About this property

Stylish, idyllic Maine Coast Retreat

This magical home on the stunning Maine coast is the perfect retreat for a family or extended family. Tucked away on eleven acres of woods, just across the road from the world-famous Wooden Boat school in Brooklin, Maine. For many decades now this charming village on its picturesque harbor has been a summer haunt of writers and artists, and a year-round home to the master boatbuilders who make little Brooklin "The Wooden Boat Capital of the World."

We are a ten minute walk from the ocean, twenty minutes from the conveniences of nearby Blue Hill, and a short drive from Acadia National Park, Deer Isle, Castine and all the other sights of Downeast Maine.

The most amazing thing about this remarkable home is its massive natural swimming pool. It's chemical-free, crystal clear, surrounded by flowers, and pleasantly swimmable even on summer days when the nearby ocean is frigid.

Gourmet eat-in cooks' kitchen, with all appliances including a Blue Star range. Large screened porch with couch and glider, plus long table (seats 10). Dining room with farmer's table that expands to seat 14. Living room with comfortable, casual yet elegant furniture. TV room with large, flat screen TV with Apple TV.

Master bedroom has a new king-size bed with high quality latex mattress, lots of closet and drawer space, huge windows that let in the breeze, and a large bathroom with marble shower, double sinks, and a Japanese Toto Washlet toilet.

Two bedrooms with new queen-size beds, lots of closet and drawer space, and plenty of windows. A third bedroom has twin size beds and floor to ceiling windows. These three bedrooms share 2 bathrooms, one with a clawfoot tub.

Teen loft with 2 twin beds, a large flat screen television with Apple TV and PS4, bean bag chairs, extra sleeping mattresses, its own bathroom with shower, and a separate entrance.

Laundry room with a washer & dryer and a sink for delicates.

There is a garage full of bicycles, lush gardens, a trampoline, an outdoor shower, and a T1 line for lightning-fast internet.

About the host

Hosted by Ayelet Waldman

Host profile image
We are a family of six based in California. This is our summer home.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the town of Brooklin, the remarkable sailing in the Eggemoggin Reach, the Wooden Boat School with its world-famous classes, and with this lovely house nestled in the woods.

What makes this property unique

When we bought this home, it was private and serene, nestled in lovely gardens, but we longed for easy access to swimming. We considered a traditional swimming pool, but decided we didn't want to swim in chemically treated water. Instead, we built a huge (Olympic size) natural swimming pool. (per Wikipedia: "A constructed body of water, where the water is contained by an isolating membrane or membranes, in which no chemicals or devices that disinfect or sterilize water are used, and all clarifying and purifying of the water is achieved through biological filters and plants rooted hydroponically in the system.") The pool is surrounded on all sides by flowers, and because the liner is black, the water is warmed by the sun.
