Description
Reeds Island is a spectacular historic island combining a 1960 converted 4655 +/- square foot restaurant and 2006 1,330 square foot cottage into a wonderful family compound retreat. The cottage consists of two full baths, two to three bedrooms, with an open kitchen, dining, family room area with a walkout deck sitting high over Ocean Harbor. On the opposite end is a second story tower with windows looking out to the open ocean and islands. The main house has two full baths, two half baths, a loft, four bedrooms, family room on the front side of the home. The 96 foot long ocean facing side of the home consists of one giant open-style function space with an enormous fireplace, dining, kitchen, living/family room, an additional game room all with windows facing expansive views. This property provides the utmost privacy and is accessible by car over your private causeway to the 8+/- acre peninsula. The homes are surrounded in a dramatic, jagged, coastline, with phenomenal views looking up the Damariscotta River, across to Christmas Cove, Inner Heron Island, out to open ocean, Ram Island Lighthouse, and on the other side down into Ocean Harbor back up to the Little River. Breathtaking views from both homes provide wonder and awe with all that nature has to offer, from sunrise to colorful sunsets, and extraordinary star filled nights. The island boasts a historic visit of President John F Kennedy, the first President ever to visit Boothbay Harbor during August 1962 ''Bachelor Weekend'' visit. One of the calendar of events was the hosting of the President, enjoying a lobster bake right here on Reeds Island. The property is perfect for family gatherings, exploring, entertaining as well as peaceful moments to unwind from busy schedules. Both homes are spacious and accommodating with a rustic cabin/cottage feel. Site of the former Ocean Island Inn, Reeds Island is a private, easily accessible island close to all of Boothbay Harbor amenities and the beautiful Botanical Garden
