This classic Center Chimney Cape sits atop a hill on its own peninsula, overlooking Great Salt Bay. As you drive down the half-mile private road, you'll discover a park-like estate surrounded by conservation lands, hayfields, and salt marshes along the shore of the Damariscotta River--home to Maine's remarkable oyster renaissance. Enjoy sunset views looking across the bay toward Damariscotta Mills, where the lake meets the sea. Surrounding the home are mature, meticulously planned gardens, the attached greenhouse offers a sun-drenched sanctuary perfect for year-round cultivation and the charming brick garden shed offers the perfect footprint for an artist or writer's studio. The classic cupola topped three-story barn is big enough for boats, tractors and whatever projects you can think of.
As you enter the front door, you'll walk into a bright great room featuring a brick-hearthed fireplace as its centerpiece. Step down into the atrium sitting room, or slide open the glass doors to the brick patio where you can enjoy the water breeze, the flower gardens or sit in the screen porch to enjoy the soothing sound of the garden water feature.
Back inside, the first-floor dining room boasts a beautiful bay window and sits just steps from the bright kitchen, which features a combination food prep island and pantry. . Down the hallway, you'll find a convenient powder room and the expansive first-floor bedroom suite. On the second floor, a dramatic brick archway at the top of the stairs frames a balcony alcove overlooking the living room below. Two additional bedrooms flank either end of the hallway and share a full bath, complemented by a long under-eave storage area.
Head outside again to walk along the tree-lined shore, or venture down to where the marsh joins the bay--an ideal spot to easily launch kayaks or dinghies. If you follow the path back up the hill, you'll find an entrance to the trail system connected to the local conservation trust's historic saltwater farm.
