Perched on the hill ,this waterfront cottage has been lovingly maintained and enjoyed by the same family since it was built. Boat enthusiasts take note of the opportunity for obtaining a deep-water mooring in Mackeral Cove. 4 bedrooms with 2 full baths provide space for all. A new 4-bedroom septic system installed in 2026. Lovely updated kitchen and large living room with cathedral ceilings. Warm wood walls and floors throughout the cottage. A deck spans the width of the cottage and is the perfect place to sit and enjoy company, the water view and the night sky. Find your special spot in Maine.
