395 Port Clyde Rd Tenants Harbor, ME 04860

If you know the St. George Peninsula, you've likely found your way to Martinsville—and if you've found Martinsville, you've surely met Seaward. That sweet little cottage sheltered by pine-cone-laden firs, with sheets snapping on the line in the salt wind. The one with the blue door, the whitewashed outbuilding, and window boxes spilling over with bright red geraniums.Seaward has long been part of the authentic fabric that knits this remarkable community together, and its unpretentious simplicity is nothing short of delicious. Tucked just off the shore, 395 Port Clyde offers just over 9 acres—a rare dream in these parts—yours to wander, woods and all. The original house, built in the late 1800s, is in many ways a time capsule of the classic Maine cottage aesthetic: purposeful, essential, and austere in the very best sense. In the 1990s, an ell and connecting building were added, designed to honor and enhance the home's original character. When we first stepped inside Seaward, a line from an old favorite poem rose to mind: 'The point of simple living, for me, has got to be: a soft place to land, a wide margin of error, room to breathe, and lots of places to find baseline happiness in each and every day.' That is exactly how this home feels—how it lives and breathes with an artisanal rusticness that is all its own. This is a place to find joy in the quiet moments and to rest deeply at the end of the day. And that—by any measure—is perfection in its truest form.
