About this home

A rare offering on Winter Harbor, this exceptional waterfront property captures the essence of life on Vinalhaven. Set in one of Maine's most celebrated sailing and boating destinations, the property enjoys a one-of-a-kind vantage point overlooking Ames Cove, with protected nearby islands just beyond and a remarkably preserved viewscape. Winter Harbor is one of Vinalhaven's most coveted waterfront settings--an area where properties are rarely offered and surrounding estates have often remained in the same hands for generations. With over 260 feet of private waterfront, the setting is both striking and serene. A substantial dock offers access at all tides, while a small rocky beach, open fields, mature and fruit trees, and a rear garden framed by historic stone walls create a landscape of rare character and timeless coastal charm. A barn adds utility and visual appeal. Set on 4.18± acres, the 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence was thoughtfully designed to complement its surroundings, with warm natural materials, enduring craftsmanship, and water views woven throughout nearly every room. Red birch flooring runs throughout the home, while custom tiled baths, solid fir doors, granite stone steps, and refined finishes speak to the quality of its construction. The main living spaces are bright and welcoming, centered around a beautifully appointed kitchen with granite countertops, a farmhouse sink, stainless appliances, generous cabinetry, and a large center island that flows into the dining and living areas. Expansive windows and glass doors draw in natural light and frame the harbor beyond, while generous decking extends the living space outdoors. Upstairs, the primary suite offers vaulted ceilings, deck access, and a soaking tub positioned to take in the view. Private, peaceful, and deeply connected to the rhythms of the coast, this is an exceptional opportunity to own a legacy waterfront property in one of Maine's treasured island communities.
