178 Johnson Point Rd, Penobscot, ME 04476
Nestled 5.5 miles from Penobscot Bay and Castine, this unique home is set on over 10 acres of beautiful woodlands and open fields, featuring 600 feet of waterfront along the lively Johnson Point Narrows. Seals can be seen swimming in the flowing tidal waters, resting on nearby granite ledges. A well-kept dock with a 10′ x 36′ float offers convenient boating access to the rich wildlife of this pristine estuary. This area attracts numerous migrating birds and other wildlife, including nesting bald eagles on a nearby island. Initially a log home, it was lovingly renovated in 1980, and a modern addition was added in 1998, creating a spacious open concept living area with a stunning master suite above. Additionally, a custom-built 2,500 square foot art studio was completed in 2010, perfect for various home businesses or recreational activities.
The abundant natural light from large clerestory windows is complemented by additional full-spectrum fluorescent and LED track lighting, providing a calm atmosphere for any activity. The riverside cottage offers a breathtaking view of the water, making it a perfect getaway for guests to immerse themselves in the sights and sounds of nature. Alongside the manicured lawns and diverse gardens, you’ll find two wood sheds, a lawnmower shed, and a garden shed, along with a well-established fire pit and an intriguing suspended two-story tree house. Each area is well-cared for and offers spots to relax and enjoy the surroundings. This is a unique opportunity to own a truly private and peaceful estate while still having the option for a large home-based business or studio by the water. The main house spans 4,600 square feet, accompanied by a radiant-floor heated 2,600 square foot studio and a 380 square foot cottage, totaling 7,500 square feet of heated living space, making this property exceptional. Newly paved driveways optimize accessibility and enhance the exterior’s appeal.
