PORT TACK: Harbor Front Home with Sweeping Views | House in Jonesport
3 Bedroom House in Jonesport
Historic waterfront home in Jonesport, Maine.
Our home is located in picturesque Jonesport, a small coastal fishing community overlooking Moosabec Reach. The harbor is home to over a hundred working lobster fishing boats. Many of the local families date back to the late 1700’s. Jonesport is located a little over an hour north of Acadia National Park and the same distance south of Lubec at the Canadian border. Both directions give generous opportunities for hiking, kayaking, and wildlife viewing (including whales, seals, and puffins!). Nearby, there are hiking trails on Great Wass Island. Amble down to the fishing wharf and buy fresh caught Maine lobster or clams for your dinner. Go three miles north where public access is provided to walk the beautiful Sandy River Beach. The 4th of July festivities include a parade on Main Street and the ever popular Lobster Boat races! Or, come in August, for locally grown wild blueberries and the first arrival of migratory whales.
"Port Tack" dates back to 1904 and has been newly renovated. The house is open and airy, but still retains the feel and charm of its history. With 2,200 square feet of living space, it sits on a 20 foot high bank, directly on the water, nestled amongst traditional Downeast homes. Enjoy waterfront views from every room across Moosabec Reach to Beal's Island and Alley Bay.
Downstairs features an open floor plan including a living, dining, and kitchen area with sweeping views through large picture windows. Watch the lobster boats come and go, as bald eagles soar overhead. The downstairs bedroom is furnished with a double bed. Adjacent is a bathroom with an antique claw foot tub with shower. The kitchen is equipped with all the amenities to cook your own meals. There is a large slate farm house sink, (sorry, no dishwasher) with plenty of counter space and a breakfast bar. A walk in pantry provides additional kitchen storage.
Upstairs has a sitting area and a bedroom with a queen sized bed. The upstairs bathroom has a large walk in shower. Two built in Pullman bunks are located under the eaves on the second floor. Each bunk has its own light, power plug, and curtain; prime sleeping for the younger crowd.
Private stairs provide access to the beach below. The yard also features a deck facing the Harbor with a Weber gas grill and fire pit for your enjoyment. You will also find board games, cards, puzzles, books and lawn games, along with a smart TV and internet.
An attached barn with a separate entrance has an upstairs loft apartment for the periodic use of the owners. The original owner stabled his horses here and delivered dry goods via horseback from his nearby shop.
The current owners, Christian and Margene have a long history of hosting beach rentals in the Bahamas and find Maine has exceeded their expectations.
Come and experience Downeast Maine. We are sure you will enjoy Jonesport as much as we do!
