Limited availability in July and Aug Many people have told us that our home is one of the most charming on Islesboro. The house retains the character of the original summer house built in 1908, and it sits in a very special place - a narrow peninsula of land giving the house oceanfront at its front and back. A long porch at the front of the house is just 7 feet up and 12 feet back from high tide. And the shore is actually a sandy beach, something very rare along this stretch of the Maine coast. Maine cottage built in 1908. Views of water from every room. Big deck and enclosed sunroom. Three season home. Wood stove and propane heater for chilly spring/fall mornings, no central heat or insulation. Four bedrooms upstairs - all separate spaces but simple wooden framing so very limited sound proofing. Best for a family or friends who know each other well. Entire home and property I am available be cell phone. We have family members and caretakers on the mainland who can assist if needed on-site. The front of the house faces Sabbathday Harbor & Ryder's Cove, around which cottages such as this one were built around 1900 by families coming down for the summer from Bangor on the steamboats that in those days made regular stops at Ryder's Cove. Further out on the narrow peninsula there is a rocky promontory from which still other ocean views can be had. The whole area has a magic that words cannot describe. Wonderful walks and east beach access. Car required to get from ferry to home snd to travel around the island. Concord coach lines does offer bus service to ferry in Lincolnville if you have guests joining you.
