Portside on Holmes Bay with ever-changing panoramic vistas of the Bold Coast. | House in Machiasport
3 Bedroom House in East Machias, Machiasport
Part of the charm of this recently renovated home is the breathtaking ever-changing panoramic seascapes. I love watching the tides ebb and flow, and the sea smoke dancing between the islands. In the morning, sit on the expansive porch with a cup of coffee or tea to watch lobster boats haul their traps. Then head out for a day trip. There are so many places locally to capture glimpses of how stunningly beautiful the bold coast of Maine is. There is a partial list provided below. After your day trip, enjoy preparing and cooking dinner on the propane grill on the porch. Have a fire in the pit at night where it feels like the stars are so close you could pluck one from the sky. To the left, the Cutler Towers glimmer red at night. Directly in front, the white light on Avery Rock spins around like clockwork to warn mariners of the ledges below. Maybe leave the windows open an inch at night to breathe in the crisp refreshing night air. And if you listen closely, you may be able to hear the sounds of the harbor seals.
Accessibility to the beach in front of the house is only 4 drives down on the right. You may not even see another person while you are there.
If exploring isn't your thing, getting lost in the beauty of reading a good book never disappoints.
There are so many historical places to see: the Gates House Museum in Machiasport, the Burnham Tavern Museum in Machias (find out how it was part of the Revolutionary War), President Roosevelt's summer home on Campobello Island, Lubec (the most easternmost land in the US, Quoddy Head lighthouse in Lubec, Roques Bluff Beach and State Park, whale watching tours out of Eastport, Bold Coast Trail hike in Cutler, along with local kayaking, golf courses, boating, four wheeling along the old railroad beds, fishing, Jasper Beach, renowned Helen's Restaurant (if you like raspberries, definitely get the pie!). Raye's Mustard Mill located in Eastport is the last working stone ground mustard mill in the US. Bartlett Maine Estate Winery is on the way to Winter Harbor, where you can rent bikes to explore the Schoodic Loop of Acadia National Park, or catch a ferry to Bar Harbor for the day. There are also Puffin boat tours that take you to one of the only nesting sites of the Atlantic Puffin in the US. On the weekends, there are vendors along the causeway in Machias selling anything from crab meat to locally grown veggies, to furniture and various flea market finds.
This quintessential Downeast area is slower paced, like stepping back in time. For creature comforts, Machias does have a Mcdonald's, Family Dollar, Dollar General, Hannafords (for groceries), the famous Pat's Pizza, a Dunkin Donuts and several gas stations. However, the Machias area doesn't have a traffic light. People hold the door for you and say please and thank you. And people wave, sometimes with only one or two fingers, at you when they are driving. We like to call it the Downeast Wave. It is such an inviting area. We hope that you enjoy it as much as we do.
