309 State Route 129, South Bristol, ME 04573 (MLS# 1577632)

West facing deep water property on the Damariscotta River! Truly a rare offering, this property is located in the Walpole section of South Bristol and consists of two independent living spaces, a main house that is connected to a guest house by a sunporch offering great flexibility to suit various living situations. The approach to the property from the main road is a freshly paved lane that winds through a park-like setting of mature trees. Around the house the grounds have been professionally landscaped with masterfully constructed stonewalls and hardscape. With 5 acres of land 273 feet of waterfront, privacy is assured. The main house was built on the footprint of a previous cottage allowing it to be sited much closer to the water than can be done today resulting in a wonderful proximity to the River. The property has been exceptionally well-maintained and features include- hardwood floors, granite countertops, double sided gas fireplace, built-ins including window seats, cathedral ceilings, whole house automatic generator, mini-split cooling and heating, and oversized two-car garage/workshop with ample storage. The screen porch converts to a glass enclosure. Each structure has been designed to take advantage of the panoramic westerly views across the river and some of the best sunsets you have ever seen will be right here. Just minutes to the local golf course and the twin villages of Damariscotta/Newcastle which offers shopping, restaurants, coffee shops, library, organic food store, theater and hospital. An ideal boaters property with a deep water dock and several moorings provides access to a myriad of water sports and maritime pursuits. Run up to Damariscotta for Lunch. Fish for striped bass around the ledges or watch the seals sunbathing on the rocks. Heading down river will take you to the seaside communities of Christmas Cove on Rutherford island and East Boothbay on the western shore out to open ocean. Enjoy the benefit of low South Bristol taxes.
