5 Bedroom House in Boothbay

Come away from it all....catch your breath.
Six miles from the bustle of Boothbay Harbor is a peaceful waterfront retreat, called Bold Colorful Life, set among rolling fields, meandering stone walls and richly colored perennial gardens........imagine a place that evokes your fondest memories....and brings your vacation dreams to bold colorful life....
The Bold Colorful Life estate consists of four New England-style buildings: Farmhouse and historic, 200 year-old Homer Jones barn; a centrally-located garden shed; a charming, renovated 1800s Cape and the Gallery Barn.
The Farmhouse combines new convenience with historical flavor, with exterior porches and dormers, and a new deck with fabulous river views, all surrounded by gardens.
Inside, the first floor holds a large, fully-equipped kitchen, dining area and Great Room, built and furnished with 200 year-old barn-boards and timbers. These rooms face the river, the sunsets and the pond. A cozy media room with current technology and a handicap-accessible King bedroom and bath face the courtyard. On the second floor are four additional bedrooms with private baths; two facing the courtyard, two facing the river, and a Gathering Room above the Great Room.
Wake to birdsong in the apple trees and early morning fog on the Back River....then make yourself delicious coffee and a hearty, healthy breakfast in the fully-equipped kitchen in the elegant Farmhouse.
Wander 15 acres of gardens and woodland trails....borrow a sit-on-top kayak to paddle with local seals....enjoy games, meet our friendly bald eagles and other critters.....watch the Maine painted turtles or listen to frogs on the freshwater pond......wander the park-like grounds.....enjoy our 'forest bathing' invitations on site...wander our Enchanted Trail and our Fairy Walk...take a cool dip or a sail on the river....
Refreshed, venture out into the Boothbay region to join a tour boat to see whales or puffins, or to go lobstering, shop, view our many art galleries, try some local restaurants and generally have a memorable visit. The Coastal Maine Botanical Garden is only 4 miles away! So is the world-class Boothbay Harbor Country Club golf course! Or try hiking at any of the 13 preserves within 10 miles of this home.
At the end of the day, imagine coming ‘home’ to a snack and drink on the front or new back deck....a good book in the hammock.....a sunset through the windows....and a long, delicious sleep in one of your five lovely bedrooms with four private baths, colorful bedding, paddle fans, cable TV, WiFli.
Or come home to a peaceful evening in one of your five charming bedrooms with four private baths, colorful bedding, paddle fans, cable TV, WiFli....in the Cape house across the courtyard. Listing# 325241.
Renewed again, live your bold and colorful life! Both buildings (the charming historic Cape #325241and the elegant Farmhouse #229721) are available year-round.
It's the perfect destination for a personal retreat, family or school reunion, wedding or other gathering event.

Summary: We had a delightful stay at this home! Melissa was a gracious host and greeted us to review the grounds and property! She kept in constant communication throughout our week and gave us great recommendations for local restaurants and activities. My children and grandchildren enjoyed using the kayaks. The setting was peaceful and quiet. The house was equipped with anything you might need! The layout worked perfectly for our multigenerational family. I would definitely recommend!

Summary: Melissa is a superb host and took the time to walk us through everything about the house and the area. Great spot with beautiful views and the great room is truly a great place for everyone to gather. It also helped that the weather cooperated for almost the entire week. Highly recommend.

Summary: My father , who will be 90 soon, grew up visiting his cousins in Maine. He wanted the whole family to go again and stay in one big house! There were 12 of us and one, my mother, is physically disabled and can’t do stairs. This house worked perfectly for us! There was a handicapped accessible bedroom and bathroom on the first floor and lots of space to gather in. We were able to have all 12 people eat meals together at the huge dining table. The grounds are beautiful and there are several kayaks you can borrow. There is a view of the river from the back deck and we saw deer and a groundhog out back! It is very peaceful and secluded, but still not far from town. Melissa was great to work with and very communicative! We would definitely stay there again!

Summary: Three generations stayed with 4 grandchildren ranging in age from 3 - 11. The grandchildren were immediately enthralled with the collection of stuffed animals, games, musical instruments and interesting artifacts in the library and the TV room. They nicknamed the house, the rainbow house because of the vivid colors in each bedroom. It was perfect for us having 5 bedrooms and each bedroom having its own bathroom. The kitchen is well equipped and the grounds are a pleasure to stroll around and explore. Unfortunately due to Covid we were not permitted to entertain other members of our family, not staying at the house, but it would be perfect for a large gathering with a fabulous fire pit and lots of space. My husband and I used the kayaks the first morning and enjoyed going out, but the access is tricky for young children. We have stayed in Boothbay Harbor over many years, so this was a different location for us, but very easy to get into Boothbay Harbor and also convenient to the playground and The Maine Coastal Gardens. I would highly recommend it as a place to stay for a large group.

Summary: We arrived to find the most amazing Estate ever. The grounds are beautiful, the house exceptional and the owner Melissa the perfect hostess. She gave us the grand tour, plus a whole lot more. She gave us tips on where to dine, shop and sight see. Booth Bay is the perfect getaway. We all returned rejuvenated and ready to march on. Five stars is not a high enough rating in our book. We will definitely be booking another stay at The Bold Colorful Life Estate.

Summary: We just spent a week at Bold Colorful Life an idyllic property in Boothbay. Five of us, former ski buddies, chose this beautiful farmhouse for our reunion. The interior boasts five colorful bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom, a soaring library, a large well equipped kitchen and dining room and a loft area with additional seating. Outside, we were provided with lots of room to spread out. There are large decks that overlook magnificent grounds and the ever changing tide of Back River, which is easily accessed by the mowed paths that intertwine the property. I spent a lot of time reading on the back deck and watching the many varieties that frequent the feeders. Also placed throughout the lovely landscaped grounds are benches where one can find solitude and serenity. Melissa was the perfect host; welcoming, considerate and very helpful. I would not definitely recommend this beautiful home to anyone who enjoys getting away from it all.

Summary: The property is conveniently located on the river and not far from town. Our host was very accommodating and provided all of the resources we need to enjoy or stay. It’s a definite do over for us. We hope to bring a bigger group next year.

Summary: Rented the farmhouse for our extended family of seven for a week during the COVID summer of 2020. The entire process, from pre-contract discussion to check-in through check-out was easy, thoughtful, and safely accomplished. Melissa, the property owner and host, is near-enough to interact with when needed (and also to provide fresh garden vegetables!), but never intrusive on her guests' use of the house and the property. The home is fully equipped, from the kitchen with its myriad appliances, utensils, plates, pantry staples, etc., to the colorful bedrooms, each with a clean and fully functional bathroom. The library is a wonderful place to relax, read, play piano, or take a nap, the porch is great for watching the river over a morning cup of coffee or evening glass of wine, and the walking paths, hammocks, pond, fire pit, and river all provide ample opportunity to enjoy being outdoors in the pleasant Maine weather. Outdoor activities are abundant, both on the property and off, and Melissa provided many useful suggestions for how we could take advantage of all. All in all, it was a great week at a great location, and we all agreed that we would love to do it again.
