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 house 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 composting toilets. 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. 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. Sailboat is negotiable.
