About This Home

As of October 2021

Tip Toe Cottage is a 21± acre waterfront property on Vinalhaven with stunning western views across Penobscot Bay and Crabtree Point on North Haven to the Camden Hills in the distance. With an end of the road location and 1,720± feet of shorefront on Lighthouse Cove and Crockett Cove, the property includes a year-round, four-bedroom contemporary residence with two baths; and details such as wood paneled walls, vaulted exposed-wood-beamed ceilings, and large windows all work together to create a charming rustic flair. The property also includes a garage/workshop with a studio guest apartment above and a very spacious open garage building, approximately 2,050± square feet, that could be used for storing boats or a number of cars, with plenty of versatile space for a workshop or other pursuits. The well-designed landscape features areas of lawn interspersed with flowering gardens, stonework and natural Maine woods; and the shorefront is accessible and attractive with ledge, a sand and pebble beach and a deep-water dock. A portion of the property is protected by a conservation easement held by the Vinalhaven Land Trust.
