About This Home
As of July 2024Piper Shores Cottage is a lovingly renovated 3-season cottage perched above the water's edge and commands stunning, long southwest views across Back Bay to protected islands and ever-changing tidal waters with fabulous bird life and seals. This well-elevated, compact, and very well-kept cottage features a bright, open interior with living area (gas fireplace stove), kitchen, bathroom, and loft bedroom. A fantastic screen porch is perfect for games, dining, and watching the beautiful sunsets, while the cute bunkhouse can accommodate guests/kids. Easy access to the 200ft of shore frontage makes this the perfect spot to launch your kayak, and the serenity of this natural, peaceful, quiet setting will relax and delight you. The cozy outdoor fire pit, positioned right along the water's edge, is perfect for toasting marshmallows and making ''s'mores'' on a beautiful summer evening. The property has a grey water leach field for the sinks and shower, while the bathroom toilet uses an advanced composting system. There is not a full septic system at this time, but a town variance would likely allow one to be installed. Piper Shores Cottage is located on a rural wooded peninsula, just 10 minutes from the lovely, full-service village of Milbridge. This area is great for exploring with easy access to nearby McClellan Park, the stunning Schoodic section of Acadia National Park, the Bold Coast Hiking Trails, and many other beautiful sights. This truly is a fantastic opportunity - it's extremely rare now to find an oceanfront cottage in this beautiful area for under $300,000, let alone one as cute and turnkey as this 3-season cottage is!
