Perched on the rugged cliffs of Penobscot Bay, this .25-acre property in Northport, Maine, offers a rare opportunity to own 140 feet of private ocean frontage. The circa 1920s cottage, though in need of extensive repair, stands impossibly close to the water—a position that could not be replicated under today's shoreland zoning regulations. This unique setting offers two paths: restore the cottage for a truly immersive coastal experience, or use its footprint for a new build that captures the essence of ''The Maine House'' style.
The land has been surveyed, and the steep bluff has undergone a safety evaluation, confirming it as a solid foundation for future development. Imagine creating a home that blends with the natural landscape, offering panoramic views of the bay and a daily connection to Maine's maritime heritage.
The property is serviced by a drilled well, and while electricity is currently disconnected, it can be easily reinstated. With 74 feet of road frontage on Shore Road and proximity to the historic Temple Heights neighborhood, this property offers both privacy and a sense of community.
Whether you envision a meticulous renovation or new construction that honors the spirit of the original cottage, this property presents a rare chance to craft a coastal retreat that is both timeless and uniquely yours.
Please visit the property at your own risk.
