Description

Welcome to this 1960s midcentury modern gem, a unique 2-bedroom, 3-bath retreat tucked down a quiet dirt way and surrounded by trees. While the home is easily walkable into town via sidewalk, it still feels wonderfully private, offering a peaceful setting for your Maine summer getaway.
Originally built as a military gathering place, the home features a distinctive, non-traditional layout that adds character and charm. Large windows frame beautiful nature views in every direction, and the spacious second-floor deck is perfect for enjoying Maine’s warm summer days—whether you’re sipping morning coffee, reading in the sun, or gathering for an evening meal outdoors.
The home is family-friendly and well stocked for guests of all ages, with toys, games, beach gear, a crib, and a highchair available. For added peace of mind, the indoor spiral staircase is safely baby-gated.
This property makes an ideal home base for exploring Midcoast Maine. From here you can easily visit Rockland and Boothbay Harbor in about 45 minutes, Camden and Portland in roughly an hour, or even plan a day trip to Acadia National Park. Closer to home, enjoy a five-minute drive (or 20-minute walk) to Damariscotta Mills Beach for refreshing freshwater swimming. Pemaquid Beach is just a scenic 20-minute drive away, and nearby trails such as Dodge Point and Mills Overlook offer beautiful hiking.
Food lovers will also feel right at home—Glidden Point Oyster Farm, Oxbow Brewery, The Alna Store, Shuck Station, River House, and Round Top Ice Cream are all just 5–10 minutes away.
Whether you’re here for beaches, oysters, hiking, or simply relaxing on the deck surrounded by trees, this unique midcentury retreat offers the perfect setting for a memorable Maine summer vacation.
