Imagine discovering a property with three (3) dwellings nested perfectly to ensure exceptional view corridors to the sea, while also allowing a family or professional group to mingle but also elude each other.
Delight in a well-appointed, not stuffy but comfortable, secluded compound. A place you can nap after tennis, enjoy a good coffee and book, or stay up late under the stars sipping wine with old friends and laughing effortlessly.
Now consider that it’s in the most adorable seaside village in Maine. A legendary and near mythical village- with a local cast of characters not soon forgotten.
This is an extraordinary bundling of three structures on the same property. A Big House, adjacent Tiny House and a new Carriage House. This allows a pod of friends & family to gather together, dine under the moon or also isolate with their immediate family for indoor dining, etc.
Our home is airy and light-filled; south-facing with ample decks, terraces and even a rooftop lounge from which to take in the salty air and sea breezes; enjoy a shared meal al fresco or play board games with family and friends. In other words our cottage compound is designed specifically to induce relaxation and restore tranquility.
The lot sits high atop a hill in Castine with panoramic views of the bay, it is south-facing; ensuring lots of sunshine and, aside from a neighbor to the West, quiet and private -unlike most in Castine.
Eight bedrooms yet with ability to accommodate others -on fold out couches, etc -means the price/ person is cheaper that a youth hostel but as splendid as any area hotel. In other words it’s a great value, leaving plenty of hard-earned dollars left over for lobster rolls, ice cream and frozen drinks!
Simply put, it all came together in the last two years: the Tiny House (guest bedroom and/or Zoom room) and Carriage House enjoining the Big House to create an idyllic retreat space -especially during this difficult chapter we’ve all found ourselves.
Skip the elevators and daily change overs, the license plates from ‘round the country and the hustle and bustle of nearby Bar Harbor- this summer treat yourself and your loved ones to a private estate, near to almost anything you desire (tennis, golf, hiking and biking, beach fires and s’mores!) but yet far from stranger danger!
