About this House

Perched boldly on iconic Bailey Island in the coastal town of Harpswell, this property surrounds itself with crashing surf, and incredible sweeping vistas.
Safely elevated above the landscape, the cottage boasts unobstructed panoramic views that are nothing short of spectacular. Gaze out over the Atlantic Ocean, where waves crash against the rocky shore in a rhythm that's both soothing and invigorating. The beauty of each sunrise is magnified by the panoramic views across the horizon.

A rare location off Washington Street—a name that evokes a sense of coastal charm and character. The cottage rests on a double lot, a gem of a find that presents endless possibilities for expansion or customization. Such opportunities are rare , making this offering a true treasure in Midcoast Maine.

Set against this stunning backdrop, the shingle-style cottage offers three bedrooms, including a convenient first-floor bedroom providing an incredible retreat for family and friends. This property not only invites you to savor its immediate splendors but also encourages dreams to take shape. Imagine using the cottage as a serene escape now, immersing yourself in the unique atmosphere of Bailey Island living. And later, when the time feels right, crafting your own dream home that capitalizes on this remarkable setting. A true, one family retreat since the 1890's. Access only by boat, before construction of the Cribstone Bridge. Imagine who will become the 2nd owner of this very rare, special property.
