Tides' Reach - Private Waterfront King Beds

Escape from the hustle and bustle without leaving behind modern comforts and conveniences. Watch the tides go in and out from the gourmet kitchen or rocking on the porch. Despite being privately situated on nearly 25 acres, you are still close to everything you could need. Bucksport (restaurants, groceries, boardwalk) is 5 minutes away. Acadia Nat'l Park and Bar Harbor an hour. Bangor Intl Airport is 40 minutes. Or stay home and enjoy high speed internet, lawn games and visiting wildlife.
The space
Total privacy at the end of a quarter mile gravel driveway through nearly 25 mostly wooded acres. Near the home site there is about 2 acres of cleared land that is often visited by deer, bald eagles, and more! Enjoy a pair of rocking chairs on the side porch and roast some s'mores from the Adirondack chairs around the fire pit. Make it a point to get out at night to take in the incredible stars.

Explore the property and follow the wooded trail down to the 600' of shoreline. Though swimming is not recommended here due to the mudflats we have fun collecting driftwood and taking in the ocean breezes.

We spent six months remodeling the 2400 sqft house to ensure you and your guests have a comfortable stay. The master bedroom has king bed and a flat screen TV with a Roku. There is a second king bed in an oversized room that has plenty of space to roll out a yoga mat. The third bedroom has two twins.

For us, the center of the house is the generously appointed custom kitchen. From in front of the 36" Wolf Range with a char-broiler you get 180 degree views of the property and river. A Wolf oven and Sub-Zero fridge cover the other essentials. Granite counters and a large island with seating for four the chef happy and in good company. The dining table comfortably seats six and also has fantastic views of the water. If you're feeling like cooking out doors, there's a propane grill available as well.

The house is located near many wonderful excursions. Acadia National Park is just about an hour away as well as the always charming Bar Harbor. Closer by there's Castine, Blue Hill, and Belfast. Five minutes away in Bucksport there's a boardwalk that follows the Penobscot river. The Penobscot narrows bridge and Fort Knox are just about 10 minutes away. Nearby there are great lakes and parks with public beach access and extensive and boating opportunities. Our favorite seasonal restaurant in the summer is Carriers Mainely Lobster which is less than two miles away!

There is a 1/2 bath downstairs and the upstairs bathroom has a large soaking tub and separate large walk in shower. While there are a lot of heads in the shower, the well doesn't provide good enough pressure to enjoy all of them at once. We've been looking into how to solve that problem.

If you are bringing work with you the high-speed cable internet will let you connect to your meetings while the kids access your streaming content on the Roku's.
Guest access
You'll have access to the whole house except for a supply closet and the garage. You will also not have access to the barn, but we usually keep some of the bigger lawn games under the overhang there.

Spring trip/college trip
Great location. Convenient to Castine for college tour. Not far from local Hannaford, Fort Knox, or Bucksport. Loved having water views in the morning while having breakfast. Saw a few eagles flying by every day in the morning. Beds were comfy, kitchen met our needs, Even used the fire pit one evening as the weather was cooperative. Water took a few minutes to warm up before you could jump in and take a shower. We spaced out everyone's shower to make sure we didn't run out of hot water. Internet worked great. Will keep this on our list for return visits.
