Property Description
A once-in-a-generation chance to own a piece of Maine's bold coast on beloved Cliff Island—just minutes from downtown Portland. Perched high on a rocky point with ~60 feet of private, direct, deeded ocean frontage, this traditional two-bedroom cottage sits so close to the water that, from the main living areas and deck, all you see is blue—glorious blue. Enjoy unobstructed 200°+ panoramic views of the open Atlantic, surrounding islands, and inner Casco Bay. Just a short walk from the ferry landing, Cliff Island Store & Café, and the beloved beach at Griffin's Cove, this is truly the way life should be. Facing southeast, the sunrise greets you each morning, bathing the cottage in natural light. This is the perfect place—the ideal escape. Imagine launching your kayak from your very own pebble beach, strolling or jogging along quiet dirt roads, and exploring the serene, ever-changing landscapes of an island untouched by time and tourism. The owners recently completed a new stone seawall to protect against storms and erosion. The cottage itself is untouched in the best possible way—retro-cool, with original charm, unspoiled rooflines, and a nostalgic vibe that hasn't been compromised by misguided updates. With rustic charm, this home is move-in ready, or, like many on the island, you can reimagine it while honoring its soul. Cliff Island is the quietest and most pastoral of all the islands serviced by Casco Bay Lines—unchanged, uncrowded, and yet remarkably close. Though it feels a world away, access is quick and easy. A timeless escape. A rare investment. And an irreplaceable opportunity to own Maine's bold coast—up close, unforgettable, and forever.
