About This Home

A rare chance to own a piece of Maine's bold coast on beloved Cliff Island. Just feet from the ocean's edge, this traditional two-bedroom cottage sits on dramatic rocky shoreline with unobstructed 180+ views of open ocean and A once-in-a-generation opportunity to own nearly 60' feet of private, direct ocean frontage on Cliff Island—just minutes from downtown Portland. Set high on a rocky point with no immediate neighbors in sight, this charming two-bedroom cottage offers unobstructed 200+ views spanning the open Atlantic, surrounding islands, and the inner waters of Casco Bay. Waves crash just feet from your front deck in one of the most dramatic and peaceful coastal settings anywhere in Maine. The home itself is untouched in the best possible way—retro-cool, with original charm, unspoiled rooflines, and a nostalgic vibe that hasn't been compromised by decades of misguided renovations. It's ready to enjoy exactly as it is—like stepping back in time—yet also serves as a blank slate for those looking to restore or reimagine while honoring its soul. You could never build this close to the water again. Cliff Island is the quietest and most pastoral of all the islands serviced by Casco Bay Lines—unchanged, uncrowded, and unbelievably close. Just a short walk from the ferry landing, this property offers the kind of raw beauty, privacy, and connection to nature that is simply irreplaceable. A timeless retreat. A rare investment. And an affordable, accessible chance to own Maine's bold coast—up close and unforgettable.
