Description

Imagine a vast south westerly view of East Penobscot Bay and its many islands.

All of that is before you from the windows and decks of a finely crafted home with Post & Beam construction of the highest quality. The stunning home at 142 Ames Cove is set high above the sea, surrounded by spruce and birch woods, imaginative mature landscaping, all with splendid seclusion but within a 30 minute drive for essential amenities and tennis or golf at the Castine Country Club. A truly a magical place and a home for all seasons.
