About This Home
Glidden Ledge - an outstanding 13.35± acre waterfront property with panoramic views over Fitch Cove, the Damariscotta River, and out to Glidden Ledge. This landholding includes a beautifully designed main residence, three-car garage, guest cottage, and a charming shed. The four-bedroom home features a refined yet comfortable layout with high-end materials and systems, centered around a dramatic timber-frame great room with a coffered ceiling and two-story stone fireplace. Additional highlights include a main-floor primary suite and a spacious screened porch with its own stone fireplace. A winding drive leads through thoughtfully cultivated grounds with over a mile of walking paths, mature gardens, and scenic outdoor spaces, including a unique point of land with a small private island as part of this estate. The property offers 2,716± feet of varied shoreline, a dock with three floats, and a mooring. Wildlife is abundant, from bald eagles to daily seal visits on the western ledges, and the fishing is excellent. This is remarkably an entire non-public peninsula with unparalleled beauty, peace and quiet spaciousness. Private yet convenient, the property is near Wawenock Golf Club, Pemaquid Beach, and Pemaquid Point Lighthouse, with the coffee shops, dining, stores and culture of Damariscotta and Newcastle just six miles up the road.
