About This Home
They say all the best spots were built on 50 years ago—this is one of them.
Built in 1976 on the eastern shores of Bailey Island, this one-of-a-kind property offers a truly irreplaceable setting. With 200 feet of waterfront, a private pocket beach, and breathtaking sunrises over the open ocean, the views here are vast, ever-changing, and absolutely magical.
The home enjoys rare grandfathered year-round status—continuously occupied for nearly five decades. Each owner has made thoughtful improvements, enhancing both its structural integrity and overall livability. Today, it stands as a remarkable opportunity ready for your final vision.
The property is currently under construction, having been completely rebuilt with top-tier materials, including steel beams, remote-controlled storm shutters, all-new windows, and more. The heavy lifting was done by a well respected builder Paul Smith. What remains is for you to finish it to your taste and style.
Additional highlights include a detached two-car garage with a studio, a private garden, and the serenity and seclusion only found in a setting like this.
This is a rare chance to create your coastal dream home on one of Maine's most coveted islands. Don't miss the opportunity to make this incredable property into your dream home.
