A distinctive coastal Maine compound offering craftsmanship and flexibility on two wooded acres. Within walking distance of the ocean, the property includes a newly built 864-sq-ft, 1-bed/1-bath timber-frame home; a restored 324-sq-ft carriage-house guest studio with a full bath; a 168-sq-ft bunkhouse; wood-fired sauna; and utility buildings. Together, the three independent structures provide three bedrooms and two full baths—ideal for guests, multigenerational living, creative work, or rental flexibility. The south-facing main home features exposed timber framing, vaulted pine ceilings, oak floors, abundant light, and an open kitchen, dining, and living area. A wraparound deck overlooks the spruce forest, while a dual-zone heat pump and wood heat provide year-round comfort. Once a Model T garage, the restored carriage house offers vaulted ceilings, red-oak floors, and whitewashed finishes. The powered, heated bunkhouse works equally well as a guest cabin, office, or studio. A mossy forest path leads to a wood-fired sauna on a hand-laid stone foundation. Apple trees, lawns, garden potential, a wraparound drive, and mature woods complete the setting. Minutes from Spruce Head, Rackliff, and Clark Islands—and about 15 minutes from Rockland—this is a rare blend of character, coastal proximity, and independent living space.
