Beach Rose Preserve

Located on Maine’s spectacular Bold Coast in the quaint seaside community of Lubec, Beach Rose Preserve is quintessential Downeast Maine at its finest.

Sited on more than 300 acres of pristine land, the historic saltwater farm offers an exquisitely renovated and rebuilt antique farmhouse, an iconic post and beam barn, a gardening shed/studio building and a 2-story workshop that would make an ideal guest house. Enjoy incredible views of lobster boats and the Atlantic Ocean with 710-feet of frontage on storied Bailey’s Mistake featuring your own sand beach. Watch the lobster boats and frolicking seals or just get lost in thought while gazing out to sea.

The two-bedroom, two-bathroom farmhouse was fully renovated from top to bottom with incredible attention to detail. The thoughtful improvements include new foundation, heating, plumbing and electrical systems; hurricane-rated windows framing the ocean views, cathedral ceilings with exposed original beams, distressed, wide-beam hardwood flooring throughout and antique lighting with new wiring. The open concept kitchen boasts ocean views as well as a gleaming antique farm sink and a striking Queen Atlantic wood stove that was fully restored and converted to a gas oven with 4-burner cooktop. The light-filled living room is great for entertaining or relaxing with a good book while taking in the incredible ocean vistas. A newly constructed first-floor primary bedroom suite is a private sanctuary with water views, gas woodstove and en-suite bathroom with clawfoot tub and pedestal sink. The first floor also includes a guest bedroom, a guest bathroom with vintage details and a utility/laundry room with access to the attached one-bay garage.

Both the two-story, dormered workshop and the one-story studio have been moved to new concrete foundations. The studio already has lines in place for future plumbing and both buildings could be ideal for additional living space or a guest house. The post and beam pegged barn is a rustic beauty and offers many potential uses.

The acreage is a mix of meadows and mature forest with a stream and an otter pond. Beach Rose Preserve consists of two separate parcels. The house, outbuildings and waterfront meadow are located on a 154.1- acre parcel, with the majority of this protected by a thoughtful Quoddy Regional Land Trust conservation easement. The abutting 174-acre wooded lot offers potential for additional buildings or the construction of trails for recreational activities.

The location of this unique property is unsurpassed. It offers dark night skies perfect for star gazing and is close to incredible hiking trails, village shops and restaurants, West Quoddy Head as well as two airports.
