Long Cove House, St. George
Sleeps 8 in 4 bedrooms; 3 full bathrooms
A truly gorgeous house — a work of architectural art nestled in the woods on Clark Island Road and the shores of pristine Long Cove.
Long Cove House melds modern design and classic, coastal architecture, creating a space that is open, comfortable, bright and airy. Behold vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, lots of natural light and wonderful indoor and outdoor living spaces.
The house sits on 3 private and wooded acres with 400 feet of water front and a nicely-landscaped lawn with a path down to the water — wooden stairs access the water. A large, sloping ledge leads to the water — a natural "dock" that makes swimming or launching a kayak or canoe very easy when the tide is high. Long Cove is an amazing waterway. Follow it out into the open ocean around Clark Island or travel further up the cove to see bald eagles, fish jumping out the water and beautiful sites and very few sounds!
The right wing of the house has two bedrooms and two baths (all bathrooms have custom tiled showers). Each bedroom opens to the waterside of the house via large, glass slider doors and fabulous views.
The first bedroom has a king bed and a sitting area. Down the hall find the first bathroom. The second bedroom, located at the end of the house, also has a king bed and its own bathroom. This bedroom is also located next to the outside shower area — wake up and open your door to shower (very private) outside.
Between the two wings, find the linen closet, laundry closet and a hallway leading to the fabulous screen room. Vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling screens make this room fabulous for anything — a table for 8 makes dining al fresco easy. The owner of this house says any time of the day is wonderful in this room — coffee and the paper in the morning, lunch, and a cocktail hour when the day is dwindling.
The left wing of the house has the kitchen, dining room and the great room — with built-in book shelves lining the walls, floor-to-ceiling windows and soaring vaulted, beamed ceilings.
The kitchen is truly gourmet with fire slate countertops — a DCS gas professional stove, two refrigerators (one traditional, one two-drawer built-in), dishwasher, farmer's sink and all the supplies one would need.
The dining area sits outside of the kitchen with a large, rustic dining room table. There are extra leaves — you can sit 2 or 10.
The living room is comfortable and relaxing with plenty of seating, a stereo system and cable television. The house also has Wi-Fi Internet connection.
Internet service is provided by Hughes Net which is a satellite-based service. Internet service may be limited as to the amount of data that can be downloaded and will not be suitable for large downloads such as movies. This service is best suited for web browsing and checking email.
Upstairs, find two more bedrooms, a bathroom, a multi-purpose room and a roof-top deck.
The upstairs master is the most popular room in the house — there's a queen bed, seating area and an ingenious architectural design which gives a view through three windows built into the roof.
A full bathroom is located in the hall between the master and the twin room. The twin room has two twin beds and the same view as the upstairs master. Access to the second floor master is via the twin room.
A double French door leads to the roof-top deck — the possibilities and views are endless from this wonderful space. Steel safety railings run on both sides of the deck.
Inside the deck, find a quiet, multi-purpose room that would work perfectly as a temporary office space for those who have to work while on vacation.
Like the villages of Port Clyde, Tenants Harbor and Martinsville, Clark Island is part of Saint George. This dead end road is residential with a fabulous inn and restaurant at the end of the road. It is a perfect place to take a walk, ride bikes and explore.
Clark Island was a once-bustling town for the quarry workers who mined granite on the actual island. If you walk through the village, you can spot houses that were once the post office, general store, church and union hall. Tiny quarry-worker houses are still abundant, making this area beyond charming.
Equidistant to Port Clyde, Tenants Harbor and Rockland, Clark Island is an easy place to get anywhere from.
