Discover the simple pleasures of Downeast Maine with this charming primitive cottage nestled on 9.4± private acres in the coastal community of Lubec, the easternmost town in the United States. Whether you're searching for a peaceful retreat, a hunting camp, a seasonal getaway, or a place to reconnect with nature, this property offers privacy, character, and endless outdoor opportunities.
The 528± square-foot cottage is well insulated with rockwool and features a welcoming 16' x 16' living room and a 12' x 12' kitchen, warmed by both a wood stove and a ventless propane wall heater for comfortable four-season use. An attached 4' x 8' mudroom provides a practical entry space, while a 4' x 8' attached storage shed offers room for tools and outdoor gear.
The property is equipped with 200-amp electrical service and a dug well. The well is located uphill from the cottage and has not yet been connected to the cabin, offering the next owner the opportunity to complete the installation. There is no septic system, but the property includes a well-maintained outhouse, preserving the simplicity and charm of this rustic retreat.
Surrounded by mature woods and abundant wildlife, the acreage provides exceptional privacy and room to roam. Deer, songbirds, and other native wildlife are frequent visitors, making this an ideal setting for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. The property also includes deeded access to a nearby beach at Bailey's Mistake, where you can enjoy walking the shoreline, beachcombing, kayaking, watching the tides, or simply relaxing by the water.
Lubec is renowned for its spectacular natural beauty and coastal charm. Home to the iconic candy-striped lighthouse at ** Quoddy Head State Park**, the easternmost point in the United States, Lubec is where the first sunrise reaches the nation each day. The town boasts approximately 90 miles of shoreline and thousands of acres of conserved land.
