About this property

Private Water Access and Dock, Amazing Sunsets and Ocean Views in Historic House


**LAST MINUTE LUCKY Now offering a special for week of August 23rd, 20205 as we had a cancellation***

Our family house, 'Treetops' sits on a hill overlooking the ocean and Harpswell Sound which is part of Casco Bay. With a large wrap-around porch, it is the perfect place to enjoy cocktails on a summer evening and watch the sun set over the Sound in front of you and Mount Washington, NH in the distance. This is the place to create unforgettable family memories!

Our house sits on Beal's Cove, part of Harpswell Sound, giving guests a perfect protected cove to play around in the water. There is a small deck situated on water's edge allowing for a wonderful picnic or viewing platform as the kids swim out to the float,frolic in the water or skip rocks to their hearts content. This is also a perfect launching pad for canoes, kayaks, and boats. A larger dock is also available for water access.

The house was built in the early 1900's, but renovated kitchen and bathrooms offer modern day comforts to complement the old Maine charm. Rooms include a den/study, living room, separate dining room, and the new spacious eat-in kitchen - all with great water views! Also, the house offers plenty of sleeping space (see above). Working fireplace in living room and gas fireplace in kitchen take the nip out of potentially chilly mornings or evenings. Family photos and details throughout.

Also offers abundant land for outdoor games & shared tennis court.

Buy some lobsters from the local lobstermen and cook up a meal that you will never forget. Don't be surprised if you don't want to leave the house all week! Plenty of sleeping space, makes it perfect for a family reunion or get-together with friends. There are four bedrooms, 1 with queen bed, 1 with full bed, 2 with 2 twin beds. Plus 1 bunk room with 6 bunks - perfect for kids of all ages. Food/grocery and sundries stores are easily accessible.
