Craig Haven

“Craig Haven” is a magical cottage retreat consisting of 6.99+ acres in the Eastern Point section of Gloucester that offers excellent southeasterly views to Brace Rock, Bemo Ledge and the open Atlantic from its highest elevations. With a NEWLY APPROVED BOARDWALK PERMIT in place DIRECT BRACE COVE BEACH ACCESS is just steps away! At the entrance of the property is a two-bay detached garage with parking area and a c.1900 single-story guest cottage with two bedrooms and one and a half baths. A winding footpath proceeds through ledge outcroppings and lush vegetation toward the main house – part of the charm of this special place is the calm that takes over during the approach by foot. Park the car and embrace the feeling that you are being transported to a quieter, more simple existence surrounded by nature. The main house, a c. 1920’s single story house, is nestled into the enormous boulders and discretely blends into the landscape while taking advantage of the views towards Brace Cove. The home has three bedrooms and one and a half baths, a galley-style eat-in kitchen, garden room, dining room and a great room with a vaulted beamed ceiling, a prominent fieldstone fireplace and picture windows facing the ocean. The property features a ruggedly beautiful natural landscape with woodland trails, grassy lawn areas and wetlands. As part of the Eastern Point Association, enjoy all that Brace Cove Beach has to offer – swimming, walking, exploring the private beach and Nile’s Pond area, and access to join Fort Hill Tennis courts.
