This exceptional property offers a rare blend of natural beauty and coastal living. Nestled just five minutes from the historic charm of Bath, ten minutes from Bowdoin College, and twenty minutes from stunning Popham State Beach and Reid State Park, this property strikes the perfect balance between seclusion and convenience.

An on-demand generator adds an extra layer of peace of mind. A spacious cement basement offers ample storage and utility space. The attic features sufficient ¾" tongue-and-groove solid teak flooring, providing the potential for a beautiful future studio or creative space, with possible build up potential for future expansion.
