About This Home
1588 Turtle Head Road is a premier waterfront retreat with stunning western views across Turtle Head Cove and Penobscot Bay, back towards Belfast and the Camden Hills. The property includes a beautifully renovated mid-century modern home with two bedrooms and a spacious, open floor plan designed to capture natural light and maximize the water views. There is also a versatile garage/barn with a fully redone one-bedroom guest apartment above, perfect for hosting extended family and friends. Recent improvements can be found throughout the property, including a new sauna, and it has been very well-landscaped with lawn and gardens, professional stonework, and 328± feet of shorefront with a sand and pebble beach area. An all-new, granite deep-water pier with three moorings - a two ton, a four ton, and a six ton appropriate for a 100-foot sailboat - make this an ideal island retreat with convenient access to the mainland and the excellent boating in Penobscot Bay.
