About This Home

As of August 2025

STUNNING PANORAMIC VIEWS OF RACHEL CARSON ESTUARY, TIDAL RIVER AND OPEN OCEAN BEYOND; from almost every window of this active & passive solar home. Perfectly oriented on a 2+ acre lot to provide privacy, perfect southern exposure and south facing windows overlooking hundreds of acres of amazing vistas. Sited 30' above sea level, this solidly constructed and beautifully designed 3,450 sq ft. home is ideal for both entertaining and comfortable family living. In the morning, you'll experience beautiful sunrises over the expansive marsh and water vistas. During the day you'll find solace and tranquility as you watch wildlife; from soaring eagles, to shorebirds, to deer crisscrossing the Rachel Carson sanctuary and adjacent 25-acres of conservation-protected fields. This super-insulated home was designed by a prestigious Solar Company and constructed by Spang Builders. Recently the entire roof and solar system was replaced, now providing its owners with total electric bills of 440/year (including heat & EV charging). The home offers a first-floor primary suite (for easy single floor living), 2 guest rooms & loft office (w/amazing views) on the second level and a rec room w/bath in the (huge) full dry basement. Despite its remarkably private location, the house is minutes from the restaurants, shops, beaches and marinas of Kennebunkport. It also has easy access to I-95, Amtrak, Portland and is only a 90-minute drive from Boston. This one-of-a-kind property is a must to consider for the discriminating person seeking a lovely environmentally planned home with privacy, sensational views, and ample living space. The videos attached give a nice perspective of the views (done in 2018 prior to the new roof and new solar panels) and on the interior floor plan.
