Private Vacation Home
Pointed Fir Cove - Ocean Front Manor Home for Discerning Vacationers!
East Boothbay, Maine, United States
This is vintage Maine – a grey shingled cottage, surrounded by fir trees, perched on the ocean’s edge with boundless ocean, coast and distant island views. You’ll hear no sound other than the crashing surf, sea gulls and circling ospreys. The sun rises majestically each morning, flooding the rocky coves with vibrant reds, oranges and yellows that merge to daylight and signal the coming of lobster men pulling their traps. Enjoy sightings of marine life, wild turkeys, deer and fox and our resident osprey with annual new baby chicks. Like Maine itself, life at Pointed Fir Cove is the way life should be… brbrThis private 7 .2 acre oceanfront estate provides 180 degree open ocean views and is the perfect base for sailors, boaters, nature enthusiasts and families escaping daily stress. In addition to the amazing ocean and coastal views, a perennial fresh water stream empties into the ocean from one of our private coves. Depending on the season and rain and Spring snow melt, the cove can be a gentle running stream or a small waterfall emptying into the ocean. While privacy abounds, you’re within three miles of the East Boothbay General Store and two great restaurants and just 5 miles to the charming sites and activities of downtown Boothbay, Boothbay Harbor and a large grocery supermarket. brbrThe Manor Home offers a 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath main home that comfortably sleeps 8. The property can also be rented to include a 2 bedroom, 1 bath guest cottage that can be rented together or separately (see VRBO/1213467).
