A custom-built Cape on 8.5 acres with 415 feet of saltwater frontage on Little Kennebec Bay offers tranquil water views. Launch a kayak from your shoreline, enjoy observing an array of wildlife or simply relax on the deck taking in the ever-changing water views. The mature trees, rolling lawn areas, gardens, small pond, and footpath to the shore enhance the natural surroundings. Enjoy year-round or seasonal coastal living in this comfortable and spacious home with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, eat-in kitchen, pantry, formal dining room, library/den, living room, and family room. There are delightful water views from several rooms. An unfinished bonus room on the second level has future potential for multiple uses. The walk-out basement could be finished to provide for other versatile living areas. A 2-bay garage is under the home. The sizable acreage offers the opportunity for a second lot. This property is located on a town road in a country setting but is in close proximity to the amenities of Machias. The Machias Bay area is the perfect spot for residents and visitors to enjoy a wide-range of outdoor activities such as kayaking, sailing, hiking, and biking. Nearby Jasper Beach with its unique jasper stones plus crashing surf, Roque Bluffs State Park with a highly acclaimed half-mile sand beach, and the Bold Coast Trail with superb hiking trails along the unspoiled coastline are local treasures. Machias serves as the commercial, educational, medical, cultural, and governmental center of Maine's easternmost county.
