Pointed Fir Cove: Stunning Ocean Front Maine Retreat for Discerning Vacationers! | House in East Boothbay

This is vintage Maine – a grey shingled cottage, surrounded by fir trees, perched on the ocean’s edge with boundless ocean, coast and distant island views. You’ll hear no sound other than the crashing surf, sea gulls and circling ospreys. The sun rises majestically each morning, flooding the rocky coves with vibrant reds, oranges and yellows that merge to daylight and signal the coming of lobster men pulling their traps. Enjoy sightings of marine life, wild turkeys, deer, fox and our resident osprey with annual new baby chicks. Like Maine itself, life at Pointed Fir Cove is the way life should be…
This private 7 ½ acre oceanfront estate provides 180 degree open ocean views and is the perfect base for sailors, boaters, nature enthusiasts and families escaping daily stress. In addition to the amazing ocean and coastal views, a perennial fresh water stream empties into the ocean from one of our private coves. Depending on the season, rain and Spring snow melt, the cove can be a gentle running stream or a small waterfall emptying into the ocean. While privacy abounds, you’re within two miles of the East Boothbay General Store and two great restaurants and just 5 miles to the charming sites and activities of downtown Boothbay Harbor and a large grocery supermarket. The property offers a 4 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath main house and a 2 bedroom, 1 bath guest cottage. A large rock formation and trees between the two properties offers privacy to each property. Enjoy amazing rocky coast, ever changing open ocean and island views from nearly every room!

The décor is New England prep, featuring quality and comfortable furnishings with clean lines that merge modern with classic.
