Welcome to 1230 Back Cove Road, an exceptional coastal Maine compound set privately on 1.86 acres with 250 feet of direct oceanfrontage along the coveted shores of Muscongus Bay. Positioned with an ideal southeasterly exposure, this serene waterfront estate captures glorious morning sunrises, all-day natural light, and sweeping views that stretch past historic Haystack Island toward the open waters beyond the Friendship Peninsula. Thoughtfully arranged for multi-generational living or hosting guests in complete comfort, the property features two distinct, meticulously crafted residences totaling 2,252 square feet with four bedrooms and three full baths, complemented by a spacious waterside boathouse and a deep-water pier system. The prow-front main residence is designed to frame the coastal panorama through expansive Andersen windows, skylights, and a private waterside deck, while offering a bright, inviting interior with wood floors, a first-floor primary suite, and a modern kitchen appointed with quartz countertops and updated appliances. Completed in 2010, the secondary residence exudes timeless New England artistry, showcasing matching antique leaded-glass windows, period chandeliers and sconces, and a bespoke kitchen finished with Italian Carrara marble countertops and vintage glass hardware. At the water's edge, a substantial private pier features an octagonal gathering deck with built-in seating and an aluminum ramp leading to a generous float, creating an effortless launchpad for boating, fishing, kayaking, and swimming, with ample gear storage in the adjacent boathouse/shed. Wildlife abounds, from seals and coastal birds to a nesting pair of bald eagles on Haystack Island. Further enhancing turnkey peace of mind, the property has been upgraded with a new 380-foot drilled well, a new reverse osmosis filtration system, and a new water heater.
