About This Home
As of August 2020You'll be one of the lucky ones; directions to your house in Maine will read '...drive just 5 miles off the main road and then, follow the private road under a canopy of towering pine trees; you'll know you have arrived when the road ends at the ocean. If we aren't up at the house, come down to the beach or the end of the wharf – we might be fishing.' Cottage Road has been the respite for a family who loves the outdoors, salt water, boating and privacy. With almost 3 acres of land, 381 feet of pristine waterfrontage complete with a sandy beach and water-worn rocks perfect for exploring, a wharf and 3 moorings it is hard to imagine a more ideal place in Midcoast Maine. There are views from virtually every room in the house – each bedroom (one on the first floor and two on the second) has direct access via sliding doors to decks that overlook the water. The house is open concept with vaulted ceilings, a stunning granite fireplace and floor to ceiling windows. And just outside the front door, tucked into the woods, is a traditional sauna. Only 10 minutes from the conveniences of Thomaston and Rockland, this family compound has room to grow; take a boat ride down the river (you'll pass working lobster boats and sailboats along the way) to have dinner in Port Clyde or Tenants Harbor, kayak from the beach or fish from the wharf. St. George River is a saltwater way beginning in Thomaston and ending at the tip of the St. George Peninsula where it meets Muscongus Bay, the Mussel Ridge Channel and the islands that dot this extraordinary part of Maine. Cushing is unspoiled and discrete; renowned for being the inspiration for Christina's World, the famous painting by long-time resident and beloved American artist Andrew Wyeth. Just under 2 hours to Portland International Jetport (or 20 minutes from the Knox County Regional Airport) makes access easy. More than anything, at the end of the day time slows down here for sure and that is often just what the doctor ordered
