About the host
Hosted by Paula Aschettino

We purchased this beautiful home in Maine after seeing the views and loving older new England style homes. Capt. Proctor, the former owner, was a Navy man and merchant marine and owned this home for many years with his wife Daisy. Capt. Proctor was well known in the area and many of his belongings and writings are located in the Gates House on Rt 92 Machiasport. We have 5 acres of land and 300 ft of oceanfront.
I, Paula, grew up in Wayland MA and have always enjoyed oceanfront property with our family owning a home in Eastham MA on Cape Cod Bay. Some of my relatives came from Etna Maine and being a Marston, I feel there is a connection to this area.
In our back yard at the Capt. House is a grave of a 10 yr. old girl, Emma Ida Kinghorn, who passed from this life in the 1800's.
We deeply care for the wonderful people an this peninsula and the past inhabitants.
Michael is from Rochester NY, a sales engineer and now retired. He has a great love of the sea and interest in sailing and building small boats.
I am a former Registered Nurse, Real Estate Broker, and artist. We are happy to share our home with others and know they too appreciate the beauty of nature, non commercialism of this special area and respect to both animal and neighbor.

Why they chose this property
The Vista from my property of the ocean and fields is so beautiful. There is a large private stone beach with access off a narrow way which runs along my shorefront. Neighbors from the western side of the peninsula travel across this dirt way to get home. This is a rural area with homes given much privacy. Lovely people and a peaceful place.
What makes this property unique
Views unsurpassed, large beach for exploring, road paths to explore as well as my 5 acres. A beautiful older home updated with many areas to spread out.
Kitchen supplied with spices and all one needs- my dishwasher is portable at this time- the beautiful view from my sink of the ocean invites dishwashing!
A large deck off the kitchen gives a gathering place with tables and chairs for hours of relaxation facing south, sunshine and ocean views and watch lobster boats.
Kayak the ocean- you can rent these in Machias at Sunrise Kayak - they deliver to you. Waters here are cold-
