Description
SEA CAPTIN'S HOME BY THE SEA-BLUE HILL, MAINE Come spend the winter in a shipbuilder's 1835 historic home. Renovated home with gourmet kitchen, five bedrooms, three baths with unparalleled views of the Salt Pond, Conary Cove and the sea. We opened windows to enjoy spectacular water views while staying cozy inside. November 2025-April 2026 Because it is on the sea, we have found that winters here are still lovely, with blue skies that often emerge and evergreens to soften the landscape. As a community, Blue Hill stays active year-round, while maintaining the quiet of Maine in winter. Acadia may be reached within an hour and offers wonderful cross-country skiing along the carriage roads, allowing us to enjoy the season without the crowds of summer. We have a good wi-fi connection for remote work Wifi is included in the price Please note this is for a winter rental - flexible length of time starting in November.

Comments: We are completely surrounded by water - Conary Cove in the front, and the Mill Pond portion of the Salt Pond stretches across the back. Rocky shorelines and evergreens make this a beautiful spot year round - winter quiet within an active community

Comments: This historic gem was constructed by a shipbuilder, who built schooners out front in Conary Cove. The setting is beautiful year round with a rocky shore and evergreen trees. Blue Hill is an active winter coastal community, and the house peaceful.
