This saltwater farm is located on a rural road (one mile off the main route to Boothbay Harbor), with large (5+ acre) lots. The only visible house is far across the cove, a circa 1806 Federal Home. Feast your eyes on the wide-open sky with dramatic sunsets and star-filled nights that are often dark enough to see the Milky Way.

The front yard (12 acres) includes a picnic table, fire ring with stone "seats." There is walking and hiking on the property and a private dock and float that reaches 7-foot depth at high tide (and 0 feet at low tide).
