Tucked away along a well-maintained private road, this custom-built home, completed in 2004, is perched on a knoll overlooking scenic Nutter Cove. Set on 2.7 private acres, the property features a winding driveway that provides a peaceful approach and exceptional privacy from the road. Underground power preserves the natural beauty of the setting, while 261 feet of frontage on Nutter Cove offers an ever-changing coastal landscape.
The property also includes two versatile outbuildings: a 16’ x 12’ storage shed with a 16’ x 4’ covered porch and a 10’ x 20’ barn-style shed, providing ample space for storage, hobbies, or workshop use.
The approximately 1,400-square-foot cedar-shingled home offers seven well-designed rooms, including two bedrooms, a spacious open-concept great room combining the kitchen, dining, and living areas, a small office, a bonus room, and a loft. A balcony deck extends from the great room, capturing beautiful easterly views over Nutter Cove—an ideal place to enjoy your morning coffee while watching the first sunrise in the United States.
Designed with comfort and accessibility in mind, the home offers single-level living and is handicap accessible. The primary bedroom includes a private full bath with a walk-in shower, linen closet, stackable washer and dryer, and a convenient built-in ironing board. The second full bath features a walk-in soaking tub with tile surround, a vessel sink, and luxury vinyl plank flooring. Both bedrooms offer generously sized closets for excellent storage.
The spacious loft provides additional living space with storage tucked beneath the eaves, making it an ideal craft room, home office, library, or comfortable accommodations for overnight guests.
Efficient oil-fired forced hot air heat keeps the home comfortable throughout the seasons, while an on-demand hot water system provides energy-efficient convenience. The thoughtful floor plan and quality craftsmanship make this home equally suited as a year-round residence or a peaceful coastal retreat.
Outside, Nutter Cove’s tidal waters create a constantly changing landscape. At high tide, the cove sparkles with reflections and visiting waterfowl, while low tide reveals mudflats that attract shorebirds and other wildlife. Deer, rabbits, raccoons, eagles, ospreys, and a variety of songbirds are frequent visitors, making this a wonderful property for birdwatchers and nature lovers.
Located in Lubec, the easternmost town in the United States, you’ll enjoy easy access to West Quoddy Head State Park, the iconic candy-striped lighthouse, miles of rugged coastline, hiking trails, conservation lands, and the welcoming small-town charm that has made this remarkable corner of Maine a favorite destination for residents and visitors alike. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful retirement home, a seasonal getaway, or a place to enjoy the beauty of Downeast Maine year-round, this exceptional property is ready to welcome you home.
