Located on Maine's spectacular Bold Coast, Beach Rose Preserve is quintessential Downeast Maine. Sited on more than 300 acres, the historic saltwater farm offers an exquisitely renovated and rebuilt antique farmhouse, an iconic post and beam barn, a gardening shed/studio building and a 2-story workshop. Enjoy views of lobster boats and the Atlantic Ocean with 710-feet of frontage on Bailey's Mistake featuring your own sand beach. The two-bedroom, two-bath farmhouse was fully renovated with incredible attention to detail. Thoughtful improvements include new foundation, heating, plumbing and electrical systems; hurricane-rated windows framing the ocean views, cathedral ceilings with exposed original beams, distressed, wide-beam hardwood flooring and antique lighting with new wiring. The open concept kitchen boasts ocean views as well as an antique farm sink and a Queen Atlantic wood stove that was fully restored and converted to a gas oven. A newly constructed first-floor primary bedroom suite is a private sanctuary with water views, gas woodstove and en-suite bath with clawfoot tub. The first floor also includes a guest bedroom, a guest bath, and a utility/laundry room with access to the attached one-bay garage. Both the two-story, dormered workshop and the one-story studio have been moved to new concrete foundations and already lines in place for future plumbing. The post and beam pegged barn offers many potential uses. All 3 buildings have new metal roofs. The acreage is a mix of meadows and mature forest with a stream and an otter pond. Beach Rose Preserve consists of two separate parcels. The house, outbuildings and waterfront meadow are located on a 154.1- acre parcel, with the majority of this protected by a thoughtful conservation easement. The abutting 174-acre wooded lot offers potential for additional buildings or recreational trails. Wonderful location near hiking, shops, restaurants and 2 airports. Dark night skies are perfect for stargazing.
Bailey's Mistake is possibly one of the most picturesque places in Downeast Maine. Now you can enjoy these views from this circa 1810's Saltwater Farm. The farm has withstood the test of time, but now need work. All the land except for the immediate 4 Ac. surrounding the buildings have a conservation easement including the ocean front lot w/ 582' on the shore. Easy access to the pebble beach for a moonlight stroll. The homestead consists of a barn w/ attached garage, workshop, studio and 2 BR cottage.
