Martinsville House | Magnificent Oceanfront Home on Penobscot Bay

3 Bedroom House in Martinsville, Port Clyde

Welcome to Harbor House, a family-designed and built timber-framed, 18th century reproduction, gambrel roof home on mid-coast Maine’s St. George peninsula. Harbor House is delightfully sited on two-and-a-half acres of ocean front property with private dock facing a secluded harbor, several islands, and the open waters of the Atlantic. It is located on a private road away from the bustle of summer traffic, yet only two miles from the Port Clyde working waterfront and Monhegan ferry, and three miles from the restaurants, library, bakery, public tennis courts, and yachting fleet of Tenants Harbor. Drift Inn Beach, a public beach great for swimming, and Marshall Point Lighthouse are also close at hand.
Let’s start out on Harbor House’s broad south-facing deck with its glorious ocean views, perfect for lingering over your morning cup of coffee, watching windjammers coast along on the southwesterly breeze, taking an afternoon nap on the hammock, grilling today’s catch for dinner on the gas grill, or star gazing after dark, with the Milky Way so close you feel you can almost touch it. On the deck you are literally surrounded by nature’s bounty, sharing the bracing sea air with the ospreys busily tending to their young on Grandfather’s Island, great blue herons wading in the harbor at low tide, and kingfishers perched on the dock waiting for you to snap a photo. Out on the dock linger over the views of the surf breaking on rocky ledges, intriguing tide pools, and the scent of beach roses and raspberries. Don’t be at all surprised to come face-to-face with an inquisitive seal or to hear the soaring cry of loons at the mouth of the harbor.
Moving into Harbor House, you pass through a cheery sun room with tile flooring, ready to receive the treasures you picked up from your seaside stroll or your sandy shoes and beach toys. Through the glass doors now you are in the living room with its pleasant mix of contemporary and antique furniture, and fireplace (firewood included) if the nights get chilly. Your eye is drawn to the exposed post and beam framing of hand-finished red and white oak cut from trees in Amherst, Massachusetts. The construction technique used is mortise and tenon joinery with oak pegs locking the frame in place. Notice, too, decorative details such as chamfering of the primary beams with lambs tongue stops and extensive raised panels used as wainscoting, all harkening back to New England’s architectural past. To your left is a complete modern kitchen with two refrigerators and stocked with all the utensils you’ll need to prepare simple or lavish meals, and dining area that can comfortably accommodate ten.
On the main level you will also find the cozy library, with a collection of books about Maine and the sea, thrillers and classics, and a second working fireplace as well as cable TV. For those needing to stay in touch with the outside world, please note that Internet wifi has recently been installed at Harbor House, so by all means bring your laptops! Overflow guests can sleep in the library on a comfortable queen inflatable bed provided for that purpose. You will also find a half bath on this level, and an outside shower open to the sky that is great to start your day with a shower as the sun filters through the leaves of nearby birches, or to wash off sand and salt at day’s end.

Summary: Another wonderful week at Harbor House, which never disappoints. An island of calm in a stormy time; a refuge from the insistent demands of our day-to-day lives. Each time we visit we discover more things to do and new places to explore, to say nothing of revisiting old favorites. Thanks to Christa and her extended family for making it possible for others to visit and enjoy this lovely place.

Summary: Christa and her family have created a warm, inviting home on a gorgeous piece of property. We awoke to spectacular sunrises, or dense fog, and both were appreciated. Harbor House is an incredibly serene spot, making it very easy to hear the quiet sputtering of lobster boats as they move from trap to trap. And eating breakfast (all meals, actually) on the deck is as good as “dining out” gets

Summary: This architecturaly stunning, oceanfront home has everything you could want for your Maine coast vacation. No need to cart bicycles and kayaks, they're already there. And the kids loved diving off the deep water dock. Load up on groceries, because once you get there you won't want to leave.

Summary: We loved this classic New England home that was built as a historic post and beam design. Great kitchen, shared spaces, bedrooms and deck. We had everything we needed and enjoyed watching the lobstermen check their traps. We were close to the Monhegan ferry and had a lovely day trip. We bought fresh lobsters from the dock and visited local art galleries. A great stay!

Summary: First impressions are as important as you know them to be. The Harbor House is a quiet vacation retreat on the water with post and beam construction giving it period connectivity that transports you. The modern Appliances and Kitchen appointments rock, along with the sunrises and sunsets on the dock. My wife enjoys painting watercolors, and unbeknownst to us many beautiful ones are on the walls there and were perfect for inspiration. The Harbor House checks many boxes for vacation time. Great time!

Summary: Harbor House was everything you could imagine Maine would be like. From the moment you walk in , you feel like your coming home to join family. The home has so much history and character and we loved being able to feel a part of that. It’s in a wonderful location -an easy bike ride to town, the beach , and the lighthouse. The accessibility to everything is wonderful. It is apparent the family wants their guest to feel right at home. Christa was wonderful to work with- she always responded and was very informative with any questions we had. We all loved ( 3 boys ages 9-18) our vacation so much and can’t wait to return!

Summary: A lovely location - great water views and access but sheltered enough to avoid high winds and the like. The house is comfortable and big enough to accommodate a family of four adults all of whom were working remotely during part of the visit. Lots of privacy.

Summary: I’ll start with where we ended - my daughter crying and not wanting to leave. We had the BEST time at Harbor House. It was an ideal location for our family to reconnect amid virtual school and work from home and the stresses of life. Between the swing in the bunk room that amused my kids for hours to the fireplace where we gathered every night for Bird Bingo and s’mores to exploring the shoreline and tide pools... everything was incredible! This house is the most magical place we have been as a family. My husband is obsessed with the gourmet kitchen and I loved all the details - the wood beams, antique furnishings and views from every window. We felt so at home yet so at peace there and will certainly be back to Harbor House. We feel so fortunate that Christina and her family opened up their home to our family!
