HI there- Here I am in front of my Maine home with one of my huge Dahlias- I have over many varieties that grow beside the house in the summer. My whole family are Mainers and my mom and dad met at the Brunswick naval air station long ago. My grandfather owned the town grain store in Bath and my great grandfather had a farm once attacked by Indians. Spruce Cove is a magical place and home to me and my grown boys
(occasionally) and many friends from around the world all summer. We come in the winter too for cosy retreats and snow andventures and contemplation.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property because my husband fell in love with it the minute he saw it and was so very happy here. It has a magical quality about it because of the tides coming and going , the wildlife and the tranquility. Every summer is filled with wonderful memorable times from the fairy twinkles of fireflies in the woods in June to the fall colors brilliantly shining off the cove in October.

What makes this property unique

You drive fifteen minutes from Bowdoin College and Brunswick
(only 30 from LL Bean) and find yourself in the most quiet serene setting of nature imaginable. Bald eagles soar overhead, baby foxes cavort on the walls around the garden and the tides ebb and flow teaming with birdlife and an occasional deer, stripers caught right in the Cove off of my kayak. And an oyster farm right in the cove!
