Oceanfront Retreat on Rackliff BaySet on 1.55 private acres with 200 feet of true waterfront, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a rare combination of seclusion and coastal access on Maine’s storied midcoast. Stands of birch surround the clapboard-style house, tucked into woods for maximum privacy while keeping the water just steps away. Inside, the vaulted great room is the heart of the home - knotty pine walls and open timber-frame beams rise to the roofline, centered on a granite hearth with a freestanding wood stove for cozy off-season stays. A spiral staircase climbs to a loft overlook, and walls of glass frame the ocean and woods beyond. The open kitchen and living area flow out to a spacious deck, ideal for morning coffee or sunset entertaining. Outside, the shoreline is classic Maine - dramatic pink granite ledges stepping down to the water, with 200 feet of frontage offering direct water access. Watch working lobster boats move through the bay, or launch a kayak or skiff right from your own shore. Located on Rackliff Island close to the quiet village of Spruce Head, this property offers the tranquility of true waterfront living with easy access to Rockland, Rockport, and the rest of midcoast Maine’s harbors, galleries, and restaurants.
