“Nautic Bay”, a classic Maine cottage on a bluff that offers surreal views of the water amidst a backdrop of the Cadillac and Sargent Mountains with its changing tides. Every morning is a different display of nature’s scenes and colors. Tall mature trees surround the property for shade and for creating an organic, relaxing ambience. Outdoor deck near the water allows for alfresco dining and a view of the water from the top. Truly a classic Maine experience!
