About this property

Waterfront Cottage in South Bristol w/ private dock and lobster boat views

  • This is a charming, light filled historic cottage on the "Gut" in South Bristol. Minutes from the summer community of Christmas Cove.

    The Sumner McFarland House is three stories and boasts porches on two floors. The large eat-in galley kitchen has multiple picture window views of the harbor. There are 3 bedrooms on the second floor and a larger bedroom on the third floor. There are bathrooms on each floor. There is a private driveway and parking next to the house. The true front of the house faces the water, and slopes to a large dock with a picnic table, a ramp, and float to tie up your boat, or to launch your kayaks and paddle boards.

    Our second floor has four small rooms:
    1st bedroom with full size bed and views of the trees
    Bathroom with clawfoot tub and shower
    2nd bedroom with full size bed and views of the harbor
    3rd bedroom with a pair of twin beds and views of the harbor and river
    There is also a sun deck to sit and enjoy your morning coffee or your afternoon book and wine.

    On the third floor, there is a bedroom suite with a queen-sized bed, kitchenette, half+ bathroom, and a reading nook to sit and view the water.

    The living room is bright with picture window views of the water. There is also a second living space for watching TV (or the water if you prefer). The covered porch is the perfect place to escape and relax and enjoy the salty breezes.

    Live or cooked lobsters are walking distance away at the Fishermen's Co-op. You can also walk to Osier's for fresh off the boat fish or a quick lunch. Ask for the Fisherman’s catch. During the summer season you may pick up fresh baked goods at Kneaded Provisions.

    The public boat launch is next to the Co-op, and you have a choice of Bittersweet Landing Boatyard or Gamage Shipyard for your boating needs.

    Kayak and paddle board rentals are available and can be delivered by Mitch at Midcoast Kayak.

    Watch the boats, the gulls, the seals, the morning mist rising off the water. Paddle or motor to the neighboring islands and ocean.

    Washer and dryer are on the first floor.
