Old Cove Lane

Bright, open living spaces prevail in this architect-designed residence overlooking the scenic Eggemoggin Reach, a popular boating area and Thorofare to many of Maine’s coveted cruising areas. The shingle-style residence was carefully sited on a quiet, private lane in Brooklin, one of coastal Maine's boating meccas, and offers a deepwater dock and moorings. The property is unusually large with 25.07+/- acres and 1,161’+/- feet of deep shorefront. 

The living room has a vaulted ceiling and large wood-burning fireplace; the gourmet kitchen, dining area and screened porch with deck adjoin it, all with the engaging ocean views. The four-bedroom, year-round home offers high-end finishes and appliances, and has been impeccably maintained and enjoyed by one owner. A finished room on the lower level provides a quiet office space with views of the ocean and direct access outside.

A separate two-car garage with finished area above allows for storage or play space, as well as an attached workshop. A second barn provides storage space or can be used for a multitude of other purposes. The property is stylishly landscaped with colorful perennial plantings and native foliage. 

Brooklin’s pastoral surroundings and quiet community offer a very desirable quality of life. Incorporated as a town in 1849, Brooklin was originally a small fishing village where residents also earned a living by farming and trading. Today Brooklin is a quiet year-round coastal community with a long-standing summer population. Center Harbor, the renowned Brooklin Boat Yard, and Wooden Boat magazine and its associated boat school are of special interest. Excellent restaurants, a variety of shops, numerous musical and theatrical groups, and various recreational opportunities can also be found on the Blue Hill Peninsula. Bangor and its international airport are within an hour’s drive, and additional air service is available at Bar Harbor Airport, 45 minutes away.  

This unique offering presents a quiet retreat with ‘end of the road’ privacy, located in one of Maine’s revered villages for boaters or those just seeking their ‘anchor to windward’, and should be seen to be appreciated.
