Authentic Generational Lobster Fishing Home with Light House Views

Step into authentic Downeast Maine living at this charming Cape-style waterfront home, once owned by Walter, a lifelong commercial lobster fisherman. Today, his son continues the tradition of welcoming guests to experience the beauty, culture, and rhythm of a working fishing harbor.

Set directly on the water at Petit Manan Point, the home offers sweeping panoramic views of the open bay, distant islands, and an active lobster fleet. From the deck, watch colorful buoys drift across sparkling waters as boats travel in and out of the harbor throughout the day. The setting captures the essence of coastal Maine—evergreen-lined shores, open ocean, and a harbor that remains very much alive.

Guests can relax to the natural sounds of the shoreline, seabirds, and working boats. In the evening, the distant flash of Petit Manan Lighthouse adds a memorable touch to the horizon.

The home features three bedrooms (two upstairs and one downstairs) and two full bathrooms, with one on each level. Inside, you’ll find ash wood floors throughout and a full kitchen designed for comfort and function, complete with custom ash cabinetry, granite countertops, and high-end appliances. A spacious porch provides the perfect place to take in the ocean air and experience the sights, sounds, and atmosphere of the coast.

This is more than a place to stay—it’s a front-row seat to a way of life that has been part of this harbor for generations. The surrounding waterfront continues to reflect the traditions, stories, and daily rhythms of a working fishing community.

Located just outside the front door are scenic coastal lands, including Petit Manan National Wildlife Refuge and Pigeon Hill Preserve, offering opportunities for hiking, wildlife viewing, and exploring the rugged shoreline. The nearby All Souls by the Sea Chapel is open to visitors during the summer months.

A short 15-minute drive brings you to Milbridge, a historic shipbuilding town with local shops, restaurants, a full grocery store, pharmacy, library, and a museum highlighting the area’s maritime heritage.

The home includes Wi-Fi and essential modern conveniences while maintaining its connection to the surrounding landscape and traditions. It is well suited for families, couples, and anyone seeking a quiet, authentic coastal Maine experience.
