Along the Maine coastline sits a pastoral A-frame waterfront 1,305 square-foot cabin that has recently hit the market for the first time in 36 years, offering a rare opportunity to connect with mother nature–and disconnect from everyday life.
Inside the home
The cabin is located on 29 Hotel Cove Rd, in Harrington, ME, earning the nickname Ripley, the property, which was built in 1990, has been put on the market for $499K.
The rustic A-frame cabin sits on the 0.42-acre plot and is home to a single lofted bedroom, an open-floor-plan living room and kitchen, and a sunroom with scenic views of the water. The cabin also includes a wood-burning stove for heat in the living room and a gas oven for cooking in the kitchen.
The washrooms are located in a detached bathhouse with a composted toilet, which the listing notes “adds utility and maintenance privacy”. Additionally, the lofted sleeping areas are accessible by a stepping ladder located in the main living room.
A rustic retreat
On the exterior, the home is surrounded by woods ensuring secluded privacy and a picnic table for people to eat on the outside to enjoy the scenic view of the waterfront.
Yet, the true return on investments is found largely in the location of the residence, which sits on a sheer foot from the gravel beach and offers a breathtaking scenic view of Pleasant Bay; the landscape has helped the home climb to the top of the week’s most popular homes list.
The property possibly could be used as an income-generating opening for short-term stays including vacations, the listing adds. Additionally, the cabin was designed as a coastal retreat for weekend stays, “the appeal lies in its versatility,” according to the listing.
The cabin’s listing agent is Nexthome Experience.
