Set on 29.3 acres along Eggemoggin Reach, this rare Brooklin property has remained in the same family since 1960 and is being offered for the first time. Rolling fields, mature woods, and classic Maine shoreline slope gently toward 396 feet of private deepwater frontage on Eggemoggin Reach with views to Deer Isle, Babson Island, and Jericho Bay. The property also includes a one-third interest in a shared waterfront common lot with an additional 472 feet of shoreline frontage to a sandy beach cove.
The setting captures the character of the Reach -- boats moving through the islands, and protected waters long known as one of Maine's premier wooden boat cruising areas. From the property, you can watch the schooners sail into WoodenBoat each week and enjoy views of the Eggemoggin Reach Regatta.
The house sits on a gentle rise above the Reach, with broad west-facing views and sunsets across the water. Open meadows roll gradually toward the shore, creating a rare combination of usable field, mature woods, and deepwater frontage.
The main house combines a late-1800s historic structure with a thoughtfully designed 1962 addition created to face the water. Inside are exposed beams, a large open kitchen and living area centered around a fireplace, and water views from much of the home. A roof deck overlooks the Reach and surrounding islands.
A separate guest cottage, built in 1986 and tucked privately among the trees, offers additional living space with its own deck and water views. Near the shore sits a cedar-shingled waterfront cabin dating to the Florence Kelley era, restored in 1999 and positioned just above the rocky coastline with no plumbing, simple and unchanged in the best way.
For generations, the property has been used as a gathering place for sailing and summers on the Maine coast -- a landscape that feels remarkably unchanged from an earlier coastal Maine. A rare combination of acreage, history, privacy, and waterfront on Maine's iconic Eggemoggin Reach.
