About This Home

As of November 2017

Bufflehead feels like a vacation house in Maine should; breezy & light-filled with 200 ft of waterfront on Seal Cove reflecting on the vaulted ceiling above the massive stone fireplace. It feels like home & an escape all at once, a combination rarely found. Located on Spruce Head Island (easily accessed by car), Bufflehead provides the unique experience of island living with easy access to local amenities. Lovely guest suite over the 2 car garage. Robust rental history, guest suite, dock possible.
