The cottage is on a private half-acre lot, which abuts a small Audubon sanctuary. The first floor is an open concept design. There is a sitting area with a stereo CD player, a living room with a wood stove, a television with VCR, a dining area, and a well-appointed kitchen. There are newly finished hardwood floors, and water views from every area. On the ocean side of the house, the front door leads to a large screened-in porch. The porch wraps around from the western side of the house (which faces the water) to the southern side, and has over 500 square feet of screened-in outdoor living and dining space. Pets considered on an individual basis.
The property has a large private dock, ramp, and float with a swim ladder. The float provides a very stable 200 square feet of space -- about 100 feet away from the shoreline; it will easily accommodate half a dozen people. Chairs suitable for use on the float are provided. The float easily accommodates a 20-foot boat. The property is shaded by oak, pine, and cedar trees. There is a horseshoe pitch, a hammock, and Adirondack chairs located by the water's edge. Kayak rentals, instruction, and moonlight excursions are available a short distance up river. Powerboat rentals are also available on the river for the experienced boater
The westward-facing cottage affords spectacular sunset views, and relatively dark evening skies for stargazing. A quick walk from the cottage will lead you to the entrance of the Hamilton Audubon Sanctuary. This is a largely undiscovered nature area, which is maintained by an on-site custodian and has over 50 acres of trails and fields that wander through the property and along the shoreline of the Back Cove. Travel time to Bath is a little under ten minutes, Brunswick a little over ten minutes, Freeport is about 20 minutes away, and Portland is approximately 30 to 35 minutes south. The Bath/Brunswick area of Mid Coast Maine is notable for its extremely varied coastline. Reid State Park and Popham Beach State Park are two of Maine's most outstanding beaches, and are located on nearby Georgetown and Phippsburg Islands. Harpswell, Arrowsic, Orr's, Hermit, and Bailey Islands are all within easy driving distance from the cottage.
