About this property

Brooklin House: magical location, deluxe property with stunning water views

The Brooklin House is designed to bring family, friends, and loved ones together in an unparalleled environment built to maximize the experience of a stunning location with breathtaking views of Herrick Bay and beyond. Offering four bedrooms, and two and a half baths the property features over two acres of unobstructed views and bay front access - your own private estate to enjoy countless home luxury amenities and activities. The house is light and airy and exquisitely decorated to echo the charm of this historic maritime community. Featuring stunning bay views from all water-side rooms there are expansive living areas with 2 fireplaces, a fully appointed chef’s kitchen and dining room and a large basement games and entertainment room. The home provides all the high-end amenities you will need. (Note: if additional guest space is needed a penthouse suite is available for an additional cost. Please see our VRBO listing “Brooklin House on Herrick Bay with Penthouse” and book through that site. The penthouse is not rented separately from the main house so if you do not need the extra accommodation, it will be empty during your stay.)

The spacious 2+ acre grounds feature an outdoor dining area that seats 12 with a fire pit and BBQ, several seating areas surrounded by beautiful landscaped lawns, gardens and stone patio. Ample places and spaces to sit and lounge or wander the property taking in these unique views with plentiful wildlife and shorebirds. Enjoy coffee in the gazebo by the bay, take a swim off the point or launch your kayaks. Lawn games such as Badminton and Corn Hole are also made available to guests for some outdoor play time!

challenges of Covid-19. As the world begins to open up again as we yearn to
travel, explore, gather together and be one with nature, we believe

Brooklin House

Why they chose this property

Water settings have been one of my greatest loves and design influences
for decades – they soothe my soul. Oceans and bays, lakes and rivers
particularly, are the places I’m drawn to most and where I find I’m most
at home in my work. I have developed an aesthetic that is described by
many as: “Crisp, clean lines with a fresh color palette - where luxurious
modern meets whimsical coastal.”

Walking out to the point and
standing inside the home looking out at the breathtaking views of Herrick
Bay, was a sensory overload that literally made my heart sing and my
creative juices flow. I knew this was where I wanted to be to create my
next destination vacation home.

What makes this property unique

World-renowned for its wooden boat building, maritime history and
exquisite natural beauty, Brooklin became one of the areas I visited over and
over again in search of my next project. Brooklin is home to the Wooden Boat School, the Eggemoggin Reach annual regatta and many boat building businesses. Even the Wooden Boat Magazine is published from here and you don't have to be an accomplished sailor or a boating enthusiast just to enjoy watching people simply "Messing about in boats" and they're everywhere in these parts!

Brooklin House on Herrick Bay is a stunning property in a setting that will literally take your breath away. It is close enough to places such as Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, Camden, Castine, Stonington, Ellsworth, Penobscot Bay, Belfast and even Portland, that draw crowds of holiday-makers year after year. The unique benefits that Brooklin has, compared to many other destinations on the north east coast of Maine, it's easy to get around and you can breathe and completely unwind here! You don't find yourself caught up in endless lines or traffic, day after day, yet you're within easy reach of all that may attract you to this area and its natural bounty.

Brooklin House has been lovingly restored and modernized for your comfort
and relaxation. Attention has been paid to luxury and the details at this property. As the world begins to open up again and we yearn to travel, explore and be at one with nature and those we love again, we believe Brooklin House presents an outstanding opportunity and venue to celebrate from.
