This enchanting waterfront retreat is your opportunity to experience the very best of the Maine coast, now at an incredible price. Imagine waking to the scent of salt air, launching your kayak from your own shoreline, and ending the day beside a crackling fire as the sounds of the woods settle in around you. Tucked away at the end of a quiet country road along the shores of Long Cove, this magical property offers the kind of peace and privacy that's becoming harder and harder to find. The year-round log cabin is warm and inviting, featuring soaring vaulted ceilings, open-concept living, and a remarkable floor-to-ceiling granite fireplace crafted from remnants of the area's historic granite industry. Every detail feels authentic, timeless, and perfectly suited to life on the Maine coast. Need room for guests? The separate seasonal cottage is ideal for family and friends, a creative studio, or your own private escape. A detached two-car garage provides plenty of storage for kayaks, paddleboards, bikes, and everything that comes with coastal living. Spend your days exploring Long Cove by kayak or paddleboard, take the short trip to nearby Clark Island for sandy beaches and scenic hiking trails, then return home to gather around the campfire under a sky full of stars. Whether it's a summer getaway or a cozy winter retreat, this property is designed to be enjoyed in every season. If you're dreaming of a turnkey escape, you'll love this: the sellers are open to conveying many of the furnishings with an acceptable offer, making it even easier to settle in and start enjoying coastal life from day one. Best of all, you'll feel worlds away while being just one mile from the charming village of Tenants Harbor and only 15 minutes from Rockland. This isn't just a home; it's the Maine lifestyle you've been waiting for.
