About this property

Stunning Renovated Waterfront Home with Private Deepwater Dock; Windows Galore!

On the water with expansive views and a private deepwater dock on the property for your boat. This location cannot be beat. This year round home is located on Southport Island, a short five-minute drive from the hustle and bustle of Boothbay Harbor. It is perched on the edge of Townsend Gut with water views from every room. You could easily spend the entire day watching the boats travel past from the porch while listening to the seagulls sing. Robinson’s Wharf (the island’s most popular restaurant) is a short walk away. The house underwent a full renovation in early 2018 which included all new furniture/ decorations and is ready for visitors! If you need more space a seasonal cottage adjacent to this property is also available for rent on VRBO #1380743.
The main level has an open floor plan with living, dining and kitchen that look out onto Townsend Gut – the views are stunning. Three sliding doors lead to the porch that is perfect for relaxing, watching the world go by and happy hour. This level also contains a large master bedroom with a queen bed and a full wall of windows overlooking Decker’s Cove. The master bathroom has ample closet space, double sinks and walk in shower. The main floor powder room includes a stackable washer/dryer for those lucky enough for longer stays.
The upper level views rival those of downstairs with 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom with a tub shower. Two bedrooms have queen beds and the third bedroom has a pair of twin beds.
The property is stunning with new professional landscaping and ample space for lawn games or lounging under the large trees while watching the tides rise and fall. There is a private deepwater dock right in the yard if you want to bring your boat.
Southport Island is only a 5 minute drive from downtown Boothbay Harbor – just over the Townsend Gut Swing Bridge. Southport Island is close enough to Boothbay but also has its own restaurants and sites. Robinson’s Wharf, Cozy's Dockside and Newagen Inn are highly recommended restaurants on the island. Hendricks Head Beach is located on the west side of the island. Sailing, boating and kayaking are spectacular activities in and around the island. If you want to venture off the island, the Boothbay Harbor Region has extensive nature trails, lake swimming (Knickerbocker Lake), golfing, an aquarium and one of the best Botanical Gardens in the country.

** 2024: The Historic Southport Bridge will be under renovation throughout '24. During the summer months we have been told that they will be using power hand tools only and it will be down to one lane of traffic. They will be starting work in the early morning hours. Given the orientation of the house, we don't anticipate a lot of disruption to our renters but as a precaution we're adding room air conditioners to all the bedrooms to minimize any potential disturbance.

**you can also rent the 1 bedroom cottage on the property if you need more space. VRBO listing #1380743. Contact Kim for more info**

A few friends, who specialize in small Colorado and Maine real estate ownership got together to purchase this unique waterfront home and cottage in one of our favorite Maine locations. I volunteered to manage the rentals.

Why they chose this property

We love being next door to Robinson's Wharf, a renowned and family friendly restaurant with an active lobster business.
