Waterfront Retreat WITH SEPARATE GUEST SPACE WITH BATH and electric HEAT directly on Gouldsboro Bay. Move right into this immaculate cottage tucked among tall trees, where Bald Eagles are frequent visitors and nature surrounds you. Enjoy peaceful sunrises with your morning coffee from the elevated deck, catching summer breezes and tranquil views. Launch your kayak straight from your own property, or access the public boat launch just ½ mile away for bigger water adventures. The main cottage offers bright, open living, and there's a private guest space above the garage—approximately 576 sq. ft. —perfect for visitors, a studio or children activity space. This is more than a home—it's a lifestyle. Whether you're relaxing on the deck or paddling into the sunset, this is the place to truly unwind. This house is set closer to water than permissible under current law (grandfathered) and qualifies for expansion by about 30% along the water. New Kitchen with granite countertops; new appliances! Freshly painted.
