If you've ever been to Cushing Maine, you understand why this pastoral peninsula became muse to World Renowned Artists like Andrew Wyeth.Its natural, unspoiled and bucolic beauty becomes rarer with each passing day.Stone's Point is a quiet area once home to a highly-regarded summer music retreat and somehow, that creative and serene energy remains in the ether today, mixed with the saltwater and fresh air.325 Stone's Point Road encompasses all the things that makes this area of the world so incredibly unique. Surrounded by 65 acres of conservation land, known locally as Pleasant Point Nature Preserve complete with hiking and walking trails, this is a year-round classic coastal Maine cottage with 3 buildable acres, a right-of- way to the water and a view easement that will protect your view of Muscongus Bay.Its rustic simplicity can be kept intact or serve as a blank canvas for innumerable, varied new design ideas.The neighborhood of Stone's Point is a hidden enclave of summer and year-round houses where many residents have owned their properties for generations; things don't often sell here making this opportunity even more noteworthy.The cottage is roomy with 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom - a deck at the front has room for a small table; the current owners adore spending their mornings there with a mug of coffee and the newspaper...after all, it's the little things and time slows down here with minutes and hours kept by the tide.Surrounded by a lawn and mature pine trees, the cottage has an antique stone wall at the front of the property and an outbuilding that can be used as storage or perhaps a new life as a summer screen house as even this utilitarian building has views of the water.The Cushing Peninsula is adjacent to Thomaston and close to larger towns and cities of Rockland, Camden and Rockport. Current owners have a quote to build a garage with living space above and initial work from 44 North Architects for designs to utilize the current footprint.
