This fanciful, one-of-a kind home surfs the edge of the shore! Giant windows look out over wide open ocean to Monhegan Island and beyond. One of the most desirable spots on one of New Harbor/Pemaquid Point's most exclusive and private shorelines. Hidden away off a dirt road, verdant pine and sea-salt perfumed grounds overlook ocean bluffs (w/ ample lawn for kids to play catch!). Below, your own expansive wonderland of rocky ocean front boasts immense tidal pools, a freshwater stream, and flatledges for sunning or seating your very own lobster cookout! Inside, 'Seachange' is open, light and airy with intriguing peaks and angles and two-story windows front and back. A magnificent rock fireplace opens to the living and dining/kitchen areas. A large screened porch (with a convenient pass-through window) is the perfect place to eat, read, and relax. Watch lobster boats pull in their traps, observe the copious wildlife that populates the shore and sea, and let the sounds of the surf lull you to sleep in the hammock. A winterized 'wing' of the house has separate bath, efficiency kitchen, work desk, and sleeping areas affording very private separation from main house.

The living room offers expansive, 180-degree ocean views from seating around the coffee table---perfect for a cocktail-hour gathering, and equally inviting for an afternoon siesta or snuggling by the fire with a book. The open kitchen and dining room look out over a fresh-water stream that babbles through the pine forest just behind the house. The dining table expands to seat 10. A pass-through window from the dining/kitchen area to the screened porch is handy for serving blueberry pancake breakfasts. On the porch you can enjoy a cup of coffee while watching the lobster boats bring in their haul. A 'prow'-like sun deck opens off the screened porch and juts out over the shoreline.

Climb winding stairs to a master bedroom with queen bed that affords a crow's nest view from Yellowhead to the Seal Ledges and out to Monhegan Island. Write postcards (or, okay, check your email) at the built-in desk area. Behind the master bedroom is a lovely, shady bedroom (two twin beds) overlooking treetops and the freshwater creek. Tucked under the eaves is a snug bathroom with tub/shower and skylight.

The attached apartment wing (with a separate outdoor entrance but also accessible to the interior of the main house) houses a sleeping area with twin beds and a sitting area with a full-sized sleeper sofa, separated by a stone chimney with wood stove. It also features a built-in desk area, bath with shower, washer and dryer, kitchenette with sink, full-sized refrigerator, microwave oven, and toaster oven. This private retreat is perfect for guests, a couple wishing extra privacy, or those with restricted mobility.

The house has a furnace to take the chill off early spring and fall mornings… and the 'small change' apartment is 'winterized' with a wood stove and electric heaters.

AMENITIES: Seachange has a fully equipped main kitchen (open to dining and living room) plus a separate bar/prep kitchen with 2nd refrigerator and sink in attached wing. Washer and dryer, microwave, toaster, toaster oven, coffeemaker, three telephones, fans (including ceiling fan), cable TV/VCR, WIFI internet, CD/tape player, portable dehumidifier, charcoal grill, lobster cookout equipment.

ACTIVITIES: There's plenty to do at Seachange. You can explore the coastal tide pools, birdwatch, sunbathe on the rock ledges, play catch on the lawn, or fish right off the docks or walk down to nearby picturesque Back Cove, or bike the adjacent roads and trails. Or, you can simply relax on the porch, and appreciate the sounds and sights of the ocean.

AREA: The New Harbor/Pemaquid area offers great hiking, sea kayaking, boating, boat cruises, antiquing, historic sites (Fort William Henry, Colonial Pemaquid Restoration in immediate area) and many fine restaurants. Public golf course nearby. Pemaquid Lighthouse Park and Pemaquid Beach (sand) are located within a short drive or bike ride. Short drives to Damariscotta, South Bristol, Round Pound and Christmas Cove. Day trips to Monhegan Island out of New Harbor.

    This house is an architectural delight! Definitely could use some updating but the view and design are flawless. Wish it was for sale! Sheila is an absolute gem to work with! Definitely will be in touch with her to rent again.

    First of all, even if there wasn’t a dwelling at this location, geologically speaking, this is a phenomenal place to be. It’s like a national park setting all of your own. Then there’s the house. Some Frank Llyod Wright like minded individual must of been sent there 60 years ago with the request to design a home that would make the best of what the property had to offer. This is a very unique home. Obviously a lot of thought went into embracing the views while being able to comfortably entertain and nurture its guests. And it’s in incredible shape considering it’s age. The ground floor to roof peak glass facade and accompanying deck welcome the rising sun and delightful ocean views all through the day. After dark the double sided fireplace is designed to comfort those both in the living room and kitchen area. The kitchen is large and well equipped. It too has a incredible view as the back of the house is set in the woods, same ground floor to roof peak glass design. This time embracing a forest environment complete with a naturally occurring stream that ends in small pools and waterfalls emptying into the Boulder strewn waterfront. That’s just the first floor. The 2 bedrooms on the second floor give an “opera balcony’s view” over the glass facades views outside, both front and back , but also offer a view down into to the living spaces just below them. When the fireplace is burning , it can be seen reflecting in the glass facades from all 3 beds on the second floor. A rare treat. After dark I would open the door to the expansive screened in side porch that leads to the deck out front and build a fire. The hearth is very deep so it takes some doing to set up the wood, but to hear the surf and the crackling of the fire is intoxicating. No music required. There is a hot air gas fired heating system with controls in easy each in the foyer when needed. Not that we used it, but there is another section of this house that has more living space. Two more beds. A full bathroom, kitchenette, washer, dryer, wood stove and propane heater. The owners of this property have quite a gem here and I’m looking forward to the opportunity to be able to experience a stay here again.

    You can’t beat views on deck. Stayed in mid May and bought two heaters as 2 bedrooms have no heat as well as kitchen and living room. The newer section has heat but two twin beds. The older section has open ceilings so you may want to bring a noise machine if you have snorers. The views and deck are the best.

    My wife and I rented this place as a relaxing getaway to recharge. This was the perfect place to do so. The area was extremely quiet and beautiful. The views are excellent and we enjoyed relaxing on the deck watching a seal catch fish and a bald eagle circle the area hunting. At low tide we’d explore the tide pools with our puppies and were one day treated to finding a large striped bass swimming about. Our puppy had a blast as the fish swam through her legs and circles around her. The kitchen is fairly well appointed and you’ll find everything you need at the cottage for surf and turf everyday. A great place to unwind and watch the waves crash.

    This cottage is lovely and the setting is incredibly beautiful. The area is quiet and peaceful, the perfect location for an October retreat from everything stressful. The crashing of the waves lulled us to sleep at night and we spent hours on the deck just watching the sea birds and the occasional seal. It was perfect.

    Couldn't ask for a more dramatic location. The sound of the waves crashing was a soothing tonic. Very private down a long drive. Would love to return!
