2 Bedroom House in East Machias, Machiasport

Narrows Escape – A Hidden Paradise in Maine
Experience the tranquility and charm of a bygone era at this 18th century treasure. Immerse yourself in history, take in stunning 180-degree water views from 1,200 feet of private water frontage on 27 acres and unwind on the deck, savoring spectacular sunsets.
Situated on the east side of picturesque Machiasport, this remarkable 2 bedroom/1 bathroom home has witnessed many historic events, including the First Naval Battle of the American Revolution. Close your eyes and imagine early settlers and Indigenous warriors attacking the fleeing British ship MARGARETTA from behind the house walls as bullets passed through.
Explore the inspiring, sprawling, park-like lawns dotted with ancient apple trees that roll down to the shoreline along the broad estuary of the Machias River. Sit on granite benches and enjoy the peaceful setting. Nature thrives here. With eagles, seals, and shorebirds fishing in the salty waters, and visits from deer and turkeys.
Step away from the world and hike Narrows Escape’s private trail through a magnificent sugar maple grove and spruce forest. Pick your own blueberries during the summer months in Narrows Escape’s own blueberry field or grab an apple from the many apple trees. The end-of-the-road location and water frontage ensure your privacy. Yet, all this serenity is just a 15-minute drive from stores, restaurants, and other conveniences.
This historic home radiates warmth and charm with its vividly painted walls and ceilings, true to the period, and comfortably accommodates three people. The master bedroom with a king-size bed features individual height controls and reading sconces, looks south towards the footbridge over the brook and lawns in the background. The second bedroom is smaller and cozy, overlooking the impressive hills over the estuary.
Downstairs features a comfortable living room, a lovely dining room, and a bright and relaxing sun-room that opens onto the outdoor deck and offers extensive views. The charming, yet modern kitchen invites budding cooks and more experienced chefs alike to create exquisite meals. The full bathroom with shower and an office space complete the main floor.
Machaisport is part of the “real Downeast.” Few tourists have found this paradise, making it the perfect spot for those seeking character and an authentic experience of Maine’s coastal culture, including lobster boats, marshes, woods, and lopsided barns, sometimes hiding in a foggy golden haze or behind swaths of blueberry fields.
How is that for a refreshing escape?

Summary: Absolutely stunning property, steeped in history. It had an amazing view from every direction with spectacular sunsets over the water. We saw deer, watched seals play in front of the house, and saw eagles and a large assortment of other birds daily from the deck. The house was clean, warm and inviting, and equipped with everything we needed. It was a lovely combination of beautiful antiques and functional/comfortable furnishings. The acreage was well groomed allowing us to walk it easily, relax and explore. Even though the location was extremely private, it was also convenient to stores, historical sites, restaurants and beaches. Our dog loved it too, and we were so pleased to find a property he could enjoy with us. Our interactions leading up to our rental, as well as those once onsite with the caretakers were all extremely pleasant, and all were quick to respond to our questions. We would rent again in a heartbeat! Thanks so much for having us!
