Harpswell Center House | Spectacular Oceanfront Estate with Beautiful Sunsets on 8 acres

5 Bedroom House in Harpswell Center, Harpswell

The “Big House” is part of an incredible 8-acre private estate with a shared private beach, walking trails, cliff views, a shared deep water dock, and even a freshwater swimming pond. The Big House is a 3,000 sqft fully winterized year-round home built in 1947 by my grandfather. The house features a large living room with an attached porch and an incredible waterfront view. There is a modern kitchen with a breakfast nook, a large dining room, five bedrooms (4 queens, two long singles), two full baths, and one half bath. A section of our deck is screened to escape mosquitoes and provide some shade.
You are only a short walk through open fields to a shared private ocean beach, which is perfect for launching your kayak. From there, you can continue on to a shared private dock that is great for swimming. Our dock is located in the local harbor at Lookout Point and faces west, offering fantastic sunsets and expansive views of the islands. This is an active lobstering harbor, so you can purchase fresh lobsters right next door!
The Big House is on an incredible 8-acre private family estate perched above a lush field and surrounded by 1,500 feet of ocean frontage. You can share this calm, quiet estate with a family-owned cottage and a small year-round home. We face west, so the sunsets are fantastic year-round.
So come swim off our dock, launch your kayak, swim off the rocks, read a book, have a lobster, take walks, or simply relax and enjoy! We look forward to your visit and hope to meet you during your stay.

Summary: Absolutely fantastic stay at magnificent house despite cold and rainy weather. The house offered a great location for all ages of family and friends that attended. The views are even more beautiful than what we saw online. The kitchen was very functional for preparing extensive celebration meals. Great secluded oceanfront location - highly recommended!

Summary: We spent a weekend at the big house in mid-November celebrating a milestone family birthday. We live not too far away so are familiar with the area...but even so were blown away by this property. The photos don't quite do it justice, if you can believe it- the house itself is so beautiful and well-cared for. It's obvious that people have thought lovingly about each room. The great room is a perfect gathering place with a cozy wood stove, the kitchen has everything in it you'd ever want to actually cook (no cheap, flimsy knives here!), and the mattresses and bedding in each of the bedrooms were to die for. We loved the way the house was set back from the water, with the lawn rolling down to the shore and its little trails along the hill. We had the best weekend and are so grateful to have been able to spend time in that beautiful spot. Can't wait to come back :). This is a perfect house to spend time in in any season- summer would be amazing, but so would a snowstorm!

Summary: My family and I rent homes often for 1 week each summer. This house was far and above the nicest. We thoroughly enjoyed the deck, screened in porch and beautiful grounds. There were beautiful places to take small hikes and great places to have lobster or other seafood. We enjoyed Dolphins and the Schoolhouse restaurant. When cooking at home everything was so delightfully organized . . Susan and Ned were so readily available with any questions.

Summary: We had a memorable week and marked a special birthday at this wonderful spot.The historic house is charming, amenity rich and situated on a beautiful property. We loved the garden, the grounds and the many different sites to explore on site. The kitchen is superbly equipped. We love to cook and found everything you could want - from spices to pots, small appliances, utensils, etc. We stayed in the Big House and had plenty of room for everyone to be together and find a quiet nook to be alone. Susan was very responsive and got right back to us if we asked for advice. During a heat wave Susan offered additional fans as the house doesn't have A/C. We were comfortable. We rented the Big House (BH), which shares a great dock and beach with two other cottages on site. During our stay, another cottage had an even larger number of guests than our group of 6. The only advice to offer is that renters might want to enquire about the size of other parties renting the same week on the property in case sharing beach and dock priviledges is a concern. It worked well for our group as everyone was congenial. We'd love to return to this house and to Harpswell. Having the lobster pound a short walk away made it even more magical!

Summary: It was absolutely perfect! The house is simply charming and so well stocked! We were lacking for nothing. The setting is just beyond words.... very special and just has a magical - mystical feeling about it. Sadly we were there less than 48 hours for a family memorial service. It's not often that my mom had all 4 of her children together, as one of my brothers lives in Alaska now. We grew up sailing the Maine coast, and there was something about this house that was just so perfect for us, for this weekend. We met both the owners and they couldn't have been nicer, telling us the history of the property, showing us the art studio and just making us feel so welcome. We would love to come back and stay longer! It's an easy 15 minute drive into Brunswick if you are looking for a bit more action, but you could easily just settle in on the point and happily enjoy the peace and beauty surrounding you.

Summary: This place was perfect for our group of friends celebrating a (significant) birthday. We loved the house--spent mornings in the kitchen, which was beautifully designed and had every amenity you could possibly need. Evenings were spent in the living room, around the wood stove. The bedrooms were large, with very comfortable beds. We loved the property and the beautiful views of the water. All in all, we had a great visit and loved this gorgeous and comfortable spot.
