Luxury waterfront property with pier -- wonderful views and sunsets
Enjoy this brand new luxury Maine-style home designed for open concept living and sweeping west-facing views. Soaring ceiling heights allow for uninterrupted views of exclusive Seal Harbor and exceptional sunsets. A full open kitchen, suitable for a chef, sits adjacent to both the contemporary living and dining ensemble and the 700 square foot deck. Each bedroom is well-appointed with luxury mattresses, pillows and blackout shades.
Designed for one-floor living, multiple generations can enjoy this waterfront home which is just 100 feet from a working-front fishing wharf, the open Atlantic Ocean and numerous protective islands. Ocean Watch enjoys the exclusivity of being located on Spruce Head Island while also benefits from close proximity to the mainland, accessible by bridge/causeway. Nature is kind enough to provide cool breezes on the island in the summer.
Guests are welcome to launch a kayak from the working dock on the property.
The property sits on the ocean at the end of a private 1/4 mile long road. Explore the unique island nature via the walking paths the property has to offer in the coastal woods of Maine.
World-famous McLoons Lobster Shack is a mere mile away on the island - a must visit and owner-favorite. One of the largest lobster suppliers in the world, Atwoods Lobster, is also nearby. Grab some lobsters fresh off the boat and cook them back at the cottage in true Maine-style. Local activities include Crockett's Beach, Drift Inn Beach, Farnsworth Art Museum, Mount Battie, Samoset Golf and more.
Enjoy this transformative environment and create lasting memories in this unforgettable Maine home.

The house was described very well. Located in a neutral location so you could see a lot of the coast of Maine without spending too much time in the car. Also, had a super nice view on the water (beautiful sunsets) and very quite and peaceful. The open floor design was nice and allowed for some privacy between couples. If you visit in colder weather, the heated floors would be fantastic!
Our family rented this house for Thanksgiving to have everyone under one roof for the holiday weekend. The house is very well-designed. The living room, the kitchen, and the dining area are all one open contiguous space, allowing everyone in these spaces to be together. The house also is new construction. It is heated through the floor and very comfortable in the winter. Great view over the water from the living room. Very clean. Very responsive management.
