About This Home

As of October 2021

Some of this area's most spectacular sunsets are enjoyed though the south-westerly windows of this 3.5 acre sanctuary. A classic brick estate set on 1,000 feet of the Spurwink River salt water tidal stream... your sprawling back yard seamlessly blends into the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge becoming an access point for your kayak, canoe or paddle board. Drift your way to Higgins Beach and eventually into the ocean surf. The 12-room home sits on a hill offering a sweeping choice of views from every room, especially your in-home office. Work is relaxing here and productivity may wane while watching the occasional herd of deer graze, or as you follow the otter, mink or fox tracks in the snowfields... but, who cares? This is more than home; this is where your life is lived to its fullest! It's a place where those you care most about can see their dreams suddenly become reality. The barn at the water's edge holds everything you can possibly imagine for fun and recreation. Step outside to world class striper fishing and bird watching. It is just you and nature here, so cross country skiing and snow shoeing could be your only to-do list. This is the culmination of all good things. It is the smell of fresh baked bread and a great cup of coffee while you watch the seasons change before your eyes. Welcome to Maine at its finest! Welcome home.
