About this property
RIVER HOUSE. Cozy Maine home. River view. Minutes from ocean, lighthouses.
River house has a loving and welcoming vibe! Love nature? Enjoy incredible sunsets from River house's upper level , a backyard that stretches forever into fields and woods. Stretch out in the sand, take a swim or climb the broad ledges of rocks on any of three nearby beaches. Beautiful Arcadia national park makes for a good day trip. Want to experience coastal seafood? It's minutes away in any direction from fine restaurants to great little carry-outs like the Owls Head General Store and the owner's favorite Rockland's Rock City Cafe. Like adventure? Book a ride on a schooner. Take a Rockport Harbor cruise. Take a ferry and spend an afternoon on a variety of islands. Visit Marshall Point lighthouse and see where Tom Hanks ended his run in the movie Forrest Gump. Climb Mount Batty for an incredible view of the Gulf of Maine. Like art? Visit the Farnsworth museum and experience the art of the Wyeth family or the many art shops lining Rockland's main street. Enjoy winter? Come relax with a cup of tea while the snow falls. Winter fun? Enjoy skiing and snowboarding at The Camden Snowbowl while taking in the ocean views, checking out The U.S National Toboggan Races in February, snow-shoeing or cross country skiing at The Camden Hills state park or enjoy something more relaxing like a show at The Camden Opera House. When the day is done and the sun has set wish for a full moon that you can watch dance across the bay and stretch its way out to sea. This is our Happy Place and we love to share it with you!
