1581 Main Rd, Westport Island, ME 04578

Property Description

Set on three acres near the south end of Westport Island, this distinctive property offers views toward Goose Rock Passage and the surrounding waters of the Sheepscot River. The land has been in the same family since the 1760s, while the home was built in 2011, connecting generations of family history with newer construction. Quiet and private, the property features open fields, abundant bird and wildlife activity, and access to nearby trails and coastal waters. The home was built with a remarkable connection to the land. Trees used for the framing, flooring, interior finish, cabinetry and doors were harvested from the property and milled for its construction. Nine-foot ceilings and oversized windows complement a design influenced by traditional coastal Maine architecture. Designed for first-floor living, the primary bedroom, bath, laundry, kitchen and main living spaces are all on the first level. The kitchen features custom cabinetry, granite countertops, a Wolf range and Bosch dishwasher. A 12' x 12' three-season room and 16' x 27' deck extend the living space. The well-insulated home offers three heat pumps, a Rinnai propane heater and wood heat. A full basement with approximately nine-foot ceilings provides substantial storage and workshop space. A significant feature is the 30-foot-wide shared easement providing shore access and a potential dock area, with water even at low tide. From here, explore the protected waters surrounding Westport Island or head toward the open coast and Boothbay Harbor. Approximately 25-30 minutes from Bath and just over an hour from Portland, this property brings together acreage, craftsmanship, water access and generations of family history on the Maine coast.
