Wardwell Point is a distinctive waterfront property with 18± acres on the Bagaduce River and expansive views to the east. The residence was created from a beautifully restored antique post and beam barn, relocated to its present setting from upstate New York. Thoughtfully curated grounds include sweeping meadows, blueberry fields, and 900± feet of winding shorefront along the Bagaduce River, a tidal estuary of Penobscot Bay. Just twelve miles from the historic village of Castine and twenty miles from Blue Hill, Wardwell Point offers exceptional privacy and seclusion in a timeless pastoral setting.
- The historic 1800s post-and-beam barn was carefully dismantled in Schenectady, New York, transported to Maine, and reassembled at Wardwell Point in 1992.
- Reclaimed wide pine floors, original and salvaged beams, and unique architectural details lend warmth and character throughout.
- The home offers five versatile bedrooms.
- The heart of the home is a light-filled great room with a soaring ceiling, a massive Freshwater stone fireplace, and a dramatic wall of windows rising 30± feet to frame views over the Bagaduce River.
- The gourmet kitchen is appointed with professional-grade appliances, many of them new, and a welcoming tile floor; radiant heat extends throughout the first floor.
- Also on the first floor are a comfortable bedroom and full bath, a sunny sitting room, and a half bath.
- The second floor includes two bedrooms and two baths, connected by a walkway overlooking the great room, with exposed beams and views of the soaring fireplace and chimney.
- On the third floor, a bedroom with en-suite bath leads to a cupola with commanding 360-degree views of the Bagaduce and surrounding landscape.
- A two-car garage tucked beneath the house provides practical convenience while preserving the clean lines of the residence and its setting.
- Thoughtfully curated outdoor living spaces include a patio that overlooks the grounds, offering a quiet vantage point from which to take in the meadows, shoreline, and water beyond.
- The accessible shorefront along the Bagaduce River offers opportunities for fishing, swimming, kayaking, and the enjoyment of small watercraft from an exceptionally private waterfront setting.
