Secluded Winter Wonderland - Oakey Point in Casco Bay

Come celebrate the holidays in this warm, secluded and enchanting country home. With breath taking views from every window you will think you’ve just stepped into a Currier and Ives painting. There are many near by winter activities to enjoy; you can cross country ski or go water hole fishing right from your front door. A twenty minute drive will take you to the historic town of Brunswick for Ice skating and holiday shopping. For Ski lovers the best mountains to be found are just over an hour away at The Sugarloaf and Sunday River resorts which also offer snow mobiling, tubbing and dog sledding. And when you're done with all of your outdoor fun you can come home simmer down by an open fire.

The post-modern shingle style 4100 square foot house was beautifully
and thoroughly expanded in 2000. The house was completely
rethought by Joseph Waltman, who I consider the Robert A. Stern of
the Maine coast. The many architectural details include: intricate
wainscotting, raised panels, crown moldings, French doors, transoms,
oak wood floors throughout, and custom cherry cabinetry.
The house is within 50 feet of the shoreline on all three sides, and
has been sited so that every room has direct water views! The
interior has been carefully furnished with personally chosen
antiques, including oriental rugs, and original Maine art. The
custom kitchen has cherry cabinets and ceramic tile floors. It is
fully equipped with a Viking professional six-burner cooktop,
Thermador double ovens with microwave, two Kitchenaide dishwashers,
Cuisinart, mixer, and an ice maker in the refrigerator. The house
has a reading library, and is furnished with two telephone lines,
fax
machine, laser printer and photocopier; Maytag-Neptune washer and
dryer; deck furniture, gas B-B-Q, satellite TV, and a computer.
A formal entrance way provides access to a 28' by 16' Living Room
facing the water, with direct access to the wraparound deck through
three sets of French doors, and a staircase to the back gardens and
deepwater channel. The Living Room also has a wood burning
fireplace. Off the Family Room through the French doors, is a 16'
by
14' formal Dining Room with seven windows, also directly facing the
water. Along the front of the first floor is the 28' by 14' Family
Room, and to the West, the 18' by 16' custom kitchen described above
with its adjoining laundry room and full bath, again all facing the
water. A foyer/mud room provides access to a two-car garage. Off
the Living Room to the East and South is a 20' by 16' Master
Bedroom with full bath. The Living Room and the Master Bedroom both
have access to an 83' by 11' deck which runs along the south and
west sides of the house. Directly behind the Living Room is a large
screened porch for waterfront dining and boat watching.
Upstairs there are three-four large bedrooms and two guest baths.
One of the bedrooms has an adjoining sitting room, which can be used
as a fifth bedroom.
The property also has a dock for tieing up your boat or swimming.

The house is located on Sebascodegan Island in Casco Bay on the
coast of Maine. The property is situated on a totally private,
secluded peninsula within the Cundys Point Association on 5+ acres,
with 2000 feet of shoreline. The house is within 50 feet of the
water on all three sides. To the West are open views of Quahog and
Casco bays, Big Hen, Birch Island, and Yarmouth Island. To the
East is Ridley Cove and the picturesque fishing village of Cundys
Harbor. The sunrises and sunsets from this location are
magnificent.
There are several paths from the house through the extensive natural
landscaping. You can get to various perennial beds and cutting,
vegetable, and herb gardens which add charm and color all year
long. The gardens extend to the sea banks; they are professionally
kept and contain peonies, old fashioned beach roses, lilacs, asiatic
lilies, dahlias, blueberries, wildflowers, lupines, rhododendrons,
bayberry, hydrangias and foxglove. Along the banks you can walk to
a spot on the beach which is very private and invites swimming, and
fishing at low and high tides. Long walks and beachcombing are also
very pleasant. A canoe is provided for exploring the coves and
bays.
From the house you can easily walk from the point (10 minutes) along
the ocean to the Snack Bar for fried clams and other local seafood
(according to USA Today, they have "The Best Lobster Roll on the
Coast of Maine"). Also within walking distance are town, Hawks
Lobster Pound for fresh lobster, clams, local smoked salmon, and
fish, flowers and The Block and Tackle Restaurant for great Maine
blueberry pancakes.
Further afield, Bowdoin College and Brunswick are eight miles away
(providing Maine State Summer Theater and concerts). The outlet
stores at Freeport and L.L. Bean are about 20 miles away. Both
Portland and Boothbay Harbor (where a short ferry ride to Monhegan
Island provides access to the famous artists colony and hiking
trails with spectacular views) are within a 45 minute drive.
