COTTAGE WITH SPECTACULAR WATERFRONT AND GORGEOUS SAND BEACH UNDER 400K! Sweet Pea Cottage is an adorably cute 3-season, 1bed/1bath waterfront cottage positioned along the edge of a gorgeous sand beach. This charming vacation bungalow provides the perfect spot to enjoy the quintessential Maine coast experience. Cozy and quaint, Sweet Pea Cottage has been lovingly cared for and offers fantastic water views out to the nearby islands. A wonderful lawn area is perfect for enjoying outdoor time and the long beach is ideal for leisurely walks, wildlife watching, and kayaking opportunities. Fully equipped and offered turnkey, Sweet Pea Cottage has a strong vacation rental history as an investment property or make it into your own vacation home along the beautiful coast of Maine. This is a fantastic opportunity – it’s extremely rare now to find an oceanfront cottage in this beautiful area for under 400k, let alone one with a beautiful beach, solid vacation rental history, and sold turnkey. Expansion of the existing cottage is possible, and the adjacent, larger beachfront property (Maine Rose Cottage- MLS #1656500) is also available for purchase. The cottages can be purchased separately or together. Just a few minutes away, Jonesport is a typical, small Maine coastal village where you’ll find a few eating establishments, a market, hardware shops, and two banks, etc. The larger full-service towns of Milbridge and Machias are just 25 minutes away. Plus, Sweet Pea Cottage is the perfect place from which to explore nearby attractions such as Great Wass Island Preserve, Roque Bluffs State Park, Jasper Beach, Acadia National Park, West Quoddy Head Lighthouse, and Campobello Island, Canada – Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s childhood summer home. Survey is in process to divide property. Acreage, waterfront and square footage are estimated and preliminary. Taxes will be revised once the property is fully divided.
