Restored Cape and Guest Cottage, Bristol, $479,000

“You can have it all” is a hackneyed phrase which is too bad because in this case you can. Location is paramount in real estate and this property has the best of what midcoast Maine has to offer. Located on the Lower Round Pond Road on the banks of the Pemaquid River it is just five minutes to Round Pond’s famous protected harbor, and only 10 minutes from shopping in Damariscotta. This stretch of the Pemaquid, which borders the entire west line of the property, is ideal for canoeing and fishing. In the back field is a place to store your boat and an easy spot to slip it into the meandering river. The house itself has features that many of today’s buyers seek such as a first floor master bedroom/bath suite and a first floor laundry. The period cape has been utterly renovated including a completely rebuilt fireplace and chimney, a radiant heat installation, a modern eat-in kitchen, thermo pane windows, and refinished old pine floors. While you sit in the window seat in the living room you hear the sounds of the riffles on the Pemaquid River as it runs through the old stone mill dam. The fully restored year-round cottage which is screened from the main house can be used as a guest house or leased for income. It was redesigned by an architect and features an open floor plan with two bedrooms and a full bath, and a deck overlooking the river. The acreage includes a back field with paths for an evening stroll along the river.
