186 Lopaus Point Road

Lopaus Point features 28± pristine acres along the ocean at the end of a point with spectacular views to the west towards Deer/Isle Stonington and Blue Hill. The gently sloping landscape feels like a private oasis, with trails through mossy forest and 2,500± feet of easily accessed shorefront on Mitchell Cove and Blue Hill Bay. An extensive sand and pebble beach wraps around the point, creating a truly magical waterfront experience with rare western sunset views towards the mountains of the Midcoast. This property offers multiple charmingly rustic and seasonal buildings, including a larger “main” cabin, plus two smaller cottages and a cabin on the point. Additionally, there is a boathouse and writer’s cabin, and all the buildings are in grandfathered locations on the shore, ready for customization and rejuvenation.

This quintessential Maine property was once the beloved summer home of the Pulitzer Prize award-winning journalist and political activist Walter Lippmann. Commissioned in 1940, the property retains much of its original unspoiled character. Reminiscent of a proper summer ‘camp’ with its multiple buildings, privacy, shorefront, and excellent views, it has hosted generations of family and friends who have traveled to the property to enjoy its quiet solitude, gather for a good meal, or watch the sunset over a bonfire on the beach.
