If you love history – you will love this recently renovated schoolhouse. Built in 1846 with bricks made from clay dug from Salt Marsh Cove. The building has been used as a studio/gallery and is now a private residence. Currently there is a large living/dining area which has original walls with great light, new kitchen, one bedroom and new bath. A large deck off the back of the house has great light facing east. The school house sits on 2 +/- acres and is adjacent to the Colby Wildlife Preserve offering 12 acres on Salt Marsh Cove on the Damariscotta River. This was once the site of saltworks, ice works, a brickyard, ferry landing, sawmills and gristmills. A great location in Edgecomb between Boothbay and Damariscotta.
