About this home
Discover a rare opportunity to own one of Brooksville's most historic waterfront properties. Known as the original Wasson's Wharf, this remarkable offering features approximately 254 feet of deep-water frontage on the Bagaduce River as it opens to Castine Harbor, where 23 clipper ships were launched during Brooksville's renowned shipbuilding era. At the water's edge sits the original boathouse, thoughtfully preserved and currently operating as a seasonal rental, providing immediate income potential while you plan your future waterfront home. Above the shore, a gently elevated homesite has been carefully positioned to capture breathtaking westerly sunsets across Castine Harbor with the Camden Hills rising in the distance. A 4-bedroom septic design has already been approved, making it easy to begin creating your dream coastal retreat. A sweeping meadow leads gracefully to the shoreline, offering a picturesque setting rich in natural beauty and maritime heritage. Whether enjoying the peaceful waterfront, launching a kayak, or simply watching boats navigate one of Maine's most scenic waterways, this property offers an exceptional connection to the coast. Brooksville's rich maritime history comes alive here, where shipbuilders, sailors, and merchants once helped shape Maine's seafaring legacy. Today, the property presents a unique opportunity to preserve that history while creating a legacy of your own. Ideally located just 20 minutes from the vibrant coastal village of Blue Hill, with its acclaimed restaurants, galleries, shops, and yacht club, and approximately one hour from Acadia National Park and Mount Desert Island, this extraordinary property offers the perfect balance of privacy, convenience, recreation, and history. Whether you envision a year-round waterfront residence, a seasonal retreat, or simply wish to own a remarkable piece of Maine's maritime past, Wasson's Wharf is truly a once-in-a-generation offering.
