About this property
Modern Cottage Overlooking Sheepscot River
This beautiful three bedroom, 2-1/2 bath home sits high on a hill overlooking the Sheepscot River and Indiantown Island Preserve, offering a peaceful and private retreat with beautiful sunsets and sweeping views. Known as “The Overlook,” this secluded home combines the peacefulness of its natural surroundings with a stylish, modern interior and is just a 10 minute drive from downtown Boothbay Harbor.
Inside, the home features a thoughtfully designed modern interior with comfortable furnishings and plenty of space to relax and gather with family and friends. The open living spaces and large windows take full advantage of the home`s elevated setting, bringing the beauty of the Maine landscape indoors. The well-appointed kitchen is perfect for preparing meals at home, while the sunken living area provides a comfortable spot to unwind after a day of exploring the coast.
Attached to the home by the open deck is a separate space affectionately known as the `Ice Castle`. With a comfortable office space, it offers a quiet spot to work, read, enjoy a morning coffee, or simply take in the beautiful views. Surrounding by windows and overlooking the Sheepscot, the `Ice Castle` is a unique bonus space that adds a bit of privacy.
Step outside onto the open deck to enjoy your morning coffee, fire up the grill for dinner, or simply take in the peaceful surroundings. As the sun begins to set, gather and watch the sky change over the river. Whether you`re looking for a quiet escape, a home base for exploring the Boothbay region, or simply a place to slow down and enjoy the beauty of coastal Maine, The Overlook offers the perfect combination of privacy, comfort, and unforgettable views.
