Newbury Neck is a 9 mile peninsula. Gray Cottage is 8 miles out set on a 90 acre plot with Union River Bay on one side, and Morgan Bay on the other. For 3 generations, the family has protected this land from development and gifted through a trust, the blueberry fields that slope down to the ocean and that look upon the mountains of Acadia. Especially in the autumn, these mountains glow with deep reds, orange, and gold. RATES DISCOUNTED AFTER SEPTEMBER 17.
Gray Cottage by the Sea has an exquisite "back shore" private beach on Morgan Bay that you can walk to through a mile or so wooded path. On the front side of the property you have blueberry barrens and in the distance the mountains of Acadia National Park and the wide expanse of Union River Bay with views of Bartlett and Black Island.
Opportunities for kayaking, hiking, biking, and walking abound. There are also private charters, fishing trips, and whale watching opportunities.
The cottage has a generous front deck facing the water, and a lovely side porch that's perfect for 3 seasons due to screen and glass options.
This is a charming, beautifully maintained home with a private location on the coast of Maine.
Newbury Neck is an area where many homes and cottages have been in families for several generations and the area has a rich cultural history. With the lively village of Blue Hill nearby and the town of Ellsworth just a short distance, any amenity, restaurant or shop is never far away. Day trips to Bar Harbor, Brooklin, Stonington, Deer Isle, Camden are terrific way to spend a rainy day or to indulge arts, crafts, shopping and dining out.
To keep Newbury Neck extra special, many individuals have donated some of their land and put into the Land Conservancy which helps maintain the rustic beauty of the area with its commanding views of the mountains of Acadia National Park for "all" to enjoy. Exploring nature up close, walking, beach-combing, swimming and kayaking are all right here for you to enjoy.
A lovely public sandy beach for swimming and sunbathing is just down the road 3 miles or so, as is Perry's Lobster Shack- the only outdoor dockside dining in Surry.
Grey Cottage is a newer cottage that reflects an earlier era. It has 19th Century stone walls and gardens that are of the period and have been maintained to complement this charming 3 bedroom, 2 full bath cottage which sleeps 6.
This is a pet free cottage.
