Property Description
Some places simply call for you to slow down, and this is one of them. Tucked away at the end of a long private driveway, this charming cottage takes you down memory lane to another era. Its sweet 1970s vintage character evokes memories of simpler times, inviting you to relax, unwind, and appreciate the peaceful beauty of life along the shores of Montsweag Bay. Step onto the spacious wraparound deck, where gentle breezes drift in from the water and the rhythm of the tides sets the pace of the day. A wall of glass welcomes you as you enter the home, filling the rooms with natural light and ever-changing views. Each evening, the western sky takes center stage. As the sun slowly sinks beyond the bay, the water becomes a canvas of colors, delivering a sunset performance you'll never tire of watching. Follow the meandering staircase to the riverside deck, where a dock once welcomed boats and kayaks. Today, it remains a magical place to cast a line, launch a kayak, sip your morning coffee, or simply watch osprey soar overhead as the river quietly flows by. Whether you envision restoring waterfront access or simply embracing the tranquil setting, this special spot provides options. Are you looking for a year-round residence or a waterfront getaway? This enchanting cottage is ready for its next chapter --with you!
