Imagine owning your own private peninsula, Young's Point, where truly unparalleled views and land are protected on either side by Denbow Point of Downeast Coastal Conservancy to the west and Huckins Beach & Trail of Cobscook Shores to the east. Close your eyes and listen while the gentle hush of the nearby Reversing Falls invites total relaxation. Watch loons raft up, seals frolic, and handsome fishing vessels pass on by. This 23-acre property has it all: privacy, stunning views of Cobscook and South bays, its own waterfront hiking trail, a saltwater boat launch and mooring, an orchard of fruit trees and a stunning, custom built home grandfathered just 50' from the shoreline. The sunny, one-floor-living house - with walls of floor-to-ceiling windows and a 360-degree observation tower - offers 2 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, large cedar-lined closets, and a spacious, open kitchen dining area. There is an attached 2-car garage and a separate barn for vehicles, boats, and/or tractors with a loft previously used as a wood shop. Plus two out buildings - a garden shed and a playhouse. The owner cut trees from his property to make the solid, handsome doors and cherry kitchen cabinets, but he did not have a chance to finish his dream house. Now it's your turn to choose kitchen counters and those finishing touches to your liking. There are two acres of open fields offering heirloom apple trees, a few plum and peach trees, a grape arbor and a large miniature kiwi vine. The owner kept a journal of the many trees he planted over the years. A well-maintained stub-toe trail along the water's edge has peek-a-boo water views at every step. The flora and fauna offer every shade of green with soft mosses and fern undergrowth. Join the protected American bald eagles that nest in this rare sanctuary in one of Maine's best kept secret destinations, the easternmost town of Lubec.
