About this property

Waterfront Private Estate Located On 5-Acre Peninsula With Dock And Mooring

Watch picturesque sunsets from our post-modern, shingle-style, 4100 sq. foot house with a wrap-around deck on Sebascodegan Island - Casco Bay on a private peninsula with water on all three sides. The property has paths for exploring, gardens, 2,000 feet of shoreline and a dock.

This warm, secluded, and enchanting country home with breathtaking views from every window will make you think you’ve just stepped into a Currier and Ives painting. There are many nearby activities to enjoy such as water skiing, and boating, or you can fish right from the dock. A twenty minute drive will take you to the historic town of Brunswick.

The post-modern, shingle-style, 4100 square-foot 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 Cundy's Point Association on five-plus acres, with 2000 feet of shoreline. The house is within 50 feet of the water on all three sides. There is a private dock (tidal) which will accommodate a boat of up to 40' and a mooring is provided. 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 International Jet Port is just 50 minutes away.

The sunrises and sunsets from this location are magnificent. There are several paths from the house through the extensive natural landscaping, 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, hydrangeas, and foxglove.

The Living Room faces the water with direct access to the wrap-around deck through three sets of French doors and a staircase to the back gardens and deep water channel. The Living Room also has a wood burning fireplace! Directly behind the Family Room is a large, screened porch for waterfront dining and boat watching.

Upstairs there are three large bedrooms and two guest baths. There is one king-sized bed, two queen beds, two queen pull-out beds, and two twin beds. One of the bedrooms has an adjoining sitting room, which can be used as a fifth bedroom.

There is a new, fully equipped, full-sized gym located in the basement consisting of weights, a Bowflex machine, treadmill, exercise bike, and a boxing machine. Photographs will be available shortly.

The property also has a dock for tying up your boat or swimming.

Please note*

There is a cleaning fee of $350 per 7 night stay.

Two week rental tenants are responsible for a mid-stay cleaning of $350.

No additional fees for pets at this time.

If you are looking for a spacious well appointed home with all the amenities this is it! The art work and accessories were particularly impressive and complemented a lovely setting with exceptional views. The property conveys a real sense of home with easy access to great food and activities.

Beautiful Location!

This is a wonderful location for a peaceful visit to Maine. The house has lots of amenities that made our week extra fun - we made good use of the kayak on the calm water of the protected bay. The kitchen is well-stocked and we ate all meals on the screened porch. The house is about 20 minutes from a grocery store, but we didn’t mind and like being away from the crowds anyway.

Maine in Style

A perfect salt waterfront home on a quiet and scenic point. The house is a lovely 4 bedroom home with three gorgeous bathrooms. It's chock full of art, antiques and sophisticated decor. There's a conversation starter in every nook and cranny. The gardens are beautiful too. Thank you; we hope to stay again!

A little slice of heaven in Maine

Rick's sea house was a perfect vacation for my family, to gather, feast on lobster and reconnect. It was an amazing week. The house had everything you'd ever need and then some. We traveled during a really hot week, so the only thing missing was air conditioning, but a few fans got us through. Thanks for your hospitality and sharing your gorgeous home with us!

Heavenly summer getaway

We absolutely loved Rick's home, it was perfect for our friends and family to get away from the city and enjoy nature. We saw two bald eagles (there's a sanctuary nearby) and kayaked/paddleboarded our hearts out. The home itself is charming and has everything you would want or need; and with the windows open and fans on, it stayed comfortable even on the hot days. Rick was responsive and helpful throughout our stay. One of it not THE best place I have found on any vacation rental site.

Absolutely lovely

The location is beautiful, the house is amazing - it’s like staying with your wealthy aunt who has provided for everything. We swam a lot, the only problem is getting out of the water over mud and rocks is difficult. Kayaking is great, as is paddle-boarding. Morning, afternoon, and evening sun, sunrises and sunsets from the property. Loved it.

Perfect family vacation home and setting

Rick is a terrific host and his home is spectacularly outfitted for the most discerning guests. My family throughly enjoyed breakfasts, dinners and late night wine indulgences with cool breezes on the screened and open porch. His chef's kitchen is fully equipped. We also enjoyed close proximity to Orrs and Bailey Islands trails and beaches. There are great near-by restaurant options such as Iris Eats (Harpswell- amazing gourmet lunch) The School House 1913 (Harpswell) and Primo (Rockland). All in all it was wonderful getaway week. Thank you, Rick!

Positive with some room for improvement

This is a delightful property that affords fantastic views, especially sunsets and easy access to water and other Maine treats. Be advised that at low tide swimming off the dock is not inviting. The kayak had a broken seat back and ruder, so it was unusable. The property needs to be monitored for trash left by previous renters - finding their stuff on the rocks, lawn is a negative. There was a big buildup of trash bags in the garage. While we did not smell it, it gives the impression that no one is on top of maintenance. Similarly, we discovered a water leak in the basement. The owner, handyman and plumber responded immediately, but again it made us wonder about maintenance. With the price tag, everything should be at 100%.

Perfectly delightful and memorable stay in Harpswell ...

