About This Home

''Idlewild'' is a quintessential saltwater cottage / camp perched on a massive, granite boulder outcropping overlooking Pleasant Beach and the Mussel Ridge channel and islands beyond. Come disappear from the world and really get-away from it all in this 100% authentic Maine waterfront retreat. Live simply and purely from this mostly untouched property, built in 1965. Property features an open, vaulted living area with picture windows that capture the views and sunlight, handsome wood paneling throughout, and a wood stove for cooler fall evenings. An oversized deck running the length of the home offers vistas as far as the eye can see along with multiple lounging and al fresco dining options. If you are looking for a real Maine cottage experience centrally located and convenient to Rockland and Camden, this is an ideal spot.
