach stones and a one car garage on a little over a half acre. Built in 1935 this two bedroom summer home has no insulation. In fact, the interior walls are painted white but you can see the stud frame of the building in every room. The cottage has town water, private septic, laundry on-site and two bathrooms with 130’ of frontage on the water. The shore is actually along the Penobscot River, but this is so close to the mouth of the river where it flows into Penobscot Bay that it is mostly salt water and is effected by the tides as if it was a few miles away on Islesboro. There are steps built for easy access to the waterfront. A short walk away is a state park along a sandy stretch of the river (great for a Frisbee game or morning jog with your pup) and also a community walking trail through a woodland area to more beach. Half a mile away is an upscale B & B (the Farm at French’s Point, www.ffpmaine.com) where a group of your visitors who prefer it can stay. $480,000.

Historic Cottage on the Bay Historic Cottage On The Bay

This unusual 5 bedroom summer cottage has been in the same family for 67 years! Located in a summer community of cottages it can never become a year round home because the size of the lot is just .1 of an acre and the water and septic systems are just in operation by the village during the warmer months of the year. Begin a family tradition of your own and spend your summers in Bayside in this 1870 cottage located so close to the ocean you can literally throw a stone from the porch into the water. Amenities include 2 bathrooms, a fireplace in the living room created with stones and shells, an icebox in the kitchen, pull-chain ceiling lights, a formal dining room and a sun porch on two sides of the building. Although many cottages in this community are built very close to one another, this 1,800 sq.ft. cottage was built beside a 1 acre community park with steps to the shore, giving it the feel of spaciousness. Bayside Village has a public dock, a swimming area, a community playground, a yacht club and a golf course with clubhouse. $729,000.

Oceanfront Condo in Stockton Springs Oceanfront Condo in Stockton Springs

If you are looking for a seasonal or retirement home with views up and down the Penobscot Bay and no lawns to mow you may be thinking about a condo. This property is in a small development with only four buildings (with 4 units per building) and located along 700' of waterfront on a 35 acre parcel of land which is partially wooded. The long access road is paved and curvy, so the development is not visible from the main road.

The 2,500 sq.ft. units contain 9 rooms (4 bedrooms and 2 and a half baths) with a view of the water from every room. Built in 2004, this development is still fresh and bright and every neighbor is a potential friend. Your morning constitutional could be a stroll around the grounds or a walk to the Fort Point State Park and lighthouse which offers access to the waterfront. Boat launch and parking is available just a couple miles away. $379,000.

Castine Historic Farm Castine Historic Farm

If you appreciate early American history, unspoiled New England architecture and sailing on Penobscot Bay this property is calling your name! Located along the eastern shore of Castine with over 700' of deepwater frontage with anchorage, this farmhouse was built circa 1765. The original 2-room four square structure was built by one of the original settlers of Castine, John Perkins, and although it has been expanded (the roof was raised three times) it retains many early 18th century features such as 6 huge fireplaces, wide pine floors, chair rails, plaster ceilings and walls, bulls eye glass, and hinges and latches made by a blacksmith. Because it has been a summer home for the last 40 years this 8 room/4 bedroom home (2,500 sq.ft.) has no furnace, no insulation and just one full bathroom. Restoration is needed in many areas. But it is an enchanting spot with 13 surveyed acres including a large meadow and a one-room rustic cottage at the water's edge (with a wood stove but no electricity or plumbing) out of sight from the main house. Writers, artists, summer seminar coordinators, families and extended families would all find enjoyment in this historically significant property following a season of renovation to prepare it for your future stewardship. $995,000.