We truly enjoyed our mid-August stay in this beautiful house, located on an amazingly picturesque point of land. The lovely dock is handy to use to tie up the available kayak and canoe, swim from or sit and read and gaze at the water. Ridley Cove is well protected, perfect for small boats and paddle boards, but not far from open water. The gardens and back deck of the home were lovely, and the home itself was beautifully furnished and elegantly decorated and cozy all at the same time. We spent lots of time on the screened porch enjoying the changing scenery and sunsets on the water! The home and especially the kitchen were very well stocked so we cooked sometimes and also enjoyed take out and meals in the area (Cook's and the Dolphin were favorites). The Sonos linked sound system was a plus for us as well. We highly recommend Wild Oats Bakery in Brunswick for bread, salads, and sweets; Flight Deck Brewing for pizzas; and Holbrooks just down the road for lobster and steamers. Brunswick was a great town to explore and also for buying groceries and stuff. We enjoyed day trips, including to Camden (visit the gardens near the library) and the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens! Ash Cove Pottery and Lands End were good for local gifts. Rick's home is quite private and near a bald eagle sanctuary so we all felt so relaxed there and close to nature. Rick and his local team were always friendly, helpful, and gracious during our 2-week stay. Just an absolutely delightful and perfect stay at this enchanting home - highly recommended!

Maximalist Beauty in Surroundings Inside and Out

Rick was the consummate host, providing all the information we needed in advance and during the stay, as well as a welcoming bottle of champagne. He went out of the way to accommodate a member of our party with mobility issues. The house was spotless when we arrived, with gardens in full bloom and a perfect Maine waterfront location with Adirondack chairs at the water's edge, a screened porch for the mosquito-shy, and a huge deck with comfortable furniture. The kitchen was the best equipped I've ever seen in a rental, from the Viking range to the Le Creuset pans, and the two dishwashers made cleanup for our party of six very easy. The house itself is lovingly appointed in a maximal style -- many lovely paintings, a telescope, porcelains, objets d'art, collector's pieces and comfortable, attractive furniture abound. We liked seeing the nautical charts of the area in the hall to gain insight to our geographic surroundings and giggle at some of the place names. There was a whole closetful of games and puzzles which were perfect for the screened porch and building on the rare rainy day. There were thoughtfully supplied lap-rugs and throws in every room to help with the variable Maine temperatures, and a working fireplace with plenty of firewood. We explored the neighboring areas and recommend a sail on the Schooner Alert out of Bailey Island and a visit to the Giant's Steps. The only issue we found with the house was the bottom step of the staircase, which is wider than the rest of the steps and tends to catch ankles if one turns sharply down the hall. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we would definitely return!

A week of blissful relaxation by the sea

We abandoned our ambitious plans to explore surrounding areas because nobody wanted to leave the beautiful house and its views. The screened-porch was our favorite gathering place for coffee, informal meals and games. At night we met in the comfortable room with the stunning TV and streamed movies. We hope to return and highly recommend this unique home to others.

A beautiful private house with a gorgeous view.

It didn’t feel like a rental! A beautiful house with large bathrooms, and bedrooms. Very well stocked! All the doors and windows had screens so the house was wonderfully airy. The screened in porch was price-less. Rick was so generous. He let us use the gym in the basement and the house came with water sports equipment! The house has a gorgeous view and is very private!

A beautiful, quiet waterfront getaway

Our stay at Oakey Point could not have been better. The house is spacious, welcoming, and lovingly decorated. Our every need was thoughtfully provided for by Rick who is a gracious and responsive host. The property is breathtaking, and we took full advantage of the water, both being out in the canoe and paddleboards and also enjoying it from the beautiful patio and screened porch. The kitchen is a dream, and with its view of the cove, meal prep and clean up still felt like vacation! We loved getting to know Cundy's Harbor and exploring everything beautiful and delicious that greater Harpswell had to offer. The location also places you within an easy drive to Portland, Bath, Camden and many other lovely towns. Our time there was idyllic and will remain a happy and treasured memory for us all.

Elegant home, beautiful location

This elegant and beautifully decorated home surpasses all expectations of a vacation cottage and provided ample space and privacy for a two-family reunion, eight adults altogether. A highlight of the stay was a visit by bald eagles from a nearby sanctuary. Rick is a gracious host who is quick to respond to questions and offer suggestions for dining and activities.

This Southern family loves Harpswell

Well what a pleasure was to stay in your beautiful home Rick. My family is all around the Casco Bay Area so to be able to find such an amazing home with a dock for our boat was such a blast. We island hopped daily. Most of our extended family choose to lounge at Rick's home because is was so comfortable. Swimming, boating, paddle boarding, fishing we did it all. The weather was perfect and I have no words to describe the sunsets. The house is furnished beautifully. The linens were high end to say the least. We loved our time in Harpswell and would recommend this house highly. Thank you for the 5 star treatment Rick! The Laing Family, Karen, Bill, Mitch and Sam Peachtree City, GA

The Great Escape

Truly a one-of-a-kind escape to sophisticated peace and quiet. Three generations enjoyed this very comfortable, well appointed, well built, beautiful home on a quiet wooded peninsula of Cundy's Harbor. The row boat and the kayak offered a unique opportunity to get out on the water and to explore the area. The large kitchen and dining room allowed wonderful family dinners and game nights. (Oh, and the kids and working adults appreciated great WiFi!). It was very obvious that a great effort was made to cover every detail to make out stay comfortable. We greatly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Frederick Wohlfarth

Host profile image
Most of the islands near the house are deeded back to the Harpswell Land Trust so they will never be developed and will remain untouched. We have an American Bald Eagle sanctuary on the island (Big Hen Island) directly behind the house and they visit us in the trees frequently.

Being surrounded by nature and watching the boats float by while relaxing on the deck is rejuvenating. This is not a typical rental house. It's my 2nd home. It has been professionally furnished with antiques and original Maine art. I want people to enjoy it just the way I do when I am there.
