7 Mark Island Vis

Our Carriage House is located on a beautiful stretch of Maine's mid-coast area. Conveniently located between the two towns of Belfast and Camden, the house is set in a very private area, at the end of a mile-long paved, private cul-de-sac drive. Nestled into a wooded ridge at the foot of Jackson Hill, the Carriage House is an ideal vacation home for a family or a couple looking for peaceful, upscale lodgings while exploring coastal Maine. The house was built in 2004. Fully furnished, the main living space is the eat-in kitchen, with cathedral ceilings, granite and stainless finishes and modern appliances. As foodies, we focused on the kitchen, with all the expected appliances including a dual fuel range, but also a wine fridge and an espresso machine. The master bedroom has a queen bed and a twin in a cozy alcove separated by a curtain. An adjoining bathroom has two locking doors, while the second bedroom has two twins. These could be made into bunkbeds if preferred. Larger groups have a 6th guest sleep on a large couch downstairs. There are three outside decks. A small shaded balcony off the kitchen offers a lovely place to have enjoy morning coffee while viewing the beautiful wooded surroundings and hills. The larger front patio has a table and 4 chairs and is good for enjoying the woodland scenery, entertaining or sunbathing. The back patio is the perfect place for outside grilling, sunning, or reading. All the upstairs rooms have window screens and ceiling fans, and supplemental air conditioning is available, though the home stays pretty cool built into the hillside in our cool climate. We are members of our local community solar energy project, which provides the electricity. The local grocery is 3 miles down the road, and Lincolnville Beach just 4 miles the other way. The neighborhood is a quiet and natural setting. Many of our neighbors enjoy walking the mile-long road for exercise and fresh air. 40 Acres of land are available for hikes. Owner lives nearby on the property. Come and check out our cottage in Mid-Coast Maine!
