About this home
A rare offering on Maine's easternmost edge, this 1.17-acre riverfront estate presents a unique blend of natural beauty, privacy, and long-term potential.
Imagine mornings filled with birdsong and mist rising over the St. Croix River. Afternoons spent watching seals while eagles glide overhead. Evenings on the deck, drink in hand, overlooking the nearby Canadian shore & the historic Saint Croix Island International Historic Site., the 6 acre island that was the site of an early attempt at French colonization.This is more than a property....it's a way of life.
This unique riverfront escape is where nature, serenity, and potential come together. Flanked by US Route 1 on one side and the St. Croix River on the other, the land offers both easy access and a true sense of seclusion. A long drive leads to a vintage 1960s cottage nestled at the water's edge, modest in scale but rich in charm and character. Inside you'll find a cozy one-bedroom layout with a full bath, small kitchen, and living area that opens to a spacious deck with commanding river views. Built in 1960 and rebuilt in 1996, it's the perfect seasonal retreat or guest quarters while you dream bigger. Up near the road, a versatile two-car garage built in 1996 includes a workshop and an unfinished apartment above—ideal for a future guest suite, studio, or rental unit. But perhaps the greatest feature here is the land itself. Gently sloping, beautifully treed, and positioned to capture expansive views of the river and sky, this parcel is ideally suited for a future custom home. Whether you envision a modern coastal retreat or a classic shingled estate, the setting offers a blank canvas for inspired living.
This is a place to slow down, to connect with nature, and to live with intention. Just 10 minutes from the conveniences of Calais, yet worlds away from the noise, this rare waterfront property offers the lifestyle so many seek—and so few ever find.
