Description

Half Moon Cove - An Enduring Coastal Estate of Exceptional Craftsmanship Privately sited at the end of a half-mile drive through 43 acres of unspoiled woodland, Half Moon Cove is a rare waterfront estate offering over a quarter mile of west-facing shoreline, a deep-water dock, and a protected mooring field. This is a place of profound privacy and natural beauty - yet just 15 minutes from the vibrant coastal village of Damariscotta. Designed and built with an uncompromising commitment to quality, the estate includes a finely crafted three-bedroom main residence and a separate one-bedroom guest cottage - each constructed with yacht-quality finishes, red cedar roof shingles, and architectural integrity. A private one-bedroom guest suite within the main home brings the total bedroom count to five. Throughout the main house, refined details abound: three fireplaces add warmth and character, including a Count Rumford fireplace with a custom hearth that serves as a central point of the home. The guest cottage, equally finished to the highest standard, offers two additional fireplaces, creating a welcoming and private retreat for guests or extended stays. Interior finishes include Honduran mahogany floors and ceiling timbers, bespoke woodwork, and materials chosen to endure for generations. On the waterfront, the 30-foot deep-water dock and protected mooring field provide immediate access to open waters. A three-car heated garage completes the offering with understated utility. The property is currently served by a three-bedroom septic design, with a five-bedroom expansion plan available upon request. With its west-facing orientation for dramatic sunsets and an unmatched blend of privacy, craftsmanship, and maritime access, Half Moon Cove is an enduring legacy estate on Maine's storied coast.
