Sunrises and moonrises over the sea take center stage in this 100 year old, oceanfront home. Part of the historic 1920's ''Miles Fresh Air Camp'' on Rutherford Island, the cottage nestles on a bluff above massive stone ledge. The sweeping views of Johns Bay to bold ocean and the Pemaquid Peninsula are woven into the fabric of this home. Whether indoors or relaxing on the porch, you'll slip into the rhythm of tides, boats, bird song, and the turning of the seasons.



An artist's home always delights! ...and this doesn't disappoint. The open-beam living room with its cut-stone fireplace inspires tranquility and relaxation. The rooms are enlivened with historic Maine antiques, folk art, ephemera, and comfortable designer furniture -most included in the purchase. Beyond what is indoors, the sea and sky are always the focal points. Begin your adventure to Rutherford Island by driving over the drawbridge spanning the narrow body of water known as ''The Gut.'' Gamage shipyard and marina, a commercial wharf and fisherman's co-op, and Osier's general store and cafe are hubs of local activity. The Christmas Cove Improvement Association (by membership) offers social events, tennis courts, pickleball, swimming, and sailing. Seasonal Coveside Restaurant is a favorite ''sail-to'' destination for boaters, and Rutherford Island's 15 acre preserve is a nature-lover's paradise.
