About This Home

118 Wescott Battery is a spectacular waterfront estate located in Castine with 40.3± acres, 915± feet of shorefront on the Bagaduce River, and stunning panoramic views. The main residence is a handsome contemporary farmhouse and the property includes a classic Shingle-style guest cottage and two versatile outbuildings. Perfectly orientated to capture views of the water from every room, the main home's aesthetic blends contemporary and historic details in a pleasing combination. The formal living room is surrounded by doors and windows that open directly to the porch while exposed wood beams, wide-board wood floors, and a granite, wood-burning fireplace compliment the surrounding natural landscape. There is a formal dining room with custom millwork and a charming 'game room' that could be an additional bedroom; there is an adjacent full bath. The second floor of the home is dedicated entirely to the primary bedroom suite with a his/her bath, an office or sitting room, and good closet space. An in-law apartment over the garage and a substantial finished basement offer versatility. Accessed by a long, winding drive through open meadows dotted with small ponds, the bucolic landscape consists of rolling fields down to the water, mature trees, and an apple orchard. A dock with a ramp and float on the Bagaduce River completes this unique offering. The property contains the remnants of the historic habitat of Castine's namesake, Baron Saint-Castin. A portion of the property is subject to a Preservation and Conservation Easement held by the Castine Conservation Trust, Inc.
