About this property

20 Acre Meticulously Renovated and Luxurious Waterfront Estate - One of A Kind!

With an incredible new custom renovation, Rockport Retreat offers five bedrooms and four baths and provides luxurious accommodations for up to nine guests. Located on 20 acres, this gracious residence offers all the charm of a turn of the last century Maine coastal home, while providing all the modern amenities sought by today's most discriminating guests. The Retreat is approached via a long tree-lined drive; it passes the property's magnificent barn that is on The National Register of Historic Places. The main house is ringed by charming covered porches. The first floor includes a fabulous cook's kitchen with professional appliances, the breakfast room, family room, sun room, foyer, living room, formal dining room and a beautiful bath with imported stone and tile. The upper floor includes five bedrooms (1 king, 3 queens and 1 twin), three luxurious new baths, laundry facilities and two lovely decks. The property includes an oceanfront parcel across the street from the house that provides beach access. The estate has no nearby neighbors, so it offers the ultimate in privacy even though it is convenient to all that Rockport, Camden and Rockland have to offer.

Lots of space for family and friends to gather
A wonderful place for a family summer vacation, close to the shore and just a few minutes drive to Hannaford and other shopping locations. Three nearby towns to explore— Rockland, Rockport and Camden. And several lighthouses.

Beautiful homestead
Our group of 6 adults and 3 children had a fabulous week at this great spot just north of Rockland. The house is nicely furnished and easily accommodated our family with plenty of places for everyone to spread out. We loved the extensive art collection and the large kitchen which is stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals with many people working simultaneously. The setting is as pretty as the photos show and we loved playing in the expansive yards and walking across the street to explore Glen Cove.

Exceptional Host! Almost Near-Perfect!
My family and I had a wonderful stay! I'll be as brief as I can and touch on just a few quick points: 1. Exceptionally clean! All the counters, floors, rooms, etc. were all spotless! Idk if I've ever stayed at a place that was as clean before. 2. Communication with Alan (the host) was also exceptional. Anytime we had a question about the house, the response time was very fast, and more than accommodating! He even had his maintenance woman bring us out a brand new firepit for the back yard when we told him the one at the residence was broken. You can't ask for better communication. 3. Location is great, 10-15min to Camden and surrounding towns. Most all the lighthouses you want to see are within a short drive. Of note, nothing that should dissuade you from staying, but just to keep in mind: 1. There is no central AC, just a few window units in the bedrooms upstairs. Not that Maine gets hot enough to warrant them typically, but we had a major Northeast heat wave hit one day during our stay, and it was very hot downstairs in the home mid-afternoon on that day. 2. The home is not the most elderly-handicap friendly. We had our 82 year old grandmother with us, and while we were able to make her up one of the sofa beds downstairs, she was unable to go upstairs at all because of the 2 steep staircases. Just bear that in mind if you are vacationing with someone who doesn't walk all that well long distances or up stairs. Overall, we were extremely happy with our stay!!!

Lovely home in great location in Midcoast Maine
We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home - it was a great location for visiting Maine - loved the shopping and restaurants in Camden and Rockland, and day trips to Acadia National Park and Monhegan Island were highlights of our vacation. Plenty of room for 8 adults and one infant. The property is very expansive and well situated. The bedrooms were comfortable and the kitchen and dining area were easily able to accommodate our large group. Would recommend for large groups and definitely consider going back again!

Wonderful house. Wonderful time
The property is beautiful and kept up well. The kitchen is SO well stocked! It is not baby proofed but if you come prepared it’s easy to make it work. Only two things I would say to improve the stay 1) bring rubber soled slippers for inside. The stairs are slippery without shoes ( which the owner requests you not wear) 2) it would be helpful to include directions for the dishwasher. We eventually figured it out but the buttons are no longer readable and we spent two or three days working on figuring it out. These two minor things did not impact the enjoyment of our stay. It was great!

Lovely spacious home with a wonderful gourmet kitchen on a beautiful, private property. We had five adults and one two year old. Everyone was comfortable and had a great time in spite of rain every day. It’s a short 10-15 minute drive to the 3 lovely towns of Rockland, Rockport and Camden.

Beautiful, art-filled home
This home is even better, and bigger, than the photos convey. Six of us stayed here for a family get together and all of us had comfortable rooms, access to well appointed bathrooms (including a luxurious master bath) and more than enough room to spread out and be comfortable indoors and out as well as gather for big meals. The chef's kitchen is huge and the most well stocked one I've seen in a rental, and the home is filled with amazing art and books. The location is great--both for having quiet and privacy, as well as access to the cove, and for getting to Camden, Rockport, Rockland and beyond. Lots of great hiking nearby. Also glad we took the owners' recommendation and did a day trip to Monhegan Island which was a highlight for us. My whole family, who can be picky, loved the place. Would 100% stay here again.

Beautiful Farmhouse
Beautiful property for a large party. My family of 5 with 3 kids ranging from 16 to 8 adored the open spaces. Sitting on 20 acres there was plenty of space for wiffle ball games and throwing the football or frisbee. The house itself afforded everyone their own bedroom and each of the 4 bathrooms had a shower. The porch was incredible and I spent several hours sitting outside enjoying the view with glimpses of the cove beyond the trees. The breeze cooled the house and made it very comfortable day and night. It was in a fantastic location that allowed for trips up and down the coast.

Perfect Maine vacation for all ages
Beautiful property with a lovely antique farmhouse which has been updated with all of the updated amenities a guest could wish for, including a well-stocked kitchen. Didn’t really need to use the AC units since we were able to open all of the windows for the cool ocean breezes. The proximity to the cove was especially appreciated as teens, kids and adults could come and go from the cove on their own timeline. Calm and temperate waters (by New England standards) made for a perfect paddle boarding and kayaking spot. And super private, as well!

Idyllic Maine Retreat
An idyllic Maine retreat with plenty of space for everyone to find their own special nook to relax, read, and yes...even get a little necessary work done. Inspiring views from everywhere! The meadow walking paths were an unexpected treat and filled with butterflies. The location made it easy to run out for delicious locally grown and crafted food. Do not miss Off The Farm, Beth's Farm Market, Bleecker & Greer Main Street Meats or McLoon's Lobster Shack! The kitchen was a well stocked and a joy to cook in. It's an easy day trip to Acadia National Park. The owner was easy to work with and had wonderful recommendations for activities, dining, etc. We sincerely hope to return again and again. Thank you for sharing this magnificent property!
