Schooners Landing – Luxury Oceanfront Home with Spectacular Lighthouse Views

Schooners Landing – Luxury Oceanfront Home with Spectacular Lighthouse ViewsLeave the stress of everyday life behind and enjoy the peacefulness of a passing tall masted sailboat, watch the sun rise, feel the ocean breeze and take in all the coast of Maine has to offer. A stay at Schooners Landing will surely make your vacation one of your most memorable. Located on over five private acres with 300 feet of shore frontage in the charming village of Owls Head, just minutes from Camden, Rockport, Rockland, museums, shops, restaurants and lighthouses, our home affords you a perfect destination for a family gathering or a get together of friends. With three levels, everyone can have their own space yet share memories laughing and visiting together. There are water and lighthouse views from every room.Enjoy the many summer festivals or come for the 4th of July and sit on the deck and take in the fireworks going off over the water! We are blessed with a peaceful and tranquil spot on the water, yet very close to wonderful places to hike, swim, bike, golf, shop, dine, farmer’s markets and three major chain grocery stores so you don’t need to buy your supplies at the local gas station. :-)The modern house which was built with characteristic New England charm, is classic shingle-style architecture with much detailed interior woodwork and three stories containing approximately 5,500 square feet of living space with large oversized rooms. Windows and decks take in the spectacular sunrises, passing sail boats, lobster boats pulling up their traps just off the front deck and lighthouses. Rockland harbor to the north is home to the country’s largest fleet of tall masted sailing ships and many pass by the house each day. The house sits at the end of a 750 foot long driveway. A small stream runs year round through the property through evergreens and apple trees. The house is private yet not isolated like many Maine homes that force you to take a lengthy drive to shopping, dining or just to get milk. We are also blessed to be on a city water line so water pressure and good water quality, which are so often issues at many homes in Maine with well water, are not an issue at our home.You enter through an antique leaded glass and oak door and as you stand in the large entryway, to your left through double glass doors is the formal dining room with seating for eight with a side door to a pantry area and the kitchen.
