Description
Nestled on the western shore of Beals Island, Maine, this traditional saltwater farm from the 1870s offers picturesque ocean views and breathtaking sunsets over 7 acres and 733 feet of waterfront on Hannah's Cove. The quaint 4 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom farmhouse welcomes you with warmth shared by generations of inhabitants who have left their mark through thoughtful updates while retaining its original architectural features. The cozy sunroom and woodstove are a perfect combination of warmth on winter days, and the ocean-view deck is a relaxing oasis offering cool breezes during the summer months. An inviting eat-in kitchen is the hub of the farmhouse with a spacious island, exposed timber framing, and light-filled windows. The managed meadow surrounding the farmhouse blooms with wildflowers and grasses, creating a delightful backdrop and a beautiful walkway to your private swimming ledges. The property features a timber-framed barn with plenty of room to store vehicles and tinker on projects in the workshop and is home to an insulated studio space and bathroom, ideal for guests or an income-producing rental. A few minutes walk on a private road to Sea Duck Point Preserve and a few minutes' drive to Great Wass Preserve provide plenty of hiking trails and secluded beaches to explore. While privacy is found in many places on this property, the close proximity to the village allows for convenience and comfort with the elementary school, post office, and town hall within a short walking distance. Conveying with a conservation easement that does not allow public access while protecting the scenic and rural character of one of the few remaining traditional saltwater farms along the Maine coast.
