Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Michelle van Abshoven
Why they chose this property
The "Old Post Office " is located in the Sheepscot Village historic district and is nestled amount beautiful antique homes. The village lies astride a narrow point in the upper tidal section of the Sheepscot River between the towns of Newcastle and Alna. This picturesque village feels far removed yet is only a few miles from all the essentials; restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, fish markets and boutiques.
What makes this property unique
Enchanting views, easy access to the water from the yard and a wonderful screened porch for outdoor living. A great location in a small historic village with close proximity to the towns of Damariscotta and Wiscasset.
