Cliff Cottage: Historic Charm on Townsend Gut
Welcome to Cliff Cottage, a beautifully remodeled retreat perched above the scenic Townsend Gut on the northern tip of Southport Island. This "cottage chic" home masterfully blends old-world Maine charm — hardwood floors, wooden cabinetry, and expansive windows — with modern luxury. Located on a quiet stretch of the island, Cliff Cottage offers a front-row seat to the parade of wildlife, sailboats, and lobster boats navigating the Gut.
Charming Features Townsend Gut Waterfront: Set high with dramatic views, the large waterside deck is the perfect spot for morning coffee as the sun rises or dinner under the stars. Wildlife Watching: Keep your binoculars handy! You’ll likely spot seals, seagulls, osprey, and eagles right from the deck or the dock. Master Suite Sanctuary: The main level features a spacious master king suite with a private en-suite bathroom and a cozy, private sitting room located between the bedroom and the living area. Modern Open Concept: The main floor flows seamlessly between the living, dining, and kitchen areas, all featuring comfortable, well-coordinated decor and huge windows to pull the view inside. Private Dock & Float: Why not try fishing off the dock or enjoying cocktails in the chairs at the head of the pier as the sun sets? Spacious Accommodations: With four bedrooms across two levels, there is plenty of room for up to eight guests to relax in style.
NOTE: To ensure the best experience and safety given the home's layout and waterfront positioning, Cliff Cottage is not recommended for children under 10.
