Description

Comfort & quiet on an island off the Maine Coast.The Red House was a farmhouse for a working farm from the late 1800s until the mid-1900s. Miss Grace, the daughter of the founder of WR Grace- a specialty building supply company- bought the 100-acre point of land where the Red House now is. Miss Grace built a large summer house on the point and a red farmhouse at the beginning of the peninsula to supply her and those who worked for her with their food and flowers.The Red House barn used to house the beef and milk cows, the sheep, and the hay and corn silage for the animals. The chicken coop was (and still is) behind the farmhouse. The vegetable garden was (and still is) in front of the farmhouse. The farm supplied Miss Grace, her house and garden “help” and the crew of her 100-foot yacht with fresh milk, butter, eggs, and vegetables daily and freshly-butchered chickens 2 or 3 times a week.The Red House Barn was made into the beautiful apartment that it is now in 1984. It looks out over the field that used to pasture the animals to Seal Cove where Big Tree Beach and Boating offers any age sailing and navigation instruction and a wonderful beach for swimming.Behind the Red House, there is a short walking trail to the shore which faces west- an ideal spot for picnics and sunset-watching.This is an idyllic serene spot, a bird-watcher, and nature-lovers paradise. There are also opportunities to sail, hike, play tennis or pickleball, eat ice cream, and explore the island culture and beauties.Sorry, no pets.Keywords: Beautifully renovated rental barn, attached to owner 1880s farmhouse.
