About this home
Rarely does a property of this caliber come to market. This extraordinary, quintessential seaside cottage in Owls Head has been cherished by the same family for more than 50 years. Set on 2.23 acres with 225 feet of waterfront, the property enjoys sweeping views of Penobscot Bay, Rockland Harbor, and the iconic Rockland Breakwater, offering a front-row seat to the beauty and maritime activity of Midcoast Maine. Filled with timeless coastal charm, the classic seasonal cottage features four bedrooms and one bath, with water views from most rooms. Comfortable and inviting living spaces embrace the stunning setting, while the recently updated kitchen and bath/laundry blend modern convenience with cottage character. Additional improvements include a newer roof, updated electrical service, a newer heat pump, and a recently installed septic system designed for a 4-bedroom, year-round dwelling. Outdoor living is at the heart of this remarkable property. A deck overlooks the spacious side lawn, creating an ideal setting for summer gatherings around the fire pit, lawn games, or quiet afternoons enjoying the sea air. The lawn gently slopes toward the shore, where a path leads to a covered waterside patio perched at the water's edge. Here, sea breezes, passing sailboats, spectacular sunsets, and the ever-changing panorama of Penobscot Bay provide a captivating backdrop for relaxation and entertaining. Another path provides direct access to the shore. Thoughtfully designed yet unfussy, Maine-inspired landscaping complements the natural beauty of the setting and enhances the property's enduring appeal. A rare offering combining privacy, substantial waterfrontage, breathtaking views, and a rich family legacy, this is coastal Maine living at its most authentic--a place to gather, unwind, and create memories for generations to come....
