One of Washington County's best-kept secrets at the water's edge of the Lubec Channel is this seaside cottage with a beautiful barn and an unobstructed, panoramic view of the Sparkplug, Lubec Channel, Lubec, and Eastport. You almost feel one with the ocean you are so close to the water's edge. You can see the eagles soar and listen to the ebb and flow of the ocean. Built in the mid-1800s this Maine cottage embodies coastal Maine living to its' core. The house offers a bright kitchen, and dining and living rooms that both overlook the Channel. The first floor also hosts a bedroom which could also serve as an office off the living room. The owners exposed the handsome beams in the ceiling for the entire first floor and updated the bathroom with a handsome clawfoot bathtub. The second floor has 2 bedrooms with wonderful water views. This place is a birders' paradise with well over 200 hundred different birds sighted each year. The property is surveyed with thick forest behind you that abuts the South Lubec Road. The property is less than a mile to West Quoddy Headlight, the easternmost point in the continental US with 541 acres and 5 miles of hiking trails and a mile in the other direction to the beach at Carrying Place Cove. Plus oceanfront hiking and kayak launches abound. The lovely village of Lubec offers a lively farmers' market, gourmet coffee shop, t-shirt shop, the easternmost brewery, and it is also the gateway to Campobello Island, New Brunswick, Canada, home to FDR & Eleanor's summer residence.
