Set atop a granite bluff overlooking the entrance to Christmas Cove and the Damariscotta River this home has spectacular and expansive southerly views. It is located on a very private, peaceful and limited access road of long time residents and classic cottages of an earlier era. Many of the homes on Sand Cove Road have been passed down through several generations which makes this a rare offering. The wraparound deck is the perfect place to watch boats sailing by during the day and to follow ship's lights passing by as they navigate under starlit skies near the islands and ledges around the mouth of the Damariscotta River and Christmas Cove. On clear days you can see Heron, Fisherman's and Damariscove Island. There is a daylight basement with room enough to store all of your kayaks, lifejackets, fishing rods and bicycles. If you need more finished room for guests there is plenty of space for that too. The living room has great views through large windows as well as a large exposed brick fireplace to keep you warm on cool summer or fall nights. The open floor plan and deck is a great space for entertaining lots of guests. You can't build a home this close to the water anymore and because this home has never been expanded there is the possibility of a 30% expansion with town approval. There are few spots with views like this in locations like this that reach the market and fewer still that have the possibilities that come with this home.
Here is your chance to own two custom-built post and beam cottages in the Mid-coast . Both cottages are one bedroom with a living area and bathroom. The cottages have deeded water access to the Damariscotta River where you can launch your kayak, swim, or relax on the shore and take in the views. The property is well maintained and there is a great spot between the cottages for a fire pit and picnic area. This location is only a 15-minute ride to Pemaquid Beach in one direction or to the shops and restaurants in Damariscotta in the other direction. This is a rare opportunity to own a seasonal home in the tax friendly sought after area along the river in South Bristol, Maine.

West facing deep water property on the Damariscotta River! Truly a rare offering, this property is located in the Walpole section of South Bristol and consists of two independent living spaces, a main house that is connected to a guest house by a sunporch offering great flexibility to suit various living situations. The approach to the property from the main road is a freshly paved lane that winds through a park-like setting of mature trees. Around the house the grounds have been professionally landscaped with masterfully constructed stonewalls and hardscape. With 5 acres of land 273 feet of waterfront, privacy is assured. The main house was built on the footprint of a previous cottage allowing it to be sited much closer to the water than can be done today resulting in a wonderful proximity to the River. The property has been exceptionally well-maintained and features include- hardwood floors, granite countertops, double sided gas fireplace, built-ins including window seats, cathedral ceilings, whole house automatic generator, mini-split cooling and heating, and oversized two-car garage/workshop with ample storage. The screen porch converts to a glass enclosure. Each structure has been designed to take advantage of the panoramic westerly views across the river and some of the best sunsets you have ever seen will be right here. Just minutes to the local golf course and the twin villages of Damariscotta/Newcastle which offers shopping, restaurants, coffee shops, library, organic food store, theater and hospital. An ideal boaters property with a deep water dock and several moorings provides access to a myriad of water sports and maritime pursuits. Run up to Damariscotta for Lunch. Fish for striped bass around the ledges or watch the seals sunbathing on the rocks. Heading down river will take you to the seaside communities of Christmas Cove on Rutherford island and East Boothbay on the western shore out to open ocean. Enjoy the benefit of low South Bristol taxes.
