Private Beach, ideal water's edge beach house, best wraparound views! | House in Owls Head
3 Bedroom House in Owls Head
A classic, charming, private water's edge house with rare and spectacular wide open views of the ocean, near & distant islands & easy access to a private beach. Ideally located on the point, the recently renovated sun filled house sits privately amidst green lawns on a rise just 20’ from the water's edge. A quiet, larger rare property boasts wraparound water frontage along a curving shore and beach. Marvel at the ever-changing seascape while you enjoy your morning coffee, dine al fresco on the deck, warm yourself in the sun or take a nap at the water side deck in the shade of towering spruce trees. Relax in Adirondack chairs on the lawn & watch the parade of boats sail by. Enjoy quiet privacy. Swim at the beach at the house, clamber down the rocks for a swim, search for beach glass and explore tidal pools. Watch your children spend hours digging in the sand while still relaxing in the Adirondack chairs! Take a stroll down the road to Crescent Beach for more beach fun.
This sunny year-round Maine house is fresh, clean & comfortable with breathtaking views inside & out. There is plenty of comfortable seating in the living room where wrap windows to the south, east and west bring in the drama of the oceanfront setting. Here, it is always amazing how the colors and the light are forever changing. The proximity to the water brings the soft and soothing sound of gentle waves and cooling breezes even on the hottest days of summer. It is possible to have the best sleep here. Each bedroom has water views, comfortable beds & fresh cotton linens.
Perfect for an unforgettable vacation
This property occupies a rare private position on the shore unobstructed by trees that are plentiful elsewhere, this hard-to-find property boasts panoramic views of the open ocean, Muscle Ridge Channel and the islands that dot the coast all the way into the distance. From around the point to the left you can see all sorts of boats traveling up and down the coast from kayaks to schooners and then watch them recede into the far distance.
The fully equipped and well lit kitchen and the dining room with a breakfast bar in the dining area, accommodate cooking and gathering while being convenient to the deck for grilling and outdoor dining.
For indoor entertainment, there is a television, wireless internet, books about Maine, games and puzzles. Outdoors on the lawns, you can play croquet, badminton and, other games on the lawn, or just relax siting in the chairs or enjoy a shady retreat on the deck that is 10' from the water's edge.
We love swimming at Crescent beach in late afternoon light or to launch kayaks to explore the shoreline. Bike, walk or drive 1 1/2 miles to the Owl's Head Light house for amazing views or for an easy hike. Head 1 mile down the road to the Owls Head General Store for their famous "Seven Napkin Burger" (voted Maine's best Burger), Fried Haddock Sandwiches, delicious home made pizzas, or for your morning coffee and fresh baked blueberry muffins.
In the water close by is a boulder, called a glacial erratic, that re-appears sitting on the sand when the tide goes out, dividing an arc of long low waves. Small rocky Treasure Island is a gem in the morning sun picturesque with its, stand of spruces and an ancient lobsterman’s shack. This is the evocative shore-scape view which can be recognized in numerous 19th c. paintings of the Maine coast.
The house sits on over an acre of land, and along with the sandy beach, this rare combination is part of what makes this property so special. You experience the relaxation of being far away, with the convenience of the town of Rockland only 7 minutes away. On a cloudy or rainy day, we love to visit the many art galleries throughout the town, the Farnsworth Museum, the Maine Center for Contemporary arts, stop at one of the may cafe's for coffee and a bite, or choose from the numerous restaurants for dinner.
We are happy to offer our guests information about the many hidden gems that has made our time in Maine so memorable.
Please note- this is a no pet, no smoking property.
