Maine Historic Oceanfront property - Near Camden - Family Friendly

Perfect retreat from this busy world. 1850's peaceful house on 5 acres on the oceanfront with a barn. The house is at the top of the property and you walk down the property to a bluff looking out over the Penobscot Bay. The house sleeps 8 in four bedrooms, 10 if the pullout couch in the sunroom is used. Two bathrooms, one with a tub/shower combo and the other one has a shower. There is a living room and dining room, in addition to the island seating in the kitchen.

Green Tree Coffee Roasters, featured in the NY Times, is across the street. Nothing can compare to waking up downwind on a roasting day. Dots bakery and gourmet sandwich shop is a couple doors down - perfect for a picnic lunch, quiche breakfast or a perfect wine. Walk down the property with stair access to the ocean (0.5mi) and then walk down the rock beach to Lincolnville Beach - my kids favorite. Or just relax in the Adirondack chairs and watch the boats. Walking distance to the Islesboro ferry - take a day trip to this beautiful island. Our home is rustic but we enjoy finding ways to revive it and have enjoyed putting our own touch into the house. We have done a lot of renovating this year! We have a new whole house water filter which does an amazing job combined with fresh Maine well water. The kitchen now has an island and butcher block counter tops. The windows in the kitchen and room above have been replaced.

The kitchen has a big bay window and window seat which is perfect for relaxing. For those who love cooking, the kitchen is equipped with a professional gas stove with a double oven

There is a dining room and living room as well as the library bedroom, which has a queen bed. The downstairs bathroom has a shower. The upstairs features beautiful 12" pumpkin pine boards. The upstairs has three bedrooms and a full bath with a tub. In total, four bedrooms and two bath. Plus a pull-out bed in the sunroom. The sunroom entry which leads out to the back yard.

The back yard leads down to a bluff, which looks out onto the ocean with a firepit area and Adirondack chairs. The are steps which lead down to the ocean front. The coast here is typical Maine with large rocks and big tidal swings. If one is looking to swim we are less than a half mile from one of the few sandy beaches in Maine, Lincolnville Beach. This beach is a great way to spend the day or you can lauch kayaks and paddle boards from the town ramp there.

Our barn is still pretty rustic and has its own unique history. Jane Wazey, a previous owner used the barn as her art studio and carved the Andre the Seal statue here. The statue is located in Rockport Harbor. If you are not familiar with the story about Andre the Seal, he lived with a local family and would return every year. It is worth reading the book or watching the movie before you come visit, especially if you have young children.
