5 Harmons IslandScarborough, ME 04074Sale Price: $1,870,000

This is your chance to build a legacy as part of the most iconic beach-front community in southern Maine. Nestled in the peaceful, private Higgins Beach enclave of Harmons Island, this is not the typical beach house on a postage stamp lot, but more a saltwater farm on six acres of privacy. This beautiful 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath, 2700 sq ft custom contemporary year-round home has been designed and sited to take full advantage of the sunrise-facing water views. So many bonuses - commanding, elevated water views from every room; sunshine all day, providing amazing passive solar gain and an opportunity to add a solar collection array; two spacious decks, one on each level, with room for gatherings (and be prepared, because everyone will want their invitation!); nicely appointed kitchen open to the dining area and its lovely water views through the French doors; a FULL, daylight walk-out basement ready for finishing if added space is needed; even a two-car garage! You're part of a small, informal neighborhood which takes good care of the private end of the road, and you're just a five-minute walk (we tested it) to the beach! Or launch a kayak from your own waterfront on the Spurwink River for a leisurely paddle. One of the main floor rooms could easily be a bedroom and there are three more upstairs. Fireplaces both upstairs and down for great ambiance on a cool Maine shoulder season evening. Move in with plenty of time to enjoy the beach vibe, local restaurants, markets, the Eastern Trail, and downtown Portland. Very easy access to all major routes. You'll be looking for a long time to find this kind of waterfront privacy!
