Our beautiful passive-solar home sits on 2.4 acres, was custom built in 2022 and sits on a private road, nestled in the woods in Cape Elizabeth. From the moment you step inside, you’ll feel the charm of Maine with thoughtful nautical touches and decor throughout. Large windows in every room fill the home with natural light from sunrise to sunset.

The home was designed to let you enjoy nature while staying cozy indoors. Relax inside while watching friendly wildlife pass by, including deer, birds, turkeys, squirrels, and chipmunks.

The living room features a fireplace and a comfortable leather sectional, and opens to the dining area and kitchen—creating a warm, inviting space to gather. TVs are located in the living room, the owner’s suite, and the basement.

You’ll be just a short drive, bike ride, or Uber away from the iconic Portland Head Light, as well as the restaurants and shops of Portland. Best of all, you’re close to the ocean and Maine’s beautiful sandy beaches. This home is an ideal retreat for adults looking to relax and unwind.

As this is the owner’s primary residence, the home is fully equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The owner will be staying in a separate home on the neighboring property (through the woods), so she will be nearby if you have any questions or need assistance, while you still enjoy complete privacy.

The garage can accommodate a small to medium-sized vehicle. During the summer months, the property is treated for ticks and mosquitoes to significantly reduce the bugs that can come with living in the woods. In the evenings, keep an eye out for fireflies or enjoy the peaceful sound of peepers from the nearby pond.

The upstairs bedrooms also feature newly installed shades for added privacy and relaxation. The three main bedrooms are upstairs, including the primary suite & ensuite, and one bedroom & extra living room in the daylight basement.

    We had a wonderful stay! The place had everything we needed and was perfectly nestled in the woods for a peaceful, relaxing getaway. Jocelyn was very responsive and easy to communicate with, which made the whole experience even better. We would stay here again.

    Beautiful home! We thoroughly enjoyed our Thanksgiving stay here with our family. The bedrooms are cozy, the kitchen is well-appointed, and the location is ideal. The neighborhood is beautiful, and this home is tucked away for added serenity. Jocelyn is a gracious host too. We would stay here again!

    Jocelyn's property is beautifully located and designed. From the inside out, it is pretty spectacular. The home is clean, comfortable, and well equipped. We enjoyed daily outings to nearby Crescent Beach and Portland. We left with a new appreciation of nature and the woods.

    Our group had a fantastic stay. The house was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The location is extremely private, located on a large, mostly forested lot. We particularly enjoyed spending time on the large deck, surrounded by nature. Jocelyn was very helpful and responsive, and provided a number of great suggestions for our trip!

    We really enjoyed our stay at Jocelyn's place. The neighborhood is beautiful and it's located only 15 mins from downtown Portland. We rented a car and did a lot of fun day trips from the house. Jocelyn was really communicative and helpful! It was a wonderful and comfortable house.

    Great quiet neighborhood, hiking and biking through the neighborhood. Didn’t get to enjoy all of the amenities of the house because there are so many great things to do near by. Short drive to downtown Portland. Amazing property, great getaway for our family.

    A great place to stay in Cape Elizabeth. The house is off the beaten path enough to provide plenty of privacy and quiet, but close enough to everything around to enjoy everything the area has to offer (5-10 minutes to coast, 15 minutes to Portland). Very responsive and friendly host, everything was as advertised. We would recommend for anyone looking to visit the area.

    We had a great stay - the home was situated in a beautiful neighborhood and was recently built. The home was decorated perfectly and was very comfortable with all new appliances and furnishings. The host was attentive, although we really didn’t need anything. We saw lots of nature and enjoyed sitting on the back porch. We would definitely stay here again!
