Property Description
An early 1900's picturesque shingled cottage on the ocean's edge with dramatic views and prime deep water frontage combine for the quintessential Maine property. This seaside cottage is nestled in the woods just off the beaten path and is ideally situated to take full advantage of spectacular ocean views. The easily accessible nearly 500 feet of exceptional shoreline consists of rocky ledges, distinctive rock outcroppings, and an extensive pebble beach.
The cottage is the perfect blend of old-fashioned charm with added modern conveniences for a summer getaway or seasonal retreat. This cozy cottage consists of 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a bonus room for flexible uses, and an open concept kitchen, dining area, and living room. A spiral staircase affords easy access to the upper and lower levels of the cottage. The numerous windows on the cottage's primary ocean side provide for extraordinary views plus the sights and sounds of crashing surf. A walkout basement was placed under the cottage in 2008. This lower level unfinished space offers a variety of future opportunities to complement existing living areas of the cottage. The primary infrastructure needs of the cottage have been addressed, with the new owner having the opportunity to complete the final finish work to their liking.
The bucolic setting offers mature woodlands and ample acreage to ensure privacy in a natural environment. This property is a rare find in today's marketplace given the cottage's close proximity to the ocean, accessible shoreline, priceless views, and bold ocean frontage.
The Machias Bay area is the perfect spot for residents and visitors to enjoy a wide-range of outdoor activities such as kayaking, sailing, hiking, and biking. Nearby Jasper Beach with its unique jasper stones plus crashing surf and Roque Bluffs State Park with its highly acclaimed half-mile sand beach are local treasures.
Machiasport is located about 10 miles from Machias which serves as the service center for the area.
